Horological Meandering

1) Patek 5712/1A - For formal meetings and events 

    I have always like Genta's design and have considered between the 5712 and the AP15202 Royal Oak Extra Thin. In the end, I went for the 5712 after trying both out in the metal and I somehow I like the fit of the 5712      better.

2) Rolex ExplorerII - My faithful daily beater

    While I have owned other Rolexes including the Daytona, Sea Dweller and GMT, these was my very first serious watch that started my journey and I just find it hard to part with. The ExplorerII have been part of many        memories and adventures and have the scars to show with it.  

3) A Lange & Sohne 1815 Sax-o-mat platinum - For black tie functions

    Happen to chance upon this watch and I took one look at the back movement of the sax-o-mat and I know my bank account is going to be hit. I love the heft of the platinum case and the story in the restarting of the  

    Lange brand.  

4) Grand Seiko Snow Flake SBGA011 -  TGIF relax watch

    If there is one regret that I have, it is I wish that I have discovered the Grand Seiko much earlier. In fact, if I have come across the Grand Seiko collection earlier on my horological path, I dare say that It would have  

    replaced my Rolexes. There is nothing wrong with Rolexes and I love them for their form and function. But when you hold a Grand Seiko snow flake up and take a look at the Spring Drive sweep, the world just slows          down. Much as I am amazed at the finishing of a Lange, the Zaratsu polishing on a Grand Seiko is a sight to behold and no amount of pictures will do it justice until you see one in the metal.

5) Apple iWatch Series 3 - My run and swim record keeper

    Ok I know the next two watches are not the usual pieces that are featured but they are part of my essential six and performs the function that it is set out for. The iWatch keeps log of my daily runs/swims and let me  

    knows how much calories that I still need to burn from that New Year's parties not that long ago. 

6) Casio G-Shock Mudmaster - When the enemy base have to be destroy and it has to be destroy tonight

    The G-Shock is literally bomb proof and I use it to do all the rough and tumble stuff that I will not put the other 5 watches through. Mud wrestling with a python - bring it on. 

Will I be getting other beautiful pieces, probably. Its hard not to be tempted but these six form my essential base list. What are yours?
