Wow. I was recently given a watch by my dad which he bought when i was born. Its something the money cant buy and will probably never be sold as long as i live. Treasure your watch!

S$40.00 in 1966











And finally on my wrist!



Some interesting notes:

1. Found out that the bezel was cracked and the watchmaker actually sourced an original bezel & glass to replace it! Other than that, it works perfectly.

2. The watch shop that sold the watch to my late grandfather is still around in Balestier! They just moved next door!

3. Singapore office numbers were only 6 digits and there was no such thing as a postal code!

To me, this S$40 watch is the most precious heirloom to me and I wear it with pride every time I go out.

Happy reading, guys & gals!

Priceless!!!!
