Already did, my (old) sub ...

lume pics i definitely dont know how to take..i try and see..but on forum got some pics...i woke up around 3am and..still can read the time..so to me quite okay (hmm...wonder why i woke myself up then ?). But definitely cant compare with the big boys in lume technology..

i show pic of strap and back later....

yep i did....nando=pexus at MWF..heheheheeh so now everyone knows...

sizing is not too difficult...especially for someone as experience like you .....important is get a sharp knife or scissors...
secret is to cut the rubber.....but at end of rubber, got around 7-8 holes for you to put the pin that will connect the rubber to the buckle...
so you work you way in...(cut away one hole, then connect to buckle..and try..) many forummers advice to do this as you dont want to end up the road of no return of cutting away too much rubber..


for me..i tried at first 2-3 holes...and i got bored...knowing its still too big...i immediately cut till the last hole....and fortunately it can still fit...


yeah....i was `helped' by Euro drop...
best deal is still weak Euro + direct purchase from Frankfurt store...

Wow! You guys are crazy about watches. I am not a watch collector but just wear one to tell me the time. Its a TAG Heuer 2000 Classic and is almost 20 years young!

Some photos below

Hello and welcome
Time to change or get a companion for your Tag

yeah..welcome...nice classic looking Tag...

if you're not watch collector dont come here ........danger...if not after a while, your Tag will be tai nai nai...

Hahaha. Thanks for the welcome CK.

I do have a companion for the TAG. Its a Casio Protrek. I bought it when I had to send the TAG for servicing. Cost me a bomb!!!!! The servicing that is.

Like how much? And what they did/replaced?

Overhaul the watch. Replace crown, bezel spring and the three hands. Total damage to my wallet >RM1100. How much do you think my watch is worth?

It is a quartz, wonder what to overhaul Dial not replaced?
I think you watch is only worth RM1k.

No lah. Its an automatic.

[attachmentid=1696272]

What is the difference in value between auto and quartz?

The dial was not replaced. It is still the original. I take good care of my watch For its age I think it is in pretty good condition.

oops my bad
normally auto will fetch more than quartz.
they should have change the dial as well coz the old dial doesn't glow anymore (i presumed).
else it might look weird as only the hands glow.

You are right. The dial does not glow in the dark. But since the dial was in good shape (other than the luminence) LVMH did not ask me to change it. Maybe they were aware that their charges were exorbitant.

Aound the same time I also sent my Rolex for servicing. The charges by Rolex were only a couple of hundred more than TAG and pretty fair IMO. On top of that Rolex gave a 2 year warranty whereas LVMH only gave 1 year. So as far as I am concerned, this the last TAG that I am having. One of my children also has a TAG automatic and another is also asking for one. But I am looking at any other Swiss brand EXCEPT TAG.

I was digging out the old receipt for the TAG and the servicing cost was almost the price that I paid for when the watch was new!!!!!

Getting a watch in Swiss will be cheaper after deduct VAT? by how much? 20% of the market price?

did U change the bezel spring/hands/crown etc on the Rolex?
or its just oiling/cleaning?

1yr now! it was 3mth when I did mine. Things had certainly improved!

kids dig TAG, branded and do get attention from friends!
unfortunately the value still around 1K, quartz much lesser.
my TAG is your generation and I have seen it going for ~500-600 used!
