My watch: Rolex Submariner
How much I paid for it: It is pre-owned and I paid $7,200 nearly two years ago.
Why I like it: I bought this watch as a little reward for myself. When I was released from prison more than two years ago, I was blessed with people who supported me and commissioned me to do paintings. When I had saved enough, I bought this Rolex. It's an achievement for me. I like it because it looks sporty.
Having wasted 20 years behind bars, I've come to realise that "time and tide waits for no man".
I want to live life fruitfully, instead of frittering it away. When my time is up, I want to have no regrets. I want to be thankful that I have spent my time and lived my life well.
