Ok, i bought a new watch after been thinking for awhile, a long while i guess... so i finally bought a Automatic watch namely Seiko Premier Perpetual Kinetic... i tell you this watch is... is... er... Ho Liao la... hahaha... check out the web for its functions!
But damned! 3rd day wearing this watch i scratch it!!! BIG SCRATCH!!! So it was like a piece of my heart came out with it... sakit hati babe!!! then i realized, this watch is not suitable to be worn daily, especially i am a service guy, u know, holding spannar and hex wrench most of the time. So the possibility of getting the watch scratch is high...
Ok, so i decided to wear this watch only when i am not working. And i got to get my old watch up and running since it has been laying down brain dead for few months. I have to get it a new battery. This is when i went to the above mentioned watch shop. Furthermore, i bought it at sungai wang, should be going back there for polish but since i cant stand looking at the scratched mark, and i want it to be polish as soon as possible, i had to go to any available watch shop to enquire.
First i asked him, to polish my scratched watch, how much does it cost. He started with " Well, to polish, we have a package" He asked me if i see the different color tone on the metal strap, this is because the color has worn out so they will polish it to make it LIKE NEW. Blarrdy hell, he really think i am So High la! He said package is RM280... I can get it FOC at the shop where i bought my watch from.
Nvm, i said ok, i will consider to leave it for him to send to factory for polish. Which obviously thats not what i have in mind.
Then i continue to ask him about the battery for my old watch. You see, my old watch face looks like a chronograph watch but the different is there is no chrono functions, it shows the day, date and month with those 3 little round shape chrono look alike face.
He then start to kencing me again, he said " Well, this watch has special function, you see, there are day, date and month function, so it needs a special battery"
I responded " woah, really ar!?" He continue to bull me by saying " yeah, it cost RM28 for this battery, its a special battery"
Kanasai, for a moment i think, "SUPER WHITE" which part of me look like Water fish... then i just say okla, i look around first, if i need your service i will come back, which ofcos i didnt go back la.
Then later that nite i went to pasar malam, with my old watch still with me, i try my luck getting the battery change at the watch stall there. I show my watch to one uncle and asked " Uncle, you have battery for this watch ar?" Uncle took my watch and see, straight away come out with a verbal quotation... "5 ringgit"
Apa tunggu lagi, just change la... exactly the same battery, not special, no comment on the special function and less than 5 minutes. My old watch is up and running.
So guys, remember, Watch OUT if you are buying watch or getting a battery replaced at that Watch Shop at ampang point. You might look like a water fish to them, the parang is always ready to slit your throat.
P/s: For "Super White" meaning, please translate it to mandarin. :p
