Watches and Nasi Lemak in Stealth mode
sham1,
I like the juxtaposition of both real and false banana leaf platter.
Indeed, the nasi lemak was shielded by extras like sambal buah petai (smelly bean), brinjal, long bean, acat pickles and fried egg.
The best addition was the chili sambal belacan paste mounted on the cucumber slice......mmmm.
The world timer is probably my favourite Patek Philippe complication but the Chopard version is more idiot proof and has a date display for crossing the date line in EITHER direction....

In search of excellence
My chance meeting with a silent purist watch aficionado revealed a commonality of spirit and ethos about many things in Life; one of which, is our love of watches. PPPPP or P-5 (Penang Patek Philippe Purist Pal) essentially has an extra 'P'...a deep Passi...
Good to know about the Scheufele Family!
I didn't know that they were into watchmaking so early on. I recalled they were in jewelry in Pforzheim, but I wasn't aware of their watchmaking prior to Chopard.

Lovely post MTF!
I am glad you had the opportunity to meet a like minded purist in Penang!
I was glad to meet P-5; not only for the watches
...but also for the vast knowledge of top eateries in Penang. We eschewed fancy restaurants and stuck to 'street food' that abounds on the "Pearl of the Orient". The only deficiency in Penang and Malaysia as a whole is the lack of sugar-free sodas like Di...
Yes...but I haven't really notice much difference between virgin and recycled :o)
Don't pay extra if you can't tell the difference! MTF
That fried koay teow looks delicious!
Purists who are not familiar with this dish must try it on any Malaysian trip!!! And that nasi lemak is so well disguised that I did not even recognise it!!! Did you say diet something??!! A foreign word in Malaysia I am afraid where the majority live to ...

Ah belacan
something many love but I personally have never liked! My main qualm with the Chopard world timer is its size at 43mm (I think) which is 4.5mm larger than the current Patek world timer, 5230. Also the Patek movement fills up the case back better and the g...
Alas, by the time I can afford
By the time I can afford PP world timer with enamel dial, my aged eyes will need bigger dial markers! 😢 Steel L.U.C Time Traveler One is affordable and dial legible now.... Regards, MTF
You are way too modest MTF!
And I was actually referring to a Patek world timer in normal production rather than the enamel dial one. Yes the enamel dial is all very pretty but I actually prefer the smaller case size of the regular production watch with the guillloche. As usual, I a...
Fantastic read, thanks for sharing.
That’s my favorite Patek, in my favorite iteration. Not sure who’s wearing the 5960 but huge congrats. Of course it goes without saying that the other pieces pictured are tremendous!
