In just one week I took the plunge and bought two watches - a BALL Fireman II and an ORIS Oscar Peterson Limited Edition. These two are the first watches I ever own that cost more than 2K. I think I am getting addicted. Started with two SEIKO Kinetic (one was stolen from me), then progressed to two TISSOTS and now these. The latest TISSOT is only about two months old. I really must pull the handbrakes or I will be eating roti canai for breakfast, lunch and dinner. :Blue:
Still struggling to upload the pictures. :o Maybe later.

You are right bro. Everyday I am surfing the net admiring watches. I would love to own an OMEGA Planet Ocean Seamaster 45.5mm Calibre 8500 watch but I cannot bear to part with almost 18K to own one. Then there is the IWC Portuguese series. Ayyyyeeee!!! So many beautiful watches and "Money not enough".

I finally managed to upload these two pictures of my latest acquisition. I will upload more later and also of my TISSOTs.

nice one bro... i hv also just got into the fascinating world of horology, fine watches... owned a few entry-level watches e.g. tissot, seiko... but once i set my sight on my grail... simpan duit and bought myself an IWC... a big step change but worth it... hehe...

Nice watch. You bought 2 watch at the same time.....lucky you. I dare not buy anything now after my Ball watch 2 week ago..... :Blue: need to save money for something else.....

The problem with me is once I start on a new hobby I find it very hard to slow or stop the momentum. It started with photographic equipments a decade ago, then Thai Buddhist amulets, followed by zisha teapots and now watches. Running low on cash so I am pulling the handbrakes tight this time. Not sure how long it will hold though. I have my sights on an IWC Portuguese handwound and boy, do they cost a lot of money. For the moment I have downloaded only high res pics to quench the thirst.

Actually I was eyeing the same watch but the one with the grey bezel - 232.30.46.21.01.001, and the latest 8500 calibre movement. I went to the OMEGA boutique in Pavillion KL to try it out. I simply fell in love with it but could not bear parting with 18K for a watch that I will hardly wear. Did more research and decided to pick up the BALL and ORIS. After the intense search through the net for watches I would love to own I am now torn between the IWC Portuguese handwound and the Planet Ocean. Anyway, I leave the hard decision for the day when I have the spare cash to buy either one.
More pictures of my BALL.

Nice picture, you capture those with your DSLR? I think so. I want to take the same kind of picture but I'm to noob to do that... :Confused:
-
Sorry to disappoint you but I took the pictures with a handphone. My HTC Sensation XE. Placed the watch on the balcony wall edge and shot away using the close up mode. Then I bluetooth the pics into my laptop and uploaded it from there.
-
Not bad ya...I will try to capture some picture under a brighter light with my HTC One X. See whether I can do it nice or not... :Startled:
-
OK. Just managed to capture some pictures of the ORIS Oscar Peterson Limited Edition watch. The plastic seals are still there as I have not removed them. Here they are.
