Oops my bad, not many good lume work done even in the states.
if u insist getting it done, and want it right. just replace dial.Else just live with it. doing it with some brick and motar shop most likely will not get u the results u want anyway.

Any idea how much it currently retails for in ADs? And the discount for it? Planet ocean has always been one of my favourite dive watches.

haha not to say a fan of TAG, they just look pleasant .

thats really not that easy. I found out here in this part of the world the weakening of the dollar it is not really accurate.
u should really use USD1 to RM3.75, today's rate is like USD1 to RM3.

last I read in SG its 8%, I believe its around there.

Brought my pretty old Seiko out for some wrist time.

they also cost alot for a Elabore grade mod 2824/2836. paying alot for marketing.

no marketing, unknown brand, great movement! Soprod A-10!
http://www.orangewatchcompany.com/milsub/index.php

does the movement type make a big difference in the watch's performance in terms of day to day use?

short ans yes.
say 2824 vs 2892, a 2892 generally has better accuracy performance, smaller deviation.

Any luck with the model name? What size is it anyway?

Steinhart's milsub homage more value no?




Imho, no... you wouldn't notice the difference if you're not a watch geek. Watches are more like a functional jewelry these days... 10% function, 90% emotional values.

so buy grey market if u want cheaper
depending which movement, the older one is just under rm10k with rubber strap.
the newer one is still around rm13k.

else again buy used, between rm7-9k+ depending which movement.

Nope; still no clue as to what model this might be... I haven't measured it yet, but it is small; I think between 37-39mm.

Spend so much already don't la not here not there... straightaway Caliber 8500 la. Rubber only useful if really used as a dive watch.... bracelet better for desk diving.

u tried it on before?
the PO 8500 is pretty big, with the bracelet it adds quite abit more weight to it.
PO 2500 is still kinda manageable with bracelet.

Like that not nice liao... 8500 got silicon mainspring wor.

Anyway, got smaller version also right? Read something about Daniels Craig insisting on the smaller one.. dun recall exactly where.

cos omega wanted to promote it rather than the SMP?
the smallest PO bond wears is a regular 42mm.
its not so much the width, but the thickness and added weight.
the 8500 PO is basically16mm thick, 2mm thicker than the older one...and u will feel and see it once its on ur wrist.
if i wanted one with 8500 movement, for sure it'll be the AT.

In the meantime... still lusting for the modern snowflake.

hmm i found a supplier here who sells glow in the dark RED paint.
but min is 1liter at rm435...zzz.

min is 1liter? that's quite alot considering you only need very tiny bit of it. also, are there any grades for these paints?

this one is suppose to be industrial grade.
green is RM235 / L...so they have just that and red in stock now.

Planning to get either a Tissot V8 T039.417.11.057.02 or Certina Podium Big Size Quartz C001.617.11.057.00...

Both also around the same price tag.. anyone using these?
