My Blucher Mocs get new Vibram soles

The pair of Blucher mocs that I bought in 2017 have had their soles replaced recently. The soles basically wore out sometime in 2022 and I've  stored the shoes so that I can get them repaired at a later date. And that later date was a few weeks ago.

Last post was in 2021? Wow, I didn't even realise. Site update, people think I make or sell stuff in this blog and Mario Minardi shoes over in Singapore

IT HAS been awhile.  I suppose this is due to the fact that the pandamic lockdowns has made me reflect more about life and I started chilling out more instead of writing. 

Anyway, I am still around but writing has slowed down. But if you have been following my Instagram or following the Motoring Malaysia blog, you would know that I am still active and doing fine over here in Malaysia

Watch Sales / Production for 2020

Here is the global watch sales and profit numbers or production for 2020 (forgot the source but from a watch website). Anyway, just a thought on Rolex and Longines it sold the most watches in 2020. 

We used to think that their watches, even their basic Datejust or Oyster Perpetual models, were rare items making them hold their value.

Stock Take, A.K.A The Seiko (and Thereabouts) Collection to Date

Some Seiko watches and the odd one from SEAC SUB (I think its an Italian dive equipment brand)  top right. The watch uses a Seiko Instruments quartz movement inside a Monnin mid size case. More on that in another post.

Unboxing my New Montecristi Panama Hat


Above is an unboxing video of my most recent acquisition - a Montecristi Panama Hat from PanamaHatsDirect.com. This is a sub-fino grade according to Panama Hats Direct and it was shipped over from Ecuador direct via DHL (cost quite a bit but secure and actually quite fast). This is my first proper Panama hat and it would go in my rotation of hats. 

This isn't a review, but just the unboxing and some facts about panama hats in general, like what is a Cuenca over a Montecristi. 

I will do a review of it one of these days. But in the meanwhile, do watch this video if you want to.

Today's Watch - Swatch Scuba Libre and Thoughts About the Pandemic and Beater Watches

It has actually been a while since I wrote something in here. The reason is that I have not been in the mood to talk about what I've been doing or what I have tried out recently. Most likely because I feel that I have already said what needs to be said and there are not much else to say. And in terms of reviewing stuff I've bought, I have so much stuff that are merely repeats...like more watches or shoes or shirts...etc. Sometimes, you don't have the mood to write about another watch, shoes etc. It does get to you.
