QUOTE(fluffy6640 @ Nov 21 2011, 12:04 PM) im not 100% sure if they have replacement sapphire glass for mineral crystal watches, normally they shud have replacements for those models that come standard with sapphire. you can try to ask shops where they carry replacement sapphire glass, which may fit the size of your watch? Hey thanks so much for this info! Good day.

A ETA 2892 cost around US$200, sopord mod to 9035 i would imagine cost more. 2 watches at rm$3k hmmm. I cannot find 9035 movement only online, if its true swiss that a great deal.

Original strap is very expensive... no matter what brands... for Jaeger LeCoultre i bought extra 1 for my wife, 1 for myself, cost RM1.1k each for your reference. Cause for JLC squadra have different design... Just found 1 website can place order for custom made, so from now all my straps i will order online, it's made to order. Can choose materials, colors, length, size and style. Just order 1 strap from there to use it on my new purchased. (original strap too long for my small wrist)

Apparently this is due to the fact that although watches are tax free in Malaysia, watch parts are not. I believe bracelets fall under that category too hence the high price.

Thanks .  all AD are reliable. silverstan paid 1.1k, prices are up. u might as well get non original ones. quality maybe just as good. brands such as Chatelet, HIRSCH, Di-Modell are very good too. http://www.watchstyle.com/http://www.fredawatchstraps.comDi Modell has a patented “AERO Lining” is guaranteed sweat resistant with a porous inner lining and a humidity layer. Longer lasting. This post has been edited by patryn33: Nov 24 2011, 08:15 PM
