Dent cannot be polished off. Light scratches maybe. You should check with the shop people where you bought your watch, they should be able to help.

Hey guys, not really a watch person but i really like them . I'm thinking of buying something automatic around rm3k ( willing to stretch abit if i really like it )
Will be using very often and would be my first proper watch .
Suggestions?

Got a 20mm pvd Zulu for 45.cheaper than most that I can find online.

Truth be told, I don't really care if I'm attended to when I first step in or not.
I always find it to be a major annoyance when I'm browsing through their selection and they insist on standing beside me and trying to make small talk.
But I also have a habit of putting my hands behind my back when browsing haha. They can only see the clasp

the thing is , its not they don't serve me , they treat me like im going to nick something from them eventhough EVERYTHING is in the glass box/ or i feel like it .
At the very least they do like they're annoyed with me .. very bad service .

On topic, what about victorinox watches?

In house simply means that it is self-developed.

e.g. ETA, part of the Swatch group makes the most movements. Technically, Swatch automatics and Longines automatics that uses ETA movements are using in house movements, as they are all in the same house (same family, same group - Swatch).

Tag Heuer that purchases ETA movements and put it in their watches would then not be an in-house movement.
Therefore, Orient and Seiko, both uses in-house movements. Likewise with Alba watches, which is a subsidiary of Seiko and uses Seiko movements.

sometimes there are some grey areas, examples such as Rolex purchasing the El Primero movement from Zenith to be placed in their Rolex Daytona. Although Rolex slowed the bph of the movement down and made extensive changes, it is still NOT considered an in-house movement.

however, Tag Heuer recently purchased a Seiko movement and made extensive changes, and they claim it is an in-house movement, which in my personal opinion is utter rubbish. That's like saying BMW bought Proton Campro engine, put on a turbocharger and made some changes and call it a German engine.

I love the Tag Heuer designs, but I think they are taking their customers for a ride.

beautiful man..what's the damage?

What if the watch is Mechanical type but need to rotate manually max can tahan 40 hours one time... is that will make the watch last longer? any pros and cons? Or should i just grab the one with automatic mechanical?

How about the thickness, the thicker the better?
Actually i am comparing the 2 watches below which almost around my budget.
Oris is very thin and need manual rotate while Maurice is auto.
Oris Artelier Small Second

Maurice Lacroix - Pontos Date

Is it so dangerous to wear a Rolex in town nowadays? I thought Malaysia is the 19th safest country in the world
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.

Stainless steel Rolex I don't find any problem.
Unless you are wearing 2 tones or gold rolex.

its dangerous if u don't take precaution.. avoid lonely/dark areas... take precautions and the risk of getting into an incident decreases..

to add on to be safer, don't wear a rolex, get an IWC  

There are many IWC fans in Malaysia..even non WIS people knows a IWC. I have a soft spot for the IWC brand...but funnily...I have yet to acquire any..came close so many times. They have some great watches...IMHO the Pilot range and the Portugese range is simply in a league of its own.Only problem is they are expensive and dont have a strong pre-owned market unlike Rolex. Their new watches tends to be oversized which I cant wear. The Big Ingenuir is such a great looking watch but at 46mm its just too big. However, the Portuguese range is just right...the 5004, 7 days Auto is the "dress" watch as far I am concern and hopefully will be my next watch...

But...you run the risk of buying an "unknown" watch. It could be stolen..?

IMHO..get a receipt for the peace of mind. At least anything goes wrong..you can always show that you bought it from the shop.
