At the risk of repeating what ck77 has already informed you...Added on December 30, 2010, 12:46 amck77,i saw from the watches thread that u have bought laco Pilot Miyota Type B brown,is the original strap that have white lining which comes together with the watch can be exchange for https://shop.laco.de/en/Straps/Pilot-leather-strap.html ? anyways how u bought it from the online store?very confuse with the payment and stuff,i don't have any credit cards,am i still able to buy it? The listed price includes VAT, if your shipping address is outside of EU the VAT does not apply, which means you save 19% on listed price. The new Pilot models (at least the Miyota version which I purchased) come with 2 straps, the standard plus pilot strap.

Point to note..even the normal debit card with Visa feature like Maybank ATM Debit card can be used for paypal...or any online transaction... so...basically you dont really needs to have a credit card......if you do own an ATM Debit card with Visa feature from any local bank..like Maybank... |

Dear all pros and amatuers,
I was thinking to get a 3-5k mechanical watch preferrably ORIS range. Any recommendation ? I like the design of TT3 day date series with rubber straps. Any one that own this model care to shed some lights ? Thanks in advance and the information in this thread was very challenging for newbie like me to digest. |

Thanks in advance and the information in this thread was very challenging for newbie like me to digest. With your budget..perhaps compare a bit more wider.......Ball, Fortis...I assume you like Formula 1...some think Tag's F1 series are actually good representative of racing watches....although some might not like the quartz models... If you're a bit more adventurous, try look into Laco, Stowa, Steinhart...Even the lower priced Christopher Ward has gotten people excited here... You'll learn 2 important things here in this forum 1. never spend on designer watches. 2. buy what you like. Listen to opinions, etc, visit websites, see photos, and go for one that will capture your heart. It took me 6 months to zoom down to my Sinn U1 and i am still madly in love with it... all the best..

I think you have to set the date at the end of each month. It's easy with the quick set feature.
