[REVIEW] OBAKU watch V129LECIRB

I really wish OBAKU made a name for all their watches, but nope this watch is only labelled as V129LECIRB

In the catalog, but not on the actual website wtf? The white is rather pretty actually, but I'd much rather it were in rose gold...

Anywho, this was the watch I received from my mom for my 22nd birthday~

We picked it out and before even buying it, my mom said she wanted to borrow it.

But then yesterday she insisted I wear it first for at least a day. I thought it was enough that she gave me the honor of opening it but sure, ok! hahaha x'D

It was purchased from Angela Daniel Jewellery for $265 (NZD). Wish I looked at the price before the purchase wtf. Only looked now for the purposes of this post and it's quite shocking wtf.

Well, the watch itself is nice, each jewel is set perfectly, and the surfaces are all perfect and smooth. The watch hands are thankfully perfect. This is the main perk of buying stuff in store I guess. Despite the (usually) giant price hike, at least you can inspect what you're buying before paying. (unlike what I bought in this post)

The markers around the side are super subtle ❤

I originally had a thing about the silver bits extending out over the strap, but the more I see the watch, the less it bugs me. In fact, at this point in time I rather like it!

The strap is really thin which I like, and the leather is pretty soft!

A little unfortunate is the fact that the size of my wrist is just right between the size for the first and second eyelet. The first makes the watch a tiny bit too tight, and the second is too loose wtf. If I lose a little weight it should be better though haha #ReasonToLoseWeight275917

worn at 2nd eyelet. Slipped all over he place .-.
Can you see the dent in my hand from wearing my DW Classic St. Andrews? lmao

Overall, this watch is pretty much the same as my Skagen (from the point of outfit matching / occasion / bling / color), though with one major perk: it's a lot easier to read the time since the face is round with markers. Apart from the fact that my wrist is unfortunately quite unsuited to the eyelets placed on this watch, I have no bones to pick at all! The price is a little steep, but I think it's worth it! Definitely a watch you can wear for a decade!

Finally, ending this review with the beautiful bouquet of fragrant roses my mom bought me. Isn't it wonderful to get home after a long day and see a a pretty present in a giant bouquet of roses? *w*

Timekeeping!

Recently I've been getting really lazy, to the point where I don't even want to bring out my phone and turn on the display to see the time.

Even though I tell myself that it's cause I don't have enough time, I know that I am actually just lazy haha

So, since I am going to be working (properly) next year, I thought it's a good time to take that excuse and buy myself a watch!

My mom actually wanted to buy me one for my birthday, since I mentioned that it's about time I get myself a decent watch. But then we went and bought it, she liked it so much that it is now on (permanent) loan to her hahahahaha

I think it was this model? Obaku Harmony (34mm dial)

In return, she gave me a watch of hers that I've been trying to pry out of her hands for the past four years or something. She always refused to lend it to me and wouldn't give me a reason why -3-

Skagen. Looks nice, ENTIRELY impractical.

It's such an old model that I can't even find what it's called anymore OTL
I really wanted a watch with diamantes for the longest time. Plus, this watch strap isn't actually black. It's like a really dark blue charcoal sort of color which I really love >w<

I also ordered a Daniel Wellington just prior to all of the above happening.

Classic St Andrews Lady

Took this photo before I took off the protective plastic peel thing (that red line is from the seal). It was so damn hard to remove omg. My nails totally could have killed the dial trying to peel it off. Thankfully it didn't, but I was being a worrywart. My nails are dangerous after all.

What's super amazing is that it arrived EXACTLY on time. Like, they said 11am on 11th Nov, and delivered at 10am exactly.

I don't know how UPS can be so accurate! Seriously pleased with this delivery, especially right after the whole ordeal of my whole macbook ordeal (long story short, someone signed off my macbook and apple refused to do anything about it until my mom called them. Apparently I'm not authoritative enough for call centres to take me seriously </3 )

One of my friends got one earlier this year, and then a little while back +Alexa Ober had a discount code so I decided it's time to make my order! Although the color doesn't suit me so much, it is a color that won't get outdated. So I guess it's ok. Someday I may need a watch this color o.O;


On a completely unrelated note, my last exam is on Monday and I have not studied for it. Time to get working! T^T
