Blue Monster SRP461

Managed to find one piece that the shop was willing to discount off the Thong Sia RRP.
The iridescent dial really is very beautiful.

If it's the one in front of a jewellery shop? If it is the same one, the shop assistant does not offer me discount when I am there last month... say fixed price... :(

Anyway, if anyone is still looking for the Blue Monster, Queensway Shopping Center 2nd floor, near to Mac Donald's Staircase got 1 with bracelet. :)

I had already stopped looking but happened to be at Chinatown Point for work and saw it. I told myself I wasn't going to get it unless it was discounted (off the official RRP and not some inflated price) and lol and behold they offered when I asked. Maybe it was a slow day. :)

Thank you stan80!!!!!

Went to Queensway to have a look.

Really got a Blue Monster there. When I reached, uncle just open shop and was flipping the watch over.

Once I see the tag is confirmed SRP461K, my heart beat very fast. Then i see the serial number, faint!!!!

2xx/500

Its a meaningful number for me so i have no reason not to get it.

Finally its the price, like mistersoh, uncle willing to give a discount from the RRP which makes my take out my wallet without second thought.

Best purchase ever!

Pardon my lack of knowledge. But what is the "hacking" of this 4r36 movement about? This one can hand wind? How do I go about doing that?

Hacking means the secondhand will stop when the crown is pulled out, allowing you to set to a more precise time.

Handwind, just wind the crown.

So for hand wind, do i need to unscrew the crown first?
