Maybe you want to try going back to your watch's service centre. Liek for example Longines last time I went to change battery at their service centre at menara boustead, they provide free cleaning/polishing as well.

Then too bad, they don't have any service center here. Take to have a look at watchmaker for a quote.
For example, TSC in Amcorp Mall,

There are few shops in Summit USJ as well.

Since they are local, why don't you email them direct? If they don't sell it to you perhaps they can give you some contacts in KL.

ah the 6497. a real classic and very ubiquitous. among the best finished was the one in my JR Bressel which i used to have and had much joy owning. i especially liked how the bridge was cut.
Bro,

ur photos make every watch look great, whether its a JR or a G-Shock. tongue.gif

Try Petaling Street. There's a shop which sells all things related to watches. I can't remember what's the shop's name. If I'm not mistaken the name of the building is called Selangor building.

i noticed many ppl are concern with getting their watches all scratch up.

sapphire crystal does eliminate the face from getting scratch what about the case and bracelet?

Longines does have Ceramic Dial. Rado is famous for full ceramic.
Sinn and damasko do have harden steel.
anyone have info on carbon fiber?

thinking of building a list here. no love for quartz watches not listing zeno or TW Steel

- Longines L36554566 retails @ US$1650.
the L36614567, ceramic dial and bracelet goes at US$2400
- Ocean7 LM-4 ceramic priced @ US$899
- Rolex sub/gmt II/deep sea dweller on ceramic bezel (don't think I will brands that will cost more than rolex)
- chanel J12 ceramic, midsize unisex starts @ us$4.7k
- u-boat flightdeck ceramic retails @ us$6k
- Bell & Ross BR 03-92 White Ceramic retails @ us$4.5k
- IWC do offer a few ceramic selection
--> IWC Ingenieur Ceramic retails @ us$7.5K (in house movement)
--> Pilot's Double Chronograph TOP GUN @ us$10.9K (mod ETA 7750)
---> there is another version Pilot Chrono TOP GUN CHRONO REF:3789-01 2008 release @ US$7K
- Nixon Ceramic 42-20 retails @ us$2K
- Sinn Tegiment. cheapest is the Sinn 856 UTC Tegiment on leather @ usd$1490

The only thing that comes close to my mind is a Seiko 5. You could probably get a basic auto for RM200-220.

yeah, Seiko 5 automatic. Got one for my kid for rm180, the model that was issued to the Japanese peacekeeping force in Iraq.
