Guys, although watches are not taxable here in Malaysia. But do take note the following custom issue when shipping your watch from overseas.

If you are in KL, try TSC in Amcorp Mall.

that sucks. I knew something like that would happen

Got my watches shipped from Germany, HK and Taiwan, so far no problem.
Just get the shipper stated cleary on the invoice and paper that the item is a watch to avoid (minimise) any issue.

i have visited wattatime MV last week, the staff said can give 18% discount for Tag.. i'm not sure if can stretch more the discount..

so i'm wondering are there any shops than can give around 25-30% for Tag Heuer or Oris watch?

thanks!
*
My friend bought a Tag in Watatime Sg Wang with a good discount, without receipt though.
Oris usually can get 30% or slightly more, depend you nego power.

thanks guys for the educating posts and articles...

ck...from what i read in forum, the Fortis Lemania is a rare watch, and if not mistaken, a LE too......Emotus selling it so cheap?
*
Nope, Lemania Cosmonaut Chorno is normal edition. There are few versions of it. There are 2 units there which is 40mm in diameter.
There do have another one LE with some arts design on the dial.
I think not much people appreciate or have knowledge about Lemania 5100, thus can't sell so well here.

Would you know anyone who can remove the crown guards for the Submariner? It would be interesting to buy a pre-owned one for modification & worn with similar patterned NATO straps

I don't think the crown guard can be removed as it formed part of the watch case.

Bamfords & some of the watch customizers on line seem to offer versions without the crown guard but in PVD black. The prices they charge are astronomical.

The other possible project is to take an existing day date and change the dial to a "California dial" which may make things interesting. Not sure if anyone can do this locally

Actually you can buy parts and build yourself. But it will be the franken watch and not original. Try google yuki watch.

hehehee..direct order from Sinnwatches....

waited for anyone to go Frankfurt and get the 19% discount.....but no one went... sad.gif

so just took the plunge la...it was a toss between Ball Diver and U1...

i have a feeling it will be too big for my puny wrist but who cares..hahahahahaha tongue.gif

did my online order few days ago....waiting for Fedex to ship...strangely, Singaporeans are flipping used pieces for about RM4.4-RM4.8k.....while all in, it cost me abt same to get new from Germany......(wonder if there's hidden cost i am not aware of... doh.gif )

How much damage plus shipping? The selling is EUR999 huh?

QUOTE(beau @ Jul 21 2010, 02:24 PM)
Thanks for the tip-Could be a start of a new hobby

I studies Yuki's website against the prevailing prices for a similar model Submariner in good condition sold at auctions. If I were able to procure all the parts & build the watch myself , it would be significantly cheaper than buying an existing pre own model.
I would need to buy a watch building kit from Ebay to get started.

Another watch worthy of this project would include the Paul Newman Daytona & The Steve McQueen Explorer with the Orange arrow.

Any further information or sources you have on this would be appreciated

Great ambitious project beau thumbup.gif
You will need all the correct parts and genuine Rolex movement to build though, if using ETA then will consider fake, IMHO.
