Hmm.. Do u have another ranges around the 2-3k budget to recommend?.. I saw louis errard and also zenith and ML.. Anyone knows abt these price ranges?

retail value before discount
Louis Erard starts at ~3K
ML quartz starts ~3K, auto maybe 1 to 2k more.

Zenith starts ~13K and up

with 3K get a guinand

since U can spark 1.5K get the regular Antea 1st. must wait till Oct 2011 to deliver.
U do not pay now.

Antea 390 and regular antea diff is blue hands, silver rotor and price diff is ~600 rm. the size is the same.

Does anyone know a shop that sells watch spare parts? I'm looking for an 18mm buckle similar to the one shown here:

http://cgi.ebay.com/18mm-Heavy-Duty-Swiss-...=item1c18780b32

I've been a few watch shop, but they don't sell watch buckle, or they don't have the "flat" type like in the link above. Appreciate any suggestions on this.

Try a shop in Kompleks Selangor, Jalan Sultan off Petaling Street (opposite Nam Heong chicken rice).

patryn33,

Is City Time ent trusted and reliable? Have you or anyone dealt with them?

They seem to have pretty good price for Seiko (SRP043K1) & Orient (EM7A001B).

Hi,

Can somebody recommend me a decent watch shop in Penang? I'm interested with G-Shocks in particular, most shops I visited in my area have very limited selections shakehead.gif I actually found one in Pacific/Prai Megamall with reasonable selling price plus the boss there is friendly, but sadly the models I want are all out of stock... Tough luck doh.gif

you can only get them online. but its very hard if you use malaysian credit card. try paypal maybe you have better luck than the rest of us. There was a group of people that wanted to buy from them. but cancelled because the hassle didnt worth it.

Woohoo!!! Zeetan emailed to tell me my EP is on d way.
I will ask my wife to stay at home so that he doesn't miss the poslaju fellow.
thumbup.gif
Anyway, someone pm me regarding my earlier statements made about Rolexes.
I want to apologize if I offended anybody.
It's juz that in my line of work, I have seen too many ppl coming in to pawn their Rolexes that made me lose interest in it.
I dun see anyone pawning AP, Patek or Zenith or whatever luxury watch brand you can think of.
So I have come to the conclusion that Rolexes are bought by the owners just for security in good times so that in bad times, they can let it go as Rolexes hold their value pretty well.
The only Rolex that I am interested and cannot afford at the moment is their Daytona range.
Seldom ppl pawn that. Mostly Datejust and Oyster Perpetual.
I dun do research on Rolexes that much too. They mostly bring their Watches with boxes and papers including receipts and I jus take it by the value the local dealer (my contact) tells me. An AD for Rolexes in Kota Kinabalu.
Hope that clears up my side and my sincerest apologies as I dun wanna offend any Rolex owners or fans.
