one of my frens, who previously was a anti-watch person, msg me on msn late one evening.....
he wanted to find out more about seiko 5 watches..... price as well as other info like colours, strap/bracelet etc..... now that made me sit up immediately cos our fren, despite our best attempts to influence him on many occasions, could never be persuaded to wear a watch, let alone buy one.......
he was more likely to cut his hair off than to wear a watch.... haha..... that was how determined he was :P
well.......told him i cant remember but that particular model he was looking for could be around $200++..... he was kinda sceptical cos another fren was pretty sure it was about $600+ before discount.....
so what can we do except to march down to mustafa, THE 24 hr shopping destination for people who cant sleep, to SEE the watch just before midnight ......
unknown to many, mustafa does stock a wide range of seiko 5 watches...... most people are pretty familiar with seiko kinetic watches but i think the 5 are more interesting, especially at such reasonable prices....... they start at below S$100 for a simple model with a less elaborate bracelet.....
not contented with just browsing seiko watches, we also investigated many other options like S$10 digital watches....... tissot, casio G-shock and baby G........
our good fren was torn between a seiko LE honda F1 racing team watch and the seiko 5....... the former is about S$700 while the other is significantly less at S$400+.....
after a short discussion, he decided that he preferred the 5..... but the store did not have the one he wanted....... he wanted a black watch on a kevlar strap......... instead there was a black one on bracelet and a orange one on strap........ so we asked the salesguy, could we swap the strap over to the black one...... oh no, he said, it cant be done............ so too bad......
although he did not end up buying anything that night, the 3 of us had a fun time at mustafa.....
