Auntie wanted to borrow a watch for her overnight trip to Malacca.

“How about DKNY?” I offered, showing her the timepiece.

She looked through my collection while muttering she preferred something brandless and small.

Since I am quite anal regarding my leather-strapped watches and being that my watches all cost more than $200 a-piece, those obviously weren’t what she had in mind as she shook her head and said that she wanted something less conspicuous and inexpensive.

Then remembering that I have two bracelet watches which might fit her idea of “small”, I rummaged through my jewellery box and produced them with a flourish.

She tried them for size and mentioned that the Misaki pearl bracelet timepiece was too long. She preferred the other but flabbergasted me with her comment. “This looks better… more dainty and cheap”.

Cheap?!

I’m not quite sure it’s an apt description for a Furla bracelet timepiece which I haven’t worn yet…

Oh well, at least she likes it and it suited her purpose. *shrugs*
