At first I din know buying online was a viable option coz scared kena tipu by fakes and etc etc...
Then I stumble upon this thread...
Checked out some of the sites recommended here and found some really tempting offers that I juz can't say no.
I remembered when I bought my Hamilton Khaki Navy Frogman, there was another one that I liked which is the Khaki Navy GMT.
That time, the GMT was retailing at a higher price than the Frogman. So I chose the cheaper one and used it as a beater. Especially when doing rugged activities (paintball, island hopping, snorkelling, hiking and mountain climbing)
So, when I saw the exact same model now on clearance at Ashford.com selling at us490,
I juz couldn't say no.
I immediately sold my Frogman to a friend of mine for a good price and immediately ordered the Navy GMT...
All this while still waiting for my EP frm Zeetan...
tongue.gif
Fellow WIS will immediately relate to this.
When we see a good deal, the "need" and "want" question normally goes out the window.

My collection? Can't compare to the Seiko fans in Seiko thread.
Quote from somewhere,
"A collection of 4 exceptional watches is better than a collection of 10 mediocre ones."
Haha, easier say than done. Currently 3 Swiss, 1 German, 1 Chinese, 2 Japs. Can see some of it in MWF laugh.gif

But cost RM600++ with mechanical chrono, that's no brainer.

But it's kinda expensive at RM1.4-1.5k. I'm also afraid they might be out of stock. Do Seiko models get discontinued quickly or do they have a long run? This model has been out since 2008.

nothing wrong with fashion watch, as long as you like it, since you don't care about movement.

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.

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:

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).

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.

I think you are entitled to your opinion... cool2.gif

Also, its possible ppl only pawn their rolex cos its the most in demand watch (in some asian countries). Compared with any other watches, its value "depreciates" the least, much like what a mercedes is compared with other makes. I dont think the pawn shop will gv u as much if u pawn ur AP or Zenith.

I just bought frm Ashford last week... 15th Jan.
They ship by UPS and you can track by their website.
My shipment is due to arrive on the 24th Jan.
So it's like 9 days.... if it arrives on time.
Service is pretty good. Can do livechat if you have any enquiries.
If my 1st deal goes well... might be buying more.
Some deals are too good to ignore... hahaha rclxms.gif
Oh yeah, watches should be tax free. Unless u meet a kopi-o kastam fellow.

Hi watch experts and lovers,

Looking for an automatic chronograph

(Preferably in-house movements - might be stretching it though...)

Budget - most important criteria - bang-for-the-buck ~ up to US $ 600

Excluding Japanese brands like Seiko, Citizen etc if any.

What about Christopher Ward, Hamilton?
(I'm just guessing here) Any German, Russian (Poljot?), or Chinese (Seagull, Alpha?) brands? Any idea where to get these brands from a physical store in KL?

Appreciate any suggestions on brands and models as well as retailers nod.gif

I just bought frm Ashford last week... 15th Jan.
They ship by UPS and you can track by their website.
My shipment is due to arrive on the 24th Jan.
So it's like 9 days.... if it arrives on time.
Service is pretty good. Can do livechat if you have any enquiries.
If my 1st deal goes well... might be buying more.
Some deals are too good to ignore... hahaha  rclxms.gif
Oh yeah, watches should be tax free. Unless u meet a kopi-o kastam fellow.

Hi watch experts and lovers,

Looking for an automatic chronograph

(Preferably in-house movements - might be stretching it though...)

Budget - most important criteria - bang-for-the-buck ~ up to US $ 600

Excluding Japanese brands like Seiko, Citizen etc if any.

What about Christopher Ward, Hamilton?
(I'm just guessing here) Any German, Russian (Poljot?), or Chinese (Seagull, Alpha?) brands? Any idea where to get these brands from a physical store in KL?

Appreciate any suggestions on brands and models as well as retailers nod.gif
*
Automatic chrono with self movements, $6000 (~RM20k), off hands I can think of:-

- Omega Speedmaster Professional (Lemania under Swatch Group, so techinically can consider in-house)
- Tag Heuer Carrera Cal1887 (they claimed it as in-house)
- Zenith El Primero
- Ebel 1911 BTR

Christopher Ward, Hamilton no in-house movements, Poljot and Seagull yes, but unsure about the quality.

I think you are entitled to your opinion...  cool2.gif

Also, its possible ppl only pawn their rolex cos its the most in demand watch (in some asian countries). Compared with any other watches, its value "depreciates" the least, much like what a mercedes is compared with other makes. I dont think the pawn shop will gv u as much if u pawn ur AP or Zenith.
*
depending on Rolex - pawn shop also don't give U much esp its datejust or airking or explorer II white face.
if its Daytona different.
ppl are having alot of trouble selling the explorer II white face, U think pawn shop wanna give one good $$ on that?

Zenith resale value has been weak, but many ppl do get them for ~30-50% off retail. if pawn shop is basing it on typical AD discount, the percent getting from them can be still very good.
with AP, that really depends on what AP.

US$600 hard to find a Hamilton today on grey market.

try UHR.info, maybe CW since they are having a sale.

Nope, but on clearance is already usd490... original retail price when I saw it in Singapore was 1690 or sumthing like that before discount. That comes to around Ringgit 3.6k (that time exchange rate was 2.7 to 1) assuming I get a 20%discount. I paid 1500 sing dollar for my Frogman (yeah... another overpaid piece)...
So, this GMT for me is too good a deal to pass.
Especially with the rubber strap and 200m water resistance, juz perfect for my weekend paintball battle, snorkeling or mountain hiking.
Good deal IMHO coz when I bought my frogman, the GMT was a close 2nd choice.
I sold my frogman for a good price to a friend and immediately ordered the GMT with spare change!!!
Imagine that.

First of all, a big thanks to ck77 and patryn for pointing me to the right direction.
It was a new experience for me going thru a new channel getting this watch.
Without your guidance, I would be akin a sheep amidst a pack of wolves... nod.gif
It was considered my grail during my school days and I finally got to own a piece.

Here goes.

Big Box nicely packaged.
user posted image

Plenty of bubble wrap to protect the contents.

Still with the Nataf era box... which is nice and classy.
user posted image

With papers and all the works.
user posted image

Tadaa!!! Groovy baby!!! yeah!!! icon_idea.gif
user posted image

Nice and Detailed.
user posted image

Compulsory wrist shots.
Looks good with my super small wrists. My heart beats abit faster with this on my wrists.
That's the feeling when you know this is the piece for you. nod.gif
The seconds hand sweeps nicely, nicer than my Pontos... 36000bph's magic?
Chronograph functions are working nicely. Zeroes in perfectly.
user posted image

OK. Now when initial excitement died down.
I checked thru the watch to notice anything that doesn't belong or minor flaws anywhere.
Been looking and something catches my eyes.
user posted image
user posted image
user posted image

Now I must say that I am really disappointed with the bracelet clasp.
It looks and feels like a chinese made after market product.
I need to ask if some other owners of the same watch encounter the same problem?

I mean the clasp doesn't look solid, it's abit flimsy... absolutely not the kind of feel you will encounter when buying a swiss watch.
Even a seiko, tissot or victorinox watch with the same kind of deployment clasp is of better quality. When seen with the naked eye, it looks smooth and solid.
When using it, it feels sturdy and safe.
But in this case, it's like it's been spray painted with chrome but it missed the angled area. Feels flimsy when using it. It's hard to describe in words but I'm hoping the picture here can give you guys some idea of what I'm trying to say.
This is the same kind of flaw in the clasp of a watch that belong to a friend of mine which he claims is an AA+ replica of a Tag Heuer watch he bought in JB. doh.gif
Now I'm honestly worried. My heart is beating irregularly while I'm typing this.
I dunno what to think in this point of time. rclxub.gif
I'm posting this over at MWF as well and see some replies before doing anything.

chronocentric is very anti grey. ashford removing serial? I not have seen any recent reports on it. My serial is present.

www.timezone.com is recommended. I wouldn't go that far. www.timezone.com isn't approving the sellers there. Collectorstime do advertise their items on timezone.com

Time Of Switzerland is a sponsor for watchnet.com, watchnet.com is pretty reputable forum and they do get good reviews there.

wanna shop with grey there is always risk. ensure they have good return policy.

Thank you for all the suggestions.
Anyway, I have come to accept that the clasp is MEANT to be like that.
Pics that I have taken frm an online dealer show the same finishing for the EP HW line and the Chronomaster line.

EP HW.
user posted image

Chronomaster.
user posted image

What strikes me as abit odd is that the Chronomaster line is at least twice the price of the EP HW...
I wonder what will an owner of the Chronomaster feel when he checked the watch in detail... shakehead.gif doh.gif

Maybe the only way is to buy a brand new leather strap with a different styled clasp. That'll settle the problem. whistling.gif

For those who are interested with chinese movement.

It's called Parnis Portuguese Power Reserve Automatic. As you can see from the photo, you can probably guess which watch its trying to copy.

Chinese Seagull automatic movement. ST25 if I am not mistaken

The movement is very noisy I must say. But nevertheless, still enjoys it very much.

RXW MM20 or a MM25 uses a Swiss UNITAS 6497, Panerai of a similar model used the same movement but with modification.

price is around RM 268. Very cheap and for that price plus automatic movement, you just cannot complain. I recently acquired it in China. google "parnis" that's the brand. you will see a large homage collection.

Hi, i got a Longines from my father, it has the fish symbol at the back case. i know it tells the water resistant of the watch but how many bars? or just splash resistant?..just to make sure as i get it as a gift.

price is around RM 268. Very cheap and for that price plus automatic movement, you just cannot complain. I recently acquired it in China. google "parnis" that's the brand. you will see a large homage collection.

quite a lot of design they have. can i get it here in KL? or just available online?

most watches are applied with Superluminova, with enough lights charging (UV) it can glow. nice glow would depend on how well/even they are applied.

chrono watches come with lume for sure.
swiss chrono try

any watch with Tritium would glow for ~25yrs

Seiko Lume maybe better than Laco, Steinhart.
driver watches lume are typically better than dress or pilot watches

yeah I owned one for a few days now. so far so good. It does use seagull movement like patryn said but there are more choice in term of dial.
Again chinese watches the QC is a fit and miss. so all the best with it. I was lucky to get the good one.
For website you can go to what patryn has said and take a look. another option would be to go to www.taobao.com and use a taobao agent. there are a few agents in the forum. google around with it.

PS: if you are getting it. pay attention to the upcoming CNY. Might disturb your shipment.

Never realized there were 'taobao agents' around. Perhaps I should be one biggrin.gif

Do note however that an article once stated that over 80% of items sold on taobao are fake (although I doubt there are as many fake Seagulls as the 'Swiss' branded watches)..

All i got from the seller is a black box that is looked like that its made of leather. and the watch. the watch is wrapped with plastic protector and thats it.

I agree with ck77 that parnis is too cheap to replicate.

So far lurking on watchuseek forum about chinese movement watch there wasnt much concern about the authenticity. They are more worried about the quality because it is sort of hit and miss.

it does feel good in my hand. Not too light not too heavy. Just right. It does feel sturdy but i dont think it can take much beating. dont drop it from tenth floor or run it over with a car brows.gif but again its personal preference.

movement is very noisy though. you can hear the thing spin from 10-20cm away. some said its the ball bearing.

Leather definitely bad, thinking to change it but still have to wait, currently with CNY coming up there aren't much choice.

U can forget it, U are not getting any better deals than buying from them direct online.
middleman, they have operating cost and WE the consumers are paying for them!

remember photos taken for advertising is always misleading.
want the real facts get it on the watch forum with someone that actually own it.

U may wanna take a look at Epos chrono

diver watches are generally better.

laco, steinhart u had in mind are pilot watches. Seiko no pilot watches iirc.

didnt really go into each of the watches, the web shop's banner is having the word "second-hand"..

anyway dont you think it's too risky to buy second hand online just based on the description?

There is always risky while buying online.
The most important is buy the seller first.
I've dealt with them without any issue.

Sorry guys, I am not sure where to post this, so I thought this might be the closest place to ask.

Anyone know where I can get my D&G watch warrantied? The ticker is getting slower by almost 5 min every hour, suspect is electronic problem. Is there any place I can send it for warranty / service here in Malaysia or even Singapore?

This watch was a gift which was bought overseas, and it would be impossible for me to send it back to where it was bought...

Thanks guys for any assistance. notworthy.gif

Don't they give you a warranty card or some sort? and what kind of watch are you talking about? You should ask in the watch thread. they might have a clue there.

BR01-92 blue is LE of 500. not sure if U can find AD carrying them may have to do pre-own esp it is out in 2008
anyway it retails at US$4500 when it was released

current prices found online
eg
SGD$4100
http://18ksub.blogspot.com/2010/09/bell-ro...ed-edition.html

Roger Dubuis, all inhouse. I wouldn't get their watches if they are made in 2009 or earlier.
Their movements were plague with issues.
service maybe top notch, bring it in I bet they take good care of U at a premium too!

Laco and Steinhart do not use Tritium. they use Superluminova, pics on their lume is taken with 1st few minutes of darkness. after 1hr, U cannot see anything. Do return to your older post and read. Tritium or H3 only found in certain watches.

the pics in my post is to compare watches on tritium and Superluminova and Divers lume vs pilot watch lume. What is why I included swiss diver (Doxa).
U can see Laco lume is applied a little unevenly on second hands and numbers on the dial.

This table explains some numbers if U are sci person

I don't know the application for such lume that last for a short time. Divers don't read time that early when they are in waters. In the movies, I don't read time until the movie is going to end. By that time U do need external light source.

in about 45mins it will fade all away.
will U bring UV light around to get Lume?
its like Solar touch light, need light to keep torch going. think about does it make sense to U to keep UV light around to keep your lume going?

Erm guys, I had noob questions to ask.

1.) As I know adjust your watch between 11pm-1am will damage the watch, it that true ?

2.) Since we have 30/31 days/month, do we need to adjust the date/day manually ?

Thanks for the links. I've waited about 3 months for it, although it was quite a long period and it felt like ages but I would say it is worth the wait as the watch is very well built. Will upload some pics of the back soon.

3mths isn't that bad. I waited for my nomos for ~3mths too.
care to ans the buying process? VAT? shipping experience?
*
The buying process is quite easy actually, you just need to drop them an email to order the watch that you want and they will send you an confirmation email to confirm your order and inform you the anticipated waiting time. They will send you an email to ask for payment when the watch is ready, in my case it was 2 and a half months before receiving the notification. The watch will be shipped once the payment is received.

Regarding the VAT, Malaysian customers will be subject to the additional 19% charge unless one has the Fedex account. If you have a Fedex account, just inform stowa and give them your account number and they will charge you the price without VAT. Was informed by them that the VAT charge for Malaysia and Singapore are due to custom issues, so we will have to pay a higher price if we do not have a Fedex account.

For shipping, stowa is using the service from Fedex and I would say I'm very impressed with their service as it was really fast, totally out of my expectations, lol... I received my watch in less than 48th hours after i receive the delivery notification from Fedex, and though the anticipated delivery time is 4 days as shown on their website, but it just reaches me in 2 days. That was really fast in my opinion.

Overall it's quite an easy and smooth process, just that the waiting time is a bit long. A good experience anyway.

Regarding the lume of the watch, so only watches with Tritium or H3 will glow for long hours, the rest will just glow for 30min to an hour like that?

Anyone has a lum tec watch and mind to share your experience? All of their watches are using their own lum-tec mdv technology, which they claimed that it can glow bright and long hour, here is the link lumtec Just want to know how true it is?

Erm guys, I had noob questions to ask.

1.) As I know adjust your watch between 11pm-1am will damage the watch, it that true ?

2.) Since we have 30/31 days/month, do we need to adjust the date/day manually ?
*
this is only applicable for watches with dates. if the time on the watch is from 9pm to 3am (some watches actually engage the date gear earlier), then it is unwise to adjust the date of the watch. u can however wind the time of the watch forwards to beyond 3am on the watch. this will allow the date to transition naturally to the following day. after that, u may set the time and quick set the date accordingly.

thx CK for the replies.. btw.. while surfing for PAM homages i have also came across perrelet watches which is said to be the inventor for mechanical watches. Their lower end power reserve models are kinda affordable in Ebay. Anyone knows whats the selling price of the AD here or maybe any other grey sellers.. would love to have one if the price is good.

the historical person Perrelet is the inventer for auto movt.
the company claims they acquire the factory started by Perrelet. It is hard to trace the link, so some ppl call it BS.
in any case they make very good watches. They mod ETA movement and finish them.

this is a grey retailer, supposedly safe. I did not try it myself.

Hello all, I am in the process of buying a watch from ebay but would like to ask those who has made payment with paypal before.

1. The current currency of MYR to USD is 3.05400. Will paypal raise the rate higher or lower or depends on the bank of the credit card
that I will be using with my paypal?

2. Will there be a 2.5% charge for currency conversion by paypal as I read from their web?

Thanks for any insight!

Hey guys,

Gonna do some new year shopping in Singapore this weekend
Any place you can recommend to buy cheap decent and presentable watches?
Say around 250 - 400 SGD? Can get automatic for this price?

Or is it more advisable to buy in Malaysia? since i do not have time to wait for CW shipping before CNY

Want to shop for gift for relative's birthday biggrin.gif

You can check out skywatches, they have a shop at People's Park Complex, Chinatown called Watch Fashion I believe. Thye have big range of Seiko divers along with Citizen, Orient etc.

If you go Sim Lim Square, SuperChrono is worth checking out, although most of it is above $400. Also have Seiko divers there too and bunch of other brands.

If you go to Gnomon Watches, they have some German watches with Swiss automatic movements but those are slightly above your range. The Steinhart range has some nice ones at US$450+.

Thanks CK!
I like CW's but the ones that I like are all jsut above rm1k.
I like clean face with a see through case.
Which brand is similar to CW but cheaper?

Is CW as reliable and historically rich as Seiko's?

I think CW by far is one of the cheapest Swiss movement watch.
CW is a relatively young company and they do offer return service, so no issue.

How about Stuhrling watches?
Anyone sifu here has them?
They look very expensive but they are not.
I like the "skeleton" watch.
Not the usual type that I like which is a clean look but this is special.
Would you guys be impressed with that watch and say
"whoa" or "cheap cheap looking"?

And how about Kenneth Cole?
Or are they not really a famous watch maker?

Just got myself this Hamilton watch from Superchrono.

Website price on thursday : USD 330 inclusive of USD35 fedex international delivery

I email them asking will the price in shop be the same or equivalent, and they replied : feel free to visit our shop

Feeling :S, I asked again: Will it be cheaper or equivalent as I do not want to waste a trip there, they replied: It will be around USD330 equivalent.

Before I went to the shop today, I checked the website price and they have increased it to USD360

When I go in their shop they told me its USD380 and they decided to charge me S$518

After some argue on the pricing, they lowered to $500. Though it was a big gap from my budgeted USD330,a huge difference of about USD59!! but I did a trip specially down there to get this watch and I do not want to return empty handed. So I bought it.

My experience with the shop is :S You get what I meant. Feel like cheated but what to do.

Here's a picta!

To be honest, when I went to Superchrono to have a look around, the guy there was neither friendly nor helpful IMHO, so not too surprised at your experience there.

Btw, for anyone looking for nice leather straps, the Red Army outlet @ Tropicana City Mall has the range of Hirsch straps for sale.
Not as cheap as buying online at places like freda, but good for those who like to see before buying.

Hi all Sifu-s,

Im new to this forum, been reading all the posting on watches. Dreaming and working hard to get a Rolex Submariner.

Was at 1U over the weekend, bought this Louis Erard Heritage for RM2052.

http://www.montres-louiserard.ch/collectio...ele=342&type=1#

Im not sure if this link works fine. Can some sifu tell me how do I post some shots up here?

Im curious to know from the sifu-s here if this is a good buy, or I got ripped off.

thanks.

i did survey before buying my Tag (think i even PM'ed you). I wouldn't call Ball entry level, least the price isn't entry level.. Oris is more entry level in comparison to Ball.

I think the Oris TT1 is an awesome watch, but don't know why when it was on my wrist I just couldn't accept its odd unique shape. Their BC3 DLC would be a great entry level piece..against Ball's entry level piece..and if i'm not mistaken the Oris would be cheaper.

NOT MINE

many ppl think swiss quartz are build equal. No one really care who make swiss quartz.
Ronda seem to be popular and apparently there are ETA and ISA. Are they all build equal? anyone have insights into these?

ETAs are jeweled(functionally), don't drop coils too often(not
counting the ham fisted shop staff) and just generally a very well
built movement. Well.. within reason and size dependent (see below).
The Ronda/Harley stuff look and are cheap, generally 2 jewels, but
still not too bad. They do drop coils with more regularity, but tend
to not rust as badly as the ETAs when they get wet, as their hand set
parts are more exposed, not enclosed into a crevice like the ETA's. 

All in all, i'd say the ETA 955, 555, 255(maybe) etc.. modules will
outlast the average Ronda. However, anything below 8 lignes, do not
even bother with ETA. Get the Ronda or better yet, the Miyotas.




Oh... Happy Lunar New Year!

For the monster, do a search on eBay. Many sellers esp from SG offer it for auction, if you're lucky you may get one cheap.

I'm eyeing for the Engineer Master II world time, couldn't found any from local dealer. They have the diver world time but its too pricy.
what do you reckon? 820 pound sounds reasonable?

Yeah mate, 820 pounds with VAT. Seems like a good deal since I cant find any through local AD.
i'm confused with the forum, ball doesnt allowed internet purchase but jurawatch is their AD?? so is it safe or not safe i wonder.

Thanks Pat,

I was wondering, there seems to be quite a number of brands sporting poljot movements.
Moscow Classic, Buran, Aviator and etc... Is there any pros and cons?
Any definitive models I should be looking at? Distinctively Russian so to speak?
Poljot branded ones are hard to find...

Yo bro, actually you can get Ball watches here. There's several local AD selling them, I can't remember the name but there's one in 1U which I bought my Ball Storm Chaser from. There's another located at Mid Valley, Ground Floor beside the Jusco entrance carrying the Diver World Time. I too am considering that watch.

i did survey before buying my Tag (think i even PM'ed you). I wouldn't call Ball entry level, least the price isn't entry level.. Oris is more entry level in comparison to Ball.

I think the Oris TT1 is an awesome watch, but don't know why when it was on my wrist I just couldn't accept its odd unique shape. Their BC3 DLC would be a great entry level piece..against Ball's entry level piece..and if i'm not mistaken the Oris would be cheaper.

sorry but no. if they do prices are generally higher and they may have agreement with brand not to ship watches to the country.

nonetheless they have good return policy

6. Can I return an ordered watch

All our deliveries in Germany are subject to the Distance Selling Act. For that reason and because we are absolutely convinced about the quality of our watches you can return any watch within 4 weeks. After return and examination of the watch, you will immediately receive your money by transfer to the account given by you.

10. Is the warranty really valid for 5 years?

We are sure: Watches from UHR meets the highest quality demands. Already during the development as well as the manufacturing and assembly we place great value on high quality. Extensive test- and verification procedures ensure our high standards. That is why we can give a full 5 year warranty on all our watches. And that’s a promise.

the chrono uhr vs tissot Visodante.
of course a UHR Chrono!
UHR chrono is on ETA 7750 and Tissot is on ETA 2836

if u don't get in bulk
ETA 2836 movement cost ~US$140, its a family of 2824
ETA 7750 cost ~us$400

Tissot most likely using Elabore grade, 7750 no Standard grade so UHR must be using Elabore grade
chechk the specs

7750 is a chrono with day date whereas 2836 is workhorse with day date.
the others are laid down clearly on the table.
the cheapest Tissot equipped with a 7750 would have cost 2X the price of a UHR.

ETA 2836

Anybody here tried a china made tourbillion before? Any idea on the overall build quality?

true tourbillion?
depending which brand quality is good. pay peanuts get peanuts right?

esp those from seagull are expensive I suppose fit and finish is better. read around but some ppl said U can find the same movement in a US$600 watch, then U get others saying these are fakes. no expert on Chinese tourbillion read area
http://usseagull.com/EnProduct.asp?ClassID...itle=TOURBILLON

for fun joint this group - Millionsmart Tourbillon 1801 at ~us$400, I read cheap ones has QC issue some watches running 1-2 mins fast a day. thats really unacceptable.

Received a gift Seiko 5 automatic sport Militia automatic

need taiko's advise on setting up the dates & day as this is my very 1st automatic watch

i had tried setting up the day & date while 6pm-6.30pm, the date switch exactly after 12am but the day switched completely only after 3am

is this common ? i tried to google around for solution & found some saying its suppose to behave in such ways..

another question, how does the watch determine when to jump to 31st & when to skip directly to 1st on that particular month?

don't think there is a way to do it on your own.
bring to TAG and they can do it for an arm or an leg

try using ebay and see if you can buy just the bezel..and go to independent watchmakers to get it replaced..surely cheaper that way. considering its not a mechanical part..

wanna ask something regarding to leather strap.

When there is a genuine leather word stamp on the strap, does it mean the whole strap is full leather or only the back surface (intact to skin)
Thx

it not like he wear it became a hit, go read around.
Stallone did order a few to give to his friends and it become popular in Hollywood. in any case he is already 65, a few more yrs what he wear young ppl also don't care.
Richemont play a role in it today. just look at the brands it carry.
http://www.richemont.com/our-businesses.html

yr 2000 prices for the cheapest is retailing for us$2350 or ~RM7K+ that time Richemont already own it.
yr 2002 PAM 112 rrp is US$2800
yr 2003 PAM 112 rrp - US$3100
yr 2005 PAM 112 rrp - US$3650
yr 2008 PAM 112 rrp - US$4800
yr 2010 PAM 112 rrp - US$5100

I wonder how old are U when uncle told U 6k? pre 1995 prices I am sure it is ~US$1K or RM$2.5K (rate in 1995).
http://www.paneristi.com/reference/priceli...prices2000.html

huh? which brand price drop esp those rrp? early 1990s when Rolex is already popular a entry level airking isn't that costly too its rrp ~RM3.5K.
resale, Patek do buy their LE watches to keep prices up.

If the marketing strategy of that watch company is good, then we can expect a young watch manufacturer price will increase year on year. For example, Ball watch which become more and more expensive due to marketing. Currently, EPOS & Mido is increasing their price too.

ML not really that young. 1st inhouse movement in 2006
when you said young I am thinking Frederique Constant young (1988), with their 1st inhouse in 2004.

not see FC top of the line watches, ML does decorate their Masterpiece collection very nicely.

the cost of movement are always increasing.
even Stowa and CW are increasing their price let alone Epos and Mido.

with the swiss changing laws on what is really 'swiss made', U will find prices going higher.

Ball watches discount is very controlled when U getting thru AD.

4-5K budget only can get very basic ones.
something like this

I went Hour Glass at Gardens for OMEGA they're giving 10% discount but still negotiable.

Tag Heuer 20% using HSBC card and further negotiation she gave another 3%

What's the best rate you guys can get for this 2 brand? Any recommended store?

U'll not better rate for Omega PERIOD. Omega is nuts about controlling discounts and the kind of discounts has went from 30% in early 1990s to 12% last yr.

Tag Heuer u should get ~25%, if U know the sales person at times they can push it to 30%. wait for LVMH friends and family sale and they go for 50% off.

in any case I rather go for a Omega.

Richemont don't have that, but Frank Muller group often have huge sales going around thru AD with discounts as steep as 70%.
Rolex forget it!

50% off is always on slow, unpopular models. Not everyone comes out from the shop grabbing the 50% bargain. In watch, personal taste rules...

If you got a nice Oris at 30% for the missus and she likes it, i think its a good buy.

50% off is always on slow, unpopular models.  Not everyone comes out from the shop grabbing the 50% bargain.  In watch, personal taste rules...

no good way to clean.
only option is get a quality strap
get a Di-Modell strap with “AERO Lining” which is guaranteed sweat resistant and is 100m water resistant

Swatch group also have yr end sale going on. they carry many brands, so how much nicer? U want richemont and Frank Muller group to do that?
Richemont don't have that, but Frank Muller group often have huge sales going around thru AD with discounts as steep as 70%.
Rolex forget it!
someone did report going on those and getting longines for 50% off.

hence, that is what i meant when i said `slow and unpopular models'. if its popular, there shouldnt be problem of over estimation or need to get rid of them or even returns.

not saying watches with huge percentage of discounts are bad..i myself am always on look out for sales...but its good not to buy just because its discounted heavily and yet the heart has fallen in love with a particular model with lesser discount..

lower-mid range formula 1 watches arent really high tech but more of a concept/style. to watch lover, its usually about movement.

not a tech junkie when it comes to watches but i heard the T Touch from Tissot and all those huge Casio Trekkers are popular with those who like some technology in their watches

Very easy, not much different from local online purchase.
1. Saw what you like.
2. Email the seller.
3. If price and terms ok, then pay either by paypal, credit card, bank wire etc
4. Voila!

Further information, you can read their FAQ and Shipping and Handling.

with that budget, Seiko/Casio/Quartz Tissot should be okay. unless you friend is into designer watches..Fossil, Kenneth Cole, etc, etc... then not much difference, it a matter of style.

Hi guys,

First of all please allow me to praise this fantastic trade. I have never owned a watch in my life (and I'm 26!) and have recently got interested in buying a watch.

My first choice was a Victorinox but after reading and going through this thread with a magnifying glass (there might have been some selective reading but I enjoyed every word), I stumbled upon the Oris BC3 DLC.

I saw the price in Mid Valley and it costs about RM3.1k. I'm not sure if Oris is a good brand per-say but it looks like a watch that I want, simple and clean looking.

Like everyone, i want my moneys worth. So could you guys please advise if the Oris BC3 DLC or if Oris is a good brand for a watch?

Thanks so much in advance. Please if there is any way I can contribute to this thread (with my 1.5% of knowledge of watches!) please do tell me.

1st of all, welcome bro.
2nd, if you're still interested in a Victorinox, I have one for sale.
Just chk my sig.
3rd, if Oris is the one that sings to you, then I suggest you go for it.
But I for one find Oris lacking in the finishings department.
Their movements have little or no finishing at all, just painted red and mind you their prices are not exactly entry level.
But still, whatever that floats your boat.
My 1st swiss watch is a Tissot so thats what I would recommend. Prices are acceptable. But that's just my 2sen.
Happy hunting!!!

u must have fall in love with the PVD that is an in thing today. Oris is a decent entry level brand, running on swatch's group ETA workhorse.
similar movement different brand prices are indeed much lower, some may even do more than Oris decorating the movements and U pay a small fraction of money on it. we do pay for the marketing and advertising.
if you gone thru page 1 post 1 and click on the links and oris design still sings to U, I say go for it.
I fact the above Baume and Mercier (part of Cartier group) Men's Riviera Watch Model#: MOAO8779 is a great deal it is on a ETA 2892. Oris is based on the cheaper ETA 2834.

Am just wondering is there any watch box that will have periodic vibration or similar in nature that can maintain the movement of automatic watch if its not in use?

My dad has been complaining about the watch I gave him since he has to adjust the time whenever it has been idle for more than 1 day.

Hi guys,

First of all please allow me to praise this fantastic trade. I have never owned a watch in my life (and I'm 26!) and have recently got interested in buying a watch.

My first choice was a Victorinox but after reading and going through this thread with a magnifying glass (there might have been some selective reading but I enjoyed every word), I stumbled upon the Oris BC3 DLC.

I saw the price in Mid Valley and it costs about RM3.1k. I'm not sure if Oris is a good brand per-say but it looks like a watch that I want, simple and clean looking.

Like everyone, i want my moneys worth. So could you guys please advise if the Oris BC3 DLC or if Oris is a good brand for a watch?

Thanks so much in advance. Please if there is any way I can contribute to this thread (with my 1.5% of knowledge of watches!) please do tell me.

Wow, as expected, the feedback was brilliant and way beyond what I was hoping for.

Thanks guys and after much consideration, I've set my priorities on buying the Oris (despite the detailing which i kind of get a grasp. Oris has lazy designers!)

The lowest I got was RM3.1k. Sadly, I can't read Chinese but I saw the pricing to be NT21k which converted should be about 2.2k/2.3k. How much would shipping cost?

Hi,

First time post in this thread. Quite impressed with what i read so far with such good sharing of the information among members . Keep it up guys thumbup.gif

I am going to survey for my first swiss watch's purchase for my wedding hantaran (getting married soon blush.gif )

Budget not much.. Range of RM 900 - 1.3K only.

I narrowed down my choice to these brands :

a) Tissot

b) Victorinox

c) Certina

Any shop around Sunway, Subang or Shah Alam which I can get a good price ? Saw one watch shop inside Sogo at Jalan TAR that carried Certina last month but I seldom venture into that area

Thanks for your suggestion / recommendation !!

You must need brand new watches for hantaran right?
I remember my fren hantaran he gave a pair of watches, one men and one lady size so one pair...
You looking for a pair too?
I have seen pair watches frm Tissot that looks quite nice...
Certina and Victorinox abit on the sporty side bro.
My 1st is a Tissot and you'll nvr go wrong be it quartz or mechanical.
Just my 2sen.
Congratz on getting hitched BTW... welcome to the married n miserable club... shocking.gif doh.gif

Am just wondering is there any watch box that will have periodic vibration or similar in nature that can maintain the movement of automatic watch if its not in use?

My dad has been complaining about the watch I gave him since he has to adjust the time whenever it has been idle for more than 1 day.

I don't own this watch but I own a hamilton watch
37mm watch - U like smaller watch?
anyway, it is on a eta 2824 workhorse movement. no decoration.
Hamilton should be a elaborated grade, concern with accuracy below is a chart on page 1 post 1.

if U are paying RM2.4K thats pretty expensive. I can get a ETA 2824 same grade cheaper but not with a well marketed brand like Hamilton.

page 1 post 1 does show a few watches that is in this size.

sure brand is not as famous as hamilton. fortunately resale value most likely just as weak as Hamilton.
warranty on CW is 5yrs, Hamilton 2yrs. 60 days return policy on CW iirc ~3-5ppl here have this watch.

not hard of montblanc dishing out 50% off.

I know they do have private sales to those that X dollars a yr, discounts as high as 75% off. sales event usually in USA. I saw other post some Malaysian asking if they offer it in Asia no one replied.
