« on: August 23, 2012, 10:09:59 AM »

Wow, you already had that fierce forum moderator look even then.  I guess it does no harm to start young.

My first watch was a Mickey-Mouse watch my grandma got me when we were in Singapore.

I remembered I wore a casio when I was primary 3. my classmate bought the same model and we hit the watch together to test the watch's glass toughness. fortunately nothing happen but unfortunately it was robbed when i was 13.

my earliest memory of wearing a watch is a watch from Kentucky Fried Chicken (that time they still use full name), a plastic watch that can turn into a robot figure.

many budget watches back in the 60's were hand wound and not waterproof. only started wearing watch in secondary school, some unknown brand. when i started working, save enough money to buy a seiko bellmatic for RM120.00

I can only remember when I appreciate wearing watch because it was my expensive Casio digital watch .. The trend when Casio electro luminence was hot

Back then I was very protective on my watch and There was a time there is a hit whereby u go and buy glass protective cage like rubber to put on your watch for rm 1

Those were the days

since watches then were hand wound and the crown is on the right, it is only logical to wear the watch on the left hand.
