Impulse

I bought a 2.5k watch today during lunch. Yes, you heard right, 2.5 thousand buckaroos. I would like to say that it wasn't on impulse but fact of the matter was, a small part of it was. I got an invite for the private sale from Cortina Watches and thought I might go during lunch to check it out. I was contemplating looking through some of the watches and maybe come back the next day to finalise my decision.

Now, when I got there, I realised that there was a brand which I am unfamiliar with but they were offering huge discounts on, Scalfaro. For quite a long time, I was in the market for buying a nice watch and budget have been hovering from 1k to 3k. So this range definitely appealed to me with the massive discounts. The one which I got was originally priced at over 6k list price. That's 4k off! Who can resist such a deal you tell me? Unfortunately, the one which I was eyeing for a longggg time was grabbed by a man who took it just a minute before me. Damn that man! It was a Cap Ferrat Grand Tour Chronograph Dicompax. It was simply gorgeous with it's dual dials and metal strap. It was going for 3k plus but heck, if you are going for a watch worth a couple thousand, what's another right. So there I was, eyeing him and hoping he gave it up but I had the impression that because of that, he felt even more inclined to purchase it, damn.

So there I was, without my treasure but with the deep gnawing urge to satisfy myself with a purchase. So, I decided to get the piece which I had earlier had my eye on before lying on that one he bought. It was kind of an impulse but truth be told, the one that I purchase was rather pretty in itself plus it was cheaper! (consolation? ) So I ended with the Cap Ferrat Grand Tour Small Second. It's a black face piece with a rubber strap. Rather cool and sporty looking. Check it out here, http://www.scalfaro.ch/.

All in all, a very expensive lunch I might say. Good night Singapore
