1 question...are watches from UHR swiss made? the chrono is using valjuox 7750 but there's not "swiss made" branding on the dial...does that mean the watch doesn't fulfill certain critetias to have the swiss made branding..?

but steinhart has the "swiss made" branding rite....just out of curiosity anyway..

hi guys i'm a newbie to watches. Recently wanna search for a decent watch (for my level la, i'm 18 years old). Max budget is 1.2k. Initially i'm interested in Seiko watches but heard of a friend of mine said that it's not worth buying seiko watches because it's overpriced since seiko is spending much more in advertising thus causing overpriced. Is it real?
anyway i'm interested in watches that's non-digital, battery-exchange-free (auto, moon phase, solar drive, whatever)...
Any suggestion would be appreciated... =)

Hi guys...

Just a noob question, As i sometimes been follow up with this topic...

I browse in Christopherward website.

The watch price is £305.00 non ec £254.17

Means if we order is follow 305 or 254.17???

Please advices... Thanks U

Need some advice..

I saw few people posted Laco watchess in the forum, the design is very attractive..Anyone here know where to get Laco watch in Malaysia?

BTW, any comment on Luminox watches? There're few model that really caught my attention. The pricing is quite expensive for me..Any trusted retail outlet/ online watch seller?

The more I look at pics of the MK1, the more tempted I am to order one. Darn, and I thought the C9 Harrison was just the one I would like next.

Need some help. I'm thinking of getting either of the following:

1. Tag Heuer Aquaracer Automatic 500M Calibre 5 (43mm)

2. Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean (45.5mm)

Any idea on price range for each? Anyone knows of any websites selling pre-owned? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

Hi guys,

Just bought my 1st TAG Heuer from Luzern, Switzerland.

It is an Aquaracer Calibre 5 300 Meters for 1550 Swiss Francs after VAT Refund.
It should be around RM4900-ish.

What do you guys think ? 

Guys, besides AmCorp mall whre else can i get to buy Watch Winder?

1) Never settle. Compromise.
If a Rolex is really what you want, don't throw away money on a Seiko just to buy. Save that money toward the Rolex. If need be, buy a used model and have it refurbished.

2) Whenever possible, pay cash.
Don't rob Peter to pay Paul. Avoid credit cards like the plague; interest rates eat up discounts. Buy what you can afford.

3) Buy for YOU, not someone else.
If you look long and hard enough you will find someone in TZ, or somewhere else who will criticize your choice no matter what it is. Buy for you, not to impress someone else.

4) Consider the movement.
Consider the movement in the watch. Shoot for in-house or fine base calibers like the Zenith El Primero, Piguet, Lemania, Venus...but don't buy a style you don't like simply because the movement is a great one. You can't wear a watch inside-out.

5) Consider the manufacturer.
There are great ones to choose from but never buy just because of the name!
Patek is considered one of the finest, if not the best manufacturer out there. But if you don't like the designs, don't buy one!

6) You won't become the watch.
The watch won't change you. It is a watch. Einstein had a Patek, Hemingway wore Rolex and Omega. If you buy a Patek it won't make you a genius, and neither an Omega or Rolex will improve your writing.

7) Size matters.
Large watches are a fad and a style. Some really look good. Consider your wrist size because a really oversized watch on a small wrist looks sloppy. If you do buy a large watch, make sure your shirt cuffs will fit over it. You don't want to have to redo your wardrobe to fit your watch!

8) Get Insurance.
You will sleep better.

9) There is always going to be a better deal.
Shortly after you make a purchase, you will spot that exact same model selling for less. It is one of life's little jokes. Don't let it bother you.

10) Keep in mind that salespeople are usually only objective about watches that they sell.

11) The journey can be more fun than the destination.
Shortly after a purchase you may experience a let down. Let it pass, it's normal.

12) If it is broke, fix it.
To err is human. It is better to fix a mistake than try to live with it. If you really aren't happy with a purchase, get rid of it!

13) Consider color.
All stainless steel, all white gold, all platinum with a bracelet goes with everything. With a black strap, almost everything.
18k&black strap is dressy. 18k&brown strap is elegant but more casual, and looks good with browns, tans, blues, yellow, green, and sometimes even gray.
White dials are dressier and easier to read, black dials are more cool and sporty.

14) Accuracy is relative.
Your self-winding watch isn't as accurate as your quartz. However it can be 99% accurate. Off by just a few seconds out of over 80,000 each day is pretty amazing.

15) Take care of your good watches.
Get them serviced, keep them clean. They'll last longer than you will.

16) This is want, not need.
No one ever needs a luxury watch, this is about want. If you ask yourself, "do I need this?" the honest answer is always, "no."

17) Never buy a watch as an investment.
Some watches will retain value, most don't. The watch that actually appreciates in value is unique and chances are it will be your grandchildren who benefit, not you.

18) No one watch will statisfy you completely. There is no single definitive model.

19) The more you know, the less you need.
A collection of 4 exceptional watches is better than a collection of 10 mediocre ones.

20) Only engrave if it is a special gift.

21) Buy what you will wear, not for an occasion.
Don't run out and buy a dressy watch for just one special night. You probably have one you can wear that will be just fine, or don't wear one at all.

22) Wear it.
If it has been two months since you wore it, you don't really like it. Get something you want to wear.

23) Limited is usually a marketing term.
Limited to 5,000 pieces is not limited. Limited to 2,000 isn't either.
Really limited is 30. Or 10. Or one.

24) You don't have to justify to anyone except yourself.
Someone will someday say, "you paid that much for a watch!!!" You are not obligated to explain, and they won't understand anyway.

25) Don't look at the Patek on the other guy's wrist and be envious. Look at the watch on your wrist and be happy. Don't judge anyone by the watch they wear, including yourself.

Anyone here is a fan of Maurice Lacroix?
I own the Pontos Rectangulaire Chronographe and i really like it... beautiful watch... retails for rm11800 after discount i think around 8k... I'm a fan of rubber strap watches. Previously owned a Tag Heuer Carrera but sold it coz too many fakes around...
Now I like the Baume & Mercier Riviera XXL Chrono in black PVD and Gold... another rubber strapped watch that catches my interest.
My dream watch will be a Zenith El Primero Chrono but i might only afford it in another 30 years or so... :haha:

I'm interested on getting a leather watch with budget of 1k-2k max
Any suggestions ?

U mean the Zenith El Primero Retrotimer 2010 Model? That's the one i am actually aiming at the moment.
Last time I used to drool over their Defy Extreme line but it's juz too much... 

Hey, thanks for the link... I did browse thru the website before but isit legit? Website constructed poorly and looks dodgy, that's why i did not bring myself to make a purchase.
I see all of you have shopped there before? Any feedback?
The Zenith you pointed out is not my style...    but a good Zenith nontheless
This is my style...

There seems to be quite some positive feedback on the Zenith El Primero HW Chronograph.
I have never owned a manual wound watch before and might jump in... price looks reasonable for an EP...
Anyone here owned one? The steel bracelet is the only thing bothering me right now though...
Damn, now it's really feels like i overpaid for my Pontos... 
Should have lingered in these forums more... I always buy frm shops direct.
Maybe I will give Zeetan a try... he replied to my mail pretty fast.

Haiyah, dat time just got my bonus... Go look see look see and then suddenly... long story short, half impulse buy lah. But thank god i still love the watch... well, we have to pay for our own education sometimes yah? 

Hey Patryn,
I juz go ahead and bought the Zenith EP Chrono HW that you recommended... Pending delivery though.
At first I saw it, I was like... lame...
But I spent the whole night looking thru pics and reviews and comments and the look start to grow on me.
Classic look, nothing to shout about but I might still be able leave it for my son if I took good care of it.
And the price is damn tempting... and no offence but really cheap for an EP...
I always though EPs were out of my league... went to the shop and have a look, all above 35k not yet discounted... but the starting price did freak me out.
I did not know about Zenith having entry level EPs.
Shows you guys juz how uneducated about watches I am.
A friend of mine dropped by my office and saw me finalizing the deal with Zeetan and he was like 
That price for an EP? He almost threw a hissy fit coz now he feels he's overpaid on his Oris Divers Watch, the same I felt about my Pontos... 
We both bought our watches at AD... this is my 1st time thru GD... hopefully all will go well.
Will update u guys and post some pics. 

Can't bro, I am from Kota Kinabalu.
That's why I look for recommendations on which online dealer is legit.
Thanks to everyone.
