1995 old Olympic model Swatch limited edition ( Collection/RM700)


One of the old swatch that i keep for so many years, the watch is still running very well, just met a buyer hoping to get this watch, so he told me not to post it in www.mudah.my to sell 1st, This watch is only of the limited edition of Olympic model, actually i'm lucky to get this watch also, cause last time most of the Swatch dealer only put this watch as a display and not selling it unless you paid Rm 1k for it, but i manage to get it in Singapore :)

I very seldom wear it, i only keep it in my drawer, will check the battery and time once awhile to unsure the watch is working fine. No scratches on the Chrystal, just that the rubber turn a bit yellowish due to old age.

Faver-leuba Duomatic Automaic (Collection)





My 1st Faver-leuba watch, is common to get one Faver-leuba watch, so what is so special about this watch of mine. I thought is a good catch when i buy online, then when i got this watch, i'm a bit disappointed. Cause when i turn the crown, the dial move along when i'm adjusting the time, and i can easily see the dial movement when i'm adjusting the date also. The crown was not original also :(  I didn't call call to the seller to complain about it any way, the engine was not service as mention and to my surprise the rubber seal was not there also.

In the end i brought this watch to service, solve the dial moving problem, just the spring for the date adjustment can't be replace, i thought of selling this watch cheap and hope to get back my service price or even don't mind making a lose. 

But one thing very special about this watch, the marker was super nice, you can see the marker shinning very brightly under normal light or while you are driving in your car. Another things is most of the Faver-leuba Duomatic is blue dial, but this dial was maroon in color due the the color changes over the year, that is what my watch maker told me :)

The next day i got the watch and pay him the money and was so wondering is it original or fake, i search online for 2 days to get information about rado watches. Here is the information you might need if you are to get a Rado watch next time :)

Tips and trick about Rado http://mike184.beepworld.de/fakesfranken.htm 

I brought this watch to service, and replacement of seal all that, and my watch marker charge me a high price in it, my 1st watch he service for me, after that we become friend and the price of watch service also decreased :) But still price of service need to depend on the engine model also.

Actually i went to find antique shop and blog there are many people selling Rado Voyager price from RM 300 to RM 450. But i can't find one that have a gold plated ring like mine and the dial condition is not so good also, the design a bit different.

Lady Bulova Manual Watch, 14k White Gold Filled ( Collection/Sale RM 400 negotiable)





My 1st Lady Manual Watch that i buy online, is 14k white gold filled, vintage lady watch are v small in size, but the engine was super good condition. I'm only using a 2MP handphone to take the photo so you can't see the engine photo clearly.

The 1st time i heard about Bulova this brand, after some research i found that is a branded watch with a long history. White Gold watch was not so popular last time, most of the people buying watches are Solid Gold, Gold Filled, Rolled Gold or Gold Plated. Where Solid Silver and White Gold watch are rare to find, especially now. 

The price of this watch might be very high, actually you can find cheaper watch by going Ebay and other website, but of cause there is always a think we must need to remember, how raw is your watch, how is the condition of it. I got a few cases i buy the watch online and the price is cheap, and seller say the watches are service, in the end i need to pass it to my watch marker to service it again which cause the price of the service and repair to be much higher then the watch I bought.

Information of Bulova Watch History can be found here

I'm lucky to find out that this watch condition is super good when i bring it to my watch marker to check. Is a gift i bought for my wife actually, but she don't wear it, so she decided to ask me to post online to see who is the fated person who is interested in it.

Great Grand Parents Antique Kuih Marker ( Collection only )














For those interested in making Kuih, you might find it very normal, cause you can buy these things easily outside, but actually you can't find wooden Kuih marker already. Furthermore this is not normal Kuih Marker, is been pass down from my mum's grandmother :)

So these wood have been already for more then 100 over years of history and is still in very good condition, I framed it up to prevent any damages. If you look carefully on the 1st item on the left, it look very special, i also don't know what kind of Kuih can be make out from here. The side of the wood has craving on it. 

If you like sculpture or wood craving, i guess you'll like the nicely done craving on the wood, every single design is well hand crave. If someone really wanna offer me a price, i think is not easy, cause once it sold is gone.
