Come on, you'll only be fueling the replica industry by buying fakes. If you can't afford a Rolex, why buy a fake when you can get an homage for a little more money (but still 20x cheaper than the original).
*
There are actually some who buy replica to stuff that they have. So they can wear it for mamak session and keep the real on at home.

I dont bother, i reckon wearing a rolex with nato strap is pretty safe for mamak session... most thinks its just a seiko tongue.gif

Is it so dangerous to wear a Rolex in town nowadays? I thought Malaysia is the 19th safest country in the world biggrin.gif
Sorry for my ignorance cos I don't own one and have not been spending much time in KL for much of the past 2 years.
*
Depends on who's stats u are lookign at... Malaysian published stats seems ot put our country in the top 10 list for everything. Other listing is not so favourable, but our Govt say its bias and should be ignored whistling.gif

Anyway, I dont wanna risk having my hand chopped off for a stupid watch. Or a knife to the gut...

Hi all,

I've got a question on delivery service via EMS to M'sia.
Does delivery by this service get stuck at customs office or direct to shipping address in M'sia?
Coz...I've read that some other recipients do receive their parcel directly from shipper via EMS.

What are the criterias for getting held at the customs office? Is it weight? Country source?
Sorry for being so noob. Hope fellow forumers can enlighten me. Thanks.

For watches? You wont, cause there is no applicable import tax for watches in malaysia.

Can't imagine wearing a watch with leather strap in Malaysia, the sweat will probably kill the strap in less than a year.

Well.. if its airconditioned house > airconditioned car > airconditioned office... and back again.... should be fine nod.gif

yea, locally, rm3.2k+.
that seiko ventura looks interesting, but got no confidence in the kinetic movement after reading so many issues of the capacitor dying.
*
ya... I have a dead kinetic as I'm not keen to spend 250+ to get a new cap... the watch was only 600+ when I bought it doh.gif

The red hand is the 2nd time zone. If you don't need a 2nd time zone, you can set it to the same as the main hour hand, turning it into a AM/PM indicator.
*
Good idea! didnt think of that...

although it would be kinda redundant seeing AM/PM's gonna be pretty easy to differentiate by looking out the window... but good idea nontheless! nod.gif

you mean you cant tell when it is night or day? well i suppose if you are in a bunker with no windows and you got knock out cold for the last 24 hours, you might be needing a am/pm indicator

In that situation.... AM/PM would be the least of your concern sweat.gif

There is another use for the day/night indicator - for setting the date on a mechanical watch. The rule of thumb is not to change the date when the time is between 10pm - 2am, or it may damage the gears in the movement.
*
Most of the time I noticed I dont even bother to change the date.... cause I will wear it for a day... then mostly like move on to the next watch... hence too lazy to change the date..

All ADs are pretty much identical if you ask me. Discounts should be the same too.

I would personally avoid Hour Glass in Gardens though - I had very bad customer service experience there previously.
Watatime in MV (opposite Body Shop) is more hospitable, but their range is also smaller.

I've been to the boutiques in Pavilion and KLCC, I find that they carry a good range and are also more approachable.
*
Yes... Hour Glass branch there is more hidung tinggi.... outlook plays a part with them unless u are a regular..

While Watatime is more casual and I find the SA there are more friendly/helpful

I'm looking to buy a G-Shock and a Baby-G for the wife, kinda scoped out a few models, now just wondering where would be a good place to look for them. Any particular shops in Klang Valley area with better/bigger selections?
