MANILA -- &quot;Yeah, I&#x27;m a big watch collector. Guilty, guilty.&quot;Sharon Cuneta made this statement in her newest vlog as she showed part of her watch collection.In a video published on YouTube on Wednesday, the country&#x27;s &quot;Megastar&quot; said she is only displaying the pieces that are &quot;meaningful ones, and some I just love.&quot;She started with her mother&#x27;s 1950s Omega watch which, she said, she inherited from her father.While it is an Omega, the antique watch was seen in the vlog with a Rolex dial. Explaining why, Cuneta said: &quot;Noong nasira po, pinilit kong magpahanap ng face niya, &#x27;yung dial niya. Wala na pong mahanap. But we were able to find a Rolex na kapalit.&quot;&quot;But what&#x27;s important is it&#x27;s my mom&#x27;s, and it&#x27;s with me. And it came from my dad,&quot; she added.Cuneta proceeded to show a 1970s watch by Corum, another Swiss brand. The small timepiece was given to her by her father when she was in elementary school.&quot;[This is] the very first watch that my father gave me, and he didn&#x27;t tell me it was precious... He gave this to me when I was in fourth grade and it is a Corum, a solid gold Corum with a diamond in each corner,&quot; she said. She went on: &quot;When I brought this to Zurich when I had my concert tour in Europe, which was in 2011 or 12, I think, I wanted to have it refurbished kasi luma na siya... Sabi nila don&#x27;t touch it because they don&#x27;t make it like this anymore. So iba ang craftsmanship na pumasok dito.&quot; Cuneta&#x27;s other favorite pieces include more of her late mother&#x27;s watches, such as a 1950s Girard-Perregaux with diamonds and sapphires.Another is a Cartier Ballon Bleu that the actress bought for her mother two years before she passed away.After showing heirloom pieces, the Megastar then gave a glimpse of some of the watches she has bought over the years. She showed her own Cartier Ballon Bleu, a Cartier Santos, and a 1986 Rolex Datejust which she said is the first she bought from the popular luxury watch manufacturer. &quot;This is the first Rolex I was able to buy,&quot; Cuneta said, before showing the two other Rolex watches she bought. &quot;So ganyan po, dahan-dahan, pa-upgrade nang pa-upgrade,&quot; she added, noting how she started with a steel and gold Rolex and moved to gold, and eventually platinum. She wrapped up her showcase with a pink Rolex Daytona with a mother of pearl dial, and a gold Piaget Polo that even got the attention of actor Christopher de Leon. &quot;In &#x27;Madrasta&#x27; I wore this in the ending of the movie. Remember when Christopher and I kissed?&quot; she recalled, referring to De Leon. &quot;Among all my watches, this was the one that Christopher de Leon noticed. He said, &#x27;Ganda niyan, ano &#x27;yan?&#x27; [I said] &#x27;It&#x27;s a Piaget. I love it.&quot;While she is a fan of luxury timepieces, Cuneta stressed that she also likes collecting toy watches and even those from G-Shock and Swatch, which are at more affordable price points. &quot;As long as I find a watch cute, I buy it,&quot; she said. Meanwhile, Cuneta had a message to those who seem to find fault with her fascination for watches.&quot;This is my collection, part of it. That&#x27;s not to brag, that&#x27;s the truth and that&#x27;s my life. And so I&#x27;ve shown you some sentimental pieces and why they&#x27;re important, and some just because I love them,&quot; she said. &quot;So bashers, this is dedicated to you,&quot; she continued, laughing. &quot;Because it all started with my famous... &#x27;yung Rolex watch na gold na pinost ko sa IG (Instagram)... Aba&#x27;y nilubos na namin. Kaya para po sa inyo ito.&quot; &quot;Ayan marami kayong iba-bash... You make my life more rainbow-colored.&quot;Watch her vlog below:<figure class="op-interactive"><iframe height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tC3PBBSWnnA?enablejsapi=1" width="560"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more in <a href="//www.iwantv.com.ph/">iWantv</a> or <a href="//tfc.tv/">TFC.tv</a></div>
