Unique Watches

Since I lost a lot of time today doing my updates, I will not have a special watch today. You will have to make do with this pedestrian Timex model.

If you want to surprise all your 200 gay Asian boyfriends in Pattaya, maybe you should order a few hundred of these mobile phone watches from China. They are not quite as ugly as other mobile phone watches I have seen, and this one has 1 GB of internal memory, a touchscreen, bluetooth, and even a “1.3 million” camera. Those are the pixels, presumably.

In their day these pocketwatches were the equivalent of Patek Philippe and Vacheron. This gorgeous Agassiz pocket watch is available for US$ 1453 here. This is not something you’d give your young gay Asian lover for his birthday, but a keepsake that can passed down the generations. Maybe something you’ll give him when he turns 50? GAY 

This Bellagio watch is sure to please the discerning taste of your gay Asian katoey friends. With real Swarovski crytal, it’s the perfect accesory for a wild ladyboy evening out in Bangkok, that pinkest of cities. The design is supposedly inspired by the romantic Italian town of Bellagio, but to me it looks more as if it came out of a cheap boutique in the Bellagio in Las Vegas. GAY

This Marlboro Man style watch comes to you courtesy of Ashland. If your gay Asian darling wants to have something white and macho to look at during the day, I guess this makes the perfect gift idea. This is not actually the Marlboro man but a Wells Fargo cowboy. I was in love with such virile hairy types when I was younger. Verdict: GAY

This watch is meant for professionals. It functions as a beacon for rescuers in avalanches and other emergency situations. I guess it might be useful as well if you get attacked by your gay Asian gay-for-pay boy. Unlikely, unless you don’t pay. Anyway, this watch was born of the Tancher Electronics Social Safety Initative. A mouthful, but a very laudable idea. If you’re into extreme sports then this is your thing. GAY

Oh, here’s a watch to swoon for. A Patek Philippe men’s watch from the 1950s in 18 karat pink gold. This is the watch of my wet dreams, but alas. I will never be able to afford it at an estimated 100 - 130 k US$. If you’re filthy rich and want to surprise your gay Asian trophy boy with a watch to match, then well, I would be very envious of him. I deserve it more, really.

I will never be able to afford a Porsche 911 or a Cayenne, but I am a sucker for the understated gorgeous wristwatches they also make. If I had a wealthy gay Asian uncle I would ask him to get me one of these, the P’6750 Worldtimer GMT.

If you have a fancy for dictators then the Mao wristwatch may be your thing. Personally I think wearing something with Mao on it is disgusting. Here’s a guy who caused misery to millions and the death of hundres of thousands of people, if not more. It is like wearing a Nazi watch. No, this is Asian, but definitely not gay.

Does anybody remember Swatch watches? They’re still around, to my surprise. I used to own one or two of these plastic things ten years or so ago. And they still crank out new models, such as this one. Who still wears these museum pieces, I wonder? Certainly not your gay Asian tootsie? Verdict: NOT
