#21 - New Watch!

I've been needing a new watch for some time now but kept putting off buying one because:

a) I'm extremely picky when it comes to watches. It has to feel good from the moment I pick it up right until I put it on my wrist. If there's even a tiny negative feeling to it, I don't bother with it.
b) My current watch is one of sentimental value, as it is a Christmas gift from P about two years ago.
c) I don't usually like buying watches and don't particularly like owning more than one at any time.

I think those are a fairly good reasons to endure wearing my current watch which is much too tight after two pieces of the metal strap went missing. However, it's not only too tight but now I've been getting hives from all the pressure against my skin and that's what prompted me to start looking for a new watch.

As I've said, I'm picky. I looked at every watch store along Batu Feringghi while I was in Penang but didn't find anything. The next day while at Queensbay Mall however, I finally found what I wanted.

This beeeeeeautiful watch above! Simple yet classy/elegant enough. However, as it was a Tissot, it set me back quite a bit but I do think it was worth it because I'm not going to change watches any time soon.
