I'm curious to know if anyone have had any problems with the Malaysian customs when shipping watches from abroad, i.e. being charged 'tax' (or perhaps solicited for a bribe).
Have received 6 watches without problems myself but wondering if I have just been lucky so far...

Grey = grey market watch dealers who sell genuine watches but are not authorized dealers.

That's reassuring

If my grandfather gave me an Omega, or any other watch for that case, I would keep it.

I once asked a watch shop at Genting. The salesperson mentioned 30% discount for FC but I think can be further negotiated. Happy hunting!

Personally prefer Omega SMP or Longines Hydroconquest. Sub homages eg Steinhart Ocean 1, Epos divers are also nice.

How much damage did the SMP quartz cost you?

Good spot on the 'Romega', couldn't tell myself although the models did look unfamiliar

I would go for Maurice Lacroix Pontos. Add a bit of $$ you can perhaps snag the chrono version.

Some deals here - http://collectorstime.com/maurice-lacroix.php

Speedy without chrono function is not a Speedy. I am guessing perhaps a Seamaster AT or even a Deville?

Panerai homage made by independent watchmaker.

Romeo, how big is your wrist? The 44mm case looks big. Might order one just to see whether the PAM design appeals.

Sorry bro, I am not in MY. You can check out the Monster in flesh at any reputable Seiko dealer. I posted some pics of my Laco in the v2 forum.

Although both are 42mm cases, IMO the Laco wears larger than the Monster as it is all dial, no bezel.

19% is the VAT tax. If you ship outside of EU, the tax is deducted which means the price is now (price with VAT) / 1.19, if I am not mistaken.
UHR watches are only available online.

I think the nearest AD is in Singapore - Gnomon. Which model are you looking at?

How is the accuracy so far with your getat?

36mm watches remind me of my Swatch collecting days. Nowadays I never go below 40mm, 42mm being the ideal case size.

Saw a Max Bill chrono available on JWWatch a few weeks back at a very attractive price. Too bad most of their watches sell in a blink of the eye.

^Everyone starts somewhere. Lurk around more and soon you will be buying watches worth a couple month's pay

If you are into Bell n Ross designs, can consider Steinhart aviation watches, Swiss made at less than 2k.

Both are solid quartz watches. If you don't need the chronograph function, the Nighthawk gets my vote for its dial design and also the Eco Drive technology.

Good review on the Nighthawk: http://quartzimodo.com/citizen-nighthawk-bj7017-50et-review/
