Title: KL, Bukit Bintang anyone?
Post by: dpkong on May 21, 2013, 11:16:33 PM

Anyone want to meet up somewhere in the Bukit Bintang area either on 3rd or 4th June? Yea, it's a weekday and probably most members are working or out of town.

Just to see if anyone wants to have a few beers and smoke (the usual dpkong...  :Laughing_on_floor: )

Wow.. quite a response!

Evening drinks sound good as this is a family vacation and we can drink and chat after the kids are fed and gotten rid of.... OR I can detour, and let the in-laws handle the kids so that wife and myself can start happy hour.

Oh.. the wife is targeting a new piece and if it works out with one of our sellers, maybe the handing over can be during the drink session. For myself, I'm just looking  :Laughing_on_floor:

I'll take a look at the 15300 if it's still available. Wife wants a 178274, jubilee bracelet, fluted bezel with diamonds on VI. Know any ADs with deep discounts?

And since I'm on holiday, I'll let you guys pick the time and place, preferably not too far from Pavillion

178274 can be BNIB or pre-owned which depends on condition and price. Seems price between that isn't much different.

If anyone has any leads, I'd appreciate it. Can't leave KL without one...  :HammerHead:

Offer was too good to resist and thought it best to reveal at the GTG. I'm game for Penang if time permits. Hope a Kuching GTG happens.

Many many thanks to all the members who showed up. Did not expect so many. And lastly a BIG thanks to sm for buying dinner and drinks.

Sorry I had to leave by 8.45 as my other half who needed transport home had already arrived.

I saw the thread by donald under 'What watch is on your wrist' a few weeks back where his other half's Rollie and the APROO was featured... wow 2 heavy hitters in 1 go..

Aside to SM,
pai seh that you footed the whole bill. Thanks very much but really we should have split the bill to host Donald.

With regards to Kuching trip, I'm still waiting for some of you to commit to a date to go.
Dying to visit Donald's toy shop and the famous Kuching seafood

Hey Donald,

So, you managed to pick up some tools as well from the ladies at Kompleks Selangor?

Some pics please.

Title: Re: KL, Bukit Bintang anyone?
Post by: dpkong on June 08, 2013, 02:50:31 PM

As requested, the tools from Kompleks Selangor..

(http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc457/dpkong/IMAG0039_zps7ec7e47b.jpg) (http://s1212.photobucket.com/user/dpkong/media/IMAG0039_zps7ec7e47b.jpg.html)

The tweezers for removing spring bars were too large to use on my watches. Should have tested it before buying. The tools aren't cheap and were priced a bit higher then if getting them online but it was a lot easier than ordering them and maybe getting taxed.

Enkidu wasn't joking about the hags....   ::)
