Got one for my wife. She likes it, i find its decent for a day 2 day watch.

i think i got it form watatime? There are several models.. some instead of sapphire crystal they have some sort of plastic material.

I really need to dig out the receipt for the actual price. But I remember it was about 27~28% discount. Retail price I'm pretty sure every shop is the same, just the discount u manage to get. It was an impulse buy, we just walk in and grab it after dinner. No prior plan to get another watch at all. On hindsight i could have gotten 30% discount.

Just bring direct to Dion, its just up the street can even walk form Sg Wang. You wont regret it, very nice place, if its simple polishing etc u can wait and see them work on your watch thru the glass panels.

Invest in a tissot? I dunno.. at RM3k seems expensive... my RM1.5k voljoux 7750 is on the way over from germany its so cheap i cant resist to take a look.. atleast it would make interesting dinner conversation.. "Wow, yours is 20k? Oh mine cost around Petaling Street price" hahaha

My UHR-283 arrived this morning. 11 days from when I put in the order. Not too shabby... however was abit dissapointed with the tracking process as it was initially DHL then got handed to Pos Laju and the trackign stopped there. Oh well.

So far pretty happy with the watch, I bought it on impulse cause i like the clean look and the price is negligible (RM1500~ that was before our Ringgit dropped like a rock these few days).

Initial look thru, i noticed a small scratch at the side of the watch, where there is a small gap between the case and the bezel. Now considering should I return the watch hehe...

Anyway will post some pic once i get home.

Not sure about Epos. But I got my last Oris for 30% discount from watatime (or was it watchshoppe). But those limited edition Oris is less... about 15~20% discount only was offered, i didnt haggle.

Need a better camera to zoom and the rigth lighting condition to get a pic of the scratch.. its not very obvious. Will post up pic tomorrow i reckon.. mornign sun and all

OH I need to ask some advice form the Gurus here.

Is it ok for chrono watches to leave the stopwatch indicator/needle at other place then the reset (12) position? Cause I find leaving everythign at reset position doesnt look nice for the watch, so for all my chronos, I tend to stop the stopwatch at various place and leave it there and not reset it. Would this be detrimental to the watch?

Wow... it looks huge on your wrist man. Anyway, is this the same Balmer that sells their watches on ebay for upto 90% off their list price?

updates :

Emailed UHR about the scratch on the watch and they offered a EUR50 voucher on my next purchase -.-

Oh and I growing to like the watch more... it looks quite elegant despite its cheap price

Thanks!

You got sharp eyes there,but its not the ori console.. cause the ori ones only goes upto 180KMH.. lame

What he means is the watch should be so reflective that you cant read anything but see yoru own face on it, ie you can use it to adjust your hair etc during dinner.

Anyway, the good thing about watches is... its beauty lies in the eye of the beholder

Not for me, I dont do gold.... even my wedding ring is like 90% plat and 10% gold just to be a little traditional.

Drop it off your brand's service centre. 30 minutes later its nice and sparkling again. Well that's my last experience with longines anyway.

You can always mod it and swap in blue hands ala IWC

You can join in discussion here even if you dont have a watch....

I think its known as inflation haha... at an estimated 6% per year for Msia... your watch collection need to increase in value significantly before you actually see any returns..

Um.... isnt it fairly obvious?!
