G FACTORY NOW OPEN IN SURIA SABAH KOTA KINABALU

Last weekend after a movie outing with my family, I stumbled upon the G Factory.
By the looks of it, seems like it was just opened recently.



Collaboration with the Korean Popular All Girl K-Pop group Girls Generation...
My guess is those will be selling like hot cakes.



Wife is interested in getting something to wear during her tennis games with friends... 
OK, let's be real... Do we really need a good reason to buy a watch? :-)
So... I leave the shop with this.





Baby G
Ref: BGA-150-4BDR
Powered by a quartz module 5257.
Sunburst pink dial.
2 hands for minutes and hours with a hint of dark pink tip just to remain fashionable... :-)
Subdial at 3 is for the day, month/date, PM indicator, world time, countdown timer, stopwatch, alarm, and hand setting mode indicator (interchangeable via shoulder buttons.
Subdial at 6 is the indicator for the mode that the watch is in.
Subdial at 9 is for the seconds.



As we all know, these watches are meant for the active lifestyle so I think it will survive a tennis match...
It costs waaaaaay less then Rafael Nadal's RM027 but will get the job done all the same :-) albeit with less prestige... but hey, I ain't complaining.

WATCH SHOPS IN PERTH, WESTERN AUSTRALIA

1st, apologies for the lack of updates.
Got plenty going on and finally got some time to update my humble blog.

During the recent school holidays, I was fortunate to be able to travel to Perth, Western Australia with my family.
Came across a few watch dealers.


The Swiss Watch Box at London Court.


The shop deals in both new and pre-owned pieces.
They are also the Authorized Dealer for Mondaine watches I believe.


A highly lusted for Panerai Mare Nostrum... a matter of time before it got snapped up I guess?




Picture of some of their offerings.
That last pic was inspired by a similar picture of a friend... lol


Next up is the Watches of Switzerland located along King Street.




They have Breitling, Cartier, IWC, Hublot, Rolex, Tudor and Panerai. That's all I can remember on the top of my head.
A nice place to visit.
The staff are nice and attentive.


 Last shop that I came across is Smales located in Subiaco area.




To my surprise, they carry the Grand Seiko line of watches.
They also carry Rolex, Tudor, Cartier, Breitling as far as I can remember.


This piece particularly caught my eye.
When asked, the gentlemen serving me told me it was sold on behalf of a regular customer.
Asking price? AUD15,000.00... hmmm...

Well, that's all from Perth...
Lastly is some wristshots just for the fun of it...
