The Watchseller


Not that he is old. Perhaps he is in his mid 40s.

I have seen him here for the last 20 years or so. He plies his trade at the Taman Paramount Night Market on Sundays. At other times, he can be seen hawking his wares without a licence at the SS2 morning market.

He told us a couple of times he was caught by the enforcement officers form MBPJ.

I guess his is not an easy business. He has to get up early and drive his van to his "spot" at the designated market. Then he and his wife will have to put up the tables and display all the watches, wall clocks and alarm clocks. If it rains, then business will not be good.

We go to him if we need our straps changed or to buy new batteries for our watches.

He is a very pleasant man.
