The power of the Rolex and its effect on Women

Only yesterday I decided to take the afternoon off after lunch to do a bit of shopping.
Being a weekday, the mall was less crowded so i decided to do some lingerie shopping for the wife's upcoming birthday.
Im usually not comfortable with this sorta activity so figured a Monday afternoon would be the most discrete time to do it.

So i rock up into La Senza and was snooping around trying to get my head round the variety for sale.
Out of the blue this hot sales girls that was prolly in her mid 20s comes up with the usual "can i help you tone?"
She was of petite build, wearing a tiny cardigan and in skin tight pants.

Distracted by her good looks for a few secs, I was explaining to her my situation of shopping for the wife and how clueless i was with the merchandise that was laid before me.
She must've been death the whole time I was saying it because they entire time, her eyes were fixated on my shiny Rolex Daytona

"oh what a lucky girl she is" she almost to herself mumbles softly. Then she invites me to the back of the store which she ensures me has the "latest release" of ladies underwear which she wants to show me....

Sensing that this was rather unorthodox, I took a quick look around the store and realized that there were no other customers or staff around.
So, sensing how harmless this could be I proceeded to follow the lovely girl to the back room.

As soon as we were out of public vision she grabs my left hand, with her palm around my Daytona and whispers to me "mmmm i love Rolex" and to my horror started to unbuckle my pants...

That's when i took a quick glance my Daytona to look at the time and realized the lack of date function in this overpriced hunk of steel... and then i suddenly remembered that it was April 1st  cool2.gif  cool2.gif  cool2.gif  cool2.gif

Hi sifu here, looking to wrap up my purchase for watch already, else the next time I ask/make a post will be about this sexy Tissot PRS516 Automatic already, which is going at RM1,700 after discount.

Okay, here's my short list.
1. Certina DS Action
I have handled this watch and I must say it is very well built and it is the most affordable Swiss make with a sporty look. Some of the watch shop says I could order, so I suppose I could get a BNIB that isn't molested by others. I was quoted RM1,080 for a display unit but I think I can get the same price for a BNIB piece as well. It's over my original budget of RM800 but I don't think any sporty Swiss could come cheaper (Malaysia's Certina is even cheaper compared to others).

2. Certina DS First
I did not handle this watch before as I believe it has been discontinued (not available on Certina website) but from this youtube video, it seems to be extremely pretty (although the one is video has a silver bezel, but the one has a black bezel). I'll need to purchase from mywatchgallery.com.my, sight unseen, condition unknown, but still backed with the 2 years warranty. Similar price to option 1.

3. Citizen BM5005-69E
I handle this one and I do like it because it comes with sapphire glass and it's an Eco-Drive. I was quoted RM900+ but I could buy internationally for about RM600-700. I am aware about the warranty issue but the price difference is big enough for me to get international set. As inexpensive as it is, it's not a Swiss yet so sometime later I'll still have to get a Swiss watch for myself in the future.

I really want to handle #2 first before making a decision, but with it being a discontinued model, I am afraid I'll have a hard time finding one. Anyone knows where do they have the most Certina in Malaysia? Just FYI, I have been to Sunway Pyramid, MidValley and Paradigm Mall.

Any suggestion?

Go here. Find out the retailers nearest to you and start calling if they have it in stock.

You have model no. for both watches.
Both the watches looks identical apart from the bezel.
Contact or visit the distributor / service centre and inquire regarding purchasing the "Rolex Yachtmaster" look alike bezel, compatibility and installation on the watch in mywatchgallery.com
