Marc by Marc Jacobs - MBM5032 Watch

Other than being known as a Red lover, Banana Phobia, Blazer addict and a -self proclaimed- good billiard player. I am also known as a die-hard fans of an over-sized watch!

I've always considered big watch, men watch or hard-to-missed watch as a something eye-catching. Ever since I teenage, all of my big brothers always bought me a huge sporty watch. So instead of buying me a cute girly2 pastel color Baby-G watch, my Bros would prefer to buy a sporty G-Shock watch. Well, perhaps that's one of the reason why I loved over-sized watch up until now.

So far, I've owned 4 over-sized rounded watch from various brands which 2 of them are from Michael Kors. And one square gold watch, also from MK.  I started to collecting timepieces because they are the most multi-functional accessory. Watches give you the time and sometimes the date, while making a great fashion statement. I especially love everything that has a chunky bands, big faces and a chronograph details on it. Somehow they look really standout and can polish any look.

Lately I've been itching to expand my watch collection with something that looks more masculine, and that is a black stainless steel watch. This sleek type of watch has been in my bucket list for several months, yet I never had a chance to spare my money on it.

My choice for a black stainless steel watch goes to MBM 5032 from Marc by Marc Jacobs. It was love at a first sight. I can still remember how I like it so very much until I swore to myself I must have it in my life. Seriously, that's exactly what I feel at that moment. But then again, the cash flow takes control! I can't have it...even until few months passed.

But the wise man said "what should be yours will come to you" *ngarangdotcom.

Until few days ago, I can finally get my hands on this dream watch MBM 5032 from Marc by Marc Jacobs at Urban Icon Central Park Mall. The story to get this watch is quite long though. Starting from the idea of selling my giveaway MK watch that is too small for me and luckily one of my "Arisan" friend has an interest to it and so she bought it. Long story short, I planned to use the cash money to buy my dream MJ watch.

To my surprise, Jo called me saying that her husband was willing to give me an additional discount on the watch that I want. Well, at first I was thinking that even though I didn't get the discount, I will still going to buy it. So hearing that sort of news from Jo makes me feel very lucky as it means I can get the watch with cheaper price tho! Alhamdulillah.

And so now, my mission has completed by owning the black stainless steel watch that I have been dreaming of since months ago.

After this, jangan pikir ekeh kaga nafsu ma jam lainnya ya cyint, secara masa pencinta merah kaga punya jam tangan warna merah! sooo...let's hunt the red watch.

Cemungud.

Hunting for Red Watches

Hiikkss...sedih deh gw, dari sekian banyak benda-benda berwarna merah yang telah gw punya (pameerr..pameer!), ternyata ada satu barang penting lain berwarna merah yang sampe saat ini belum gw punya..yaak, it's jam tangan meraah!

Secara selera jam tangan gw emang sedikit aga nyentrik, karena gw sukanya jam tangan model2 cowo yang notabene lingkarannya besar, diameternya besar, bertali kulit dan looks masculine. So type yang berblink-blink dengan gliter2 dan motif2 girly gitu udah pasti ga masuk kriteria jam tangan idaman gw.

Tapinyah yaa, biarpun gw prefer jam tangan ukuran besar, bukan berarti juga gw maksain yang ukurannya kaya pake jam dinding ditangan gitu laah, yah setidaknya gw juga musti tetep perhatiin size-balancingnya di tangan gw biar ga kelihatan gede ngasal. Dan dari beberapa jam tangan yg gw punya ples jajal2, sepertinya diameter min 42mm-44mm adalah ukuran yang paling pas buat gw.

Dan setelah sekian hari bersliwer-ria buka2 ratusan halaman, teeeteup ya booo gw gak nemu2 yang srek dihati. Giliran ada yang sizenya pas, eh modelnya kagak, kapan ada yang modelnya bajus, eh ukurannya mini bener (hadeuh) dan begitu seterusnya. Jadilah sampe sekarang gw masih tetep rajin browsing nyari2 yang pas dihati dan mudah2an pas dikantong (ga mau rugi).

Jam tangan dari Nautica ini bener2 jam idaman gw deeh, modelnya, talinya, chrononya..pas pas pas..bener2 jam impiaan..tapiiii jam ini udah gak ada yang jual lagiih, dan denger2 diameternya 46mm aja gituuh..hayaaaah..kegedongan boo -__- (padahal bajuss)

 

Dan ini adalah beberapa model lain yang gw sukkaa..tapi ya itu, si MJ kiri modelnya mah udah chakeps abiest-lah, gada kurang2nya, chrononya bagus, model talinya bagus (walopun bukan kulit), pokoe teopebegete. Taapiiii....sizenya cuman 40mm...mini beneer -__- (Masa musti gw rendem di minyak tanah dulu biar gede?! *eaaa). Trus si MK kanan, dalemannya oke, ukurannya oke, model talinya oke, tapi bahan talinya itu yang gak oke...it's made from rubber..hhmm..bukan ga bagus sih, cuma jdi gak pas aja jatuhnya ditangan gw, kelihatan bebel dan tebel, ga endees aah! Lastly si Fossil, model daleman dan tali semua2nya lumayan menarik, ukurannya juga pas..tapiii bahannya aluminium, gatel2 boo tangan ekeh *pengen digampar ga sih customer kek ginih!!!

Timbang puyeng2, apa gw beli yang indang aja yaa? Sizenya cukup 43mm, modelnya simple, basic and bertali kulit...tapi (haaah..another tapi??!) hasil baca sana-sini, katanya warnanya ga trully red masa?, jadi kaya neon coral gituh..isssh..bagus apah ditangan gw?! pantes gitu dikulit gw? ga terlalu gonjreng gituh? ga nyala2 norak gimna gituh? *ditimpukgelasdariujung

Puyeeeng..puyeng..puyeeng 0__o

So how bout you all? did you have a red watch? and what kind of red watch did you prefer or have?  Any idea where to find a good one? bagi2 penampakan doonk..sapah tau ada yang bisa saya pinjem gituuh ;p

XoXo ;)
