patiently waiting for my incoming U1......

wow finally bro, you decided
from where and when you will getting it?

hehehee..direct order from Sinnwatches....

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

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

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... )

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

congrats! U'll get used to it.
its nuts! Singaporean don't want to make any lose. some crazy folks still buy. maybe we should all buy low and sell to singaporean.

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

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

Have to study the web & get all the tools.

According to some of the forums I've read it's not too difficult to do.

Yuki has most of the parts & movements are available through EBay

The alternative is to obtain all the parts & ask the watch repair shops like the one at AmCorp Mall if they will assemble the watch for a fee . Learn from them & subsequently work on the Paul Newman & Orange arrowed Explorer.

What do you think?

where to find the watch specialize repair shop?

my digital watch,casio rubber O-ring tercabut,i want to replace it.
fyi,O-ring prevent water masuk into watch

First task is need to get the right parts for the right watch i.e. 5513 case, dial, hands etc

Hmm .. but i wonder the authenticity of yuki's parts If you wear for your own and don't sell it later as 'genuine', that's find.

Not sure TSC would assemble the watch for you, but no harm trying. And to learn and do it ourselves, not that easy I think.

There's quite a number of different tools to invest in . The websites & forums on the internet that make it sound easy but then again they were also hocking watch parts & tools.

A good half way house is to assemble the submariner with an ETA movement first pending the purchase of a cal 1080 Rolex movement. No plans to sell the watch . Even if the watch movement was genuine, the movement serial numbers would not match that of the case . It would not fetch the price of the authentic version which sells in the mid 5 figures in mint condition with box & papers.

Let me find time to drop in Amcorp Mall over the weekend to enquire on the possibility of outsourcing the watch assembly & it's cost. Don't want to spend too much money on tools & time on this.

till now still haven't get my watch yet
found out last week there was a refund back to my bank acc, asked CW but they told me the order haven't canceled, wondering will I get a free watch? if order has been canceled just hope they could confirm me earlier so I could make another purchase, btw last order was having 10% discount

thats strange! did u check with them when they will ship it? 2 weeks past right?

My EA automatic watch suddenly not moving today. And my watch is out of warranty, some shop say i need send to service center for 3 months to repair it ? Any where i can get it fix in shorter period ?

PS : Any good watch price range around 1k for me to use temporary before my old watch fix ? I perfer skeleton watch if possible

Try bring to TSC Amcorp Mall. Service cost might not be cheap.

Swatch automatic skeleton ~RM500

read the user manual already.. but i can't pull the crown.. how to pull it?

Is it a diver? Try to unscrew first by turning the crown downward.

u might as well wait for the quote on how much it would cost to fix the EA. China movement replacement of the entire movement maybe cheaper than fixing it.

1K watch, might as well save up and buy a better watch.
