just like 90% of the people who wear aviator watches cant fly a plane for nuts, or 90% who wear military inspired watches have never been to war.
to each their own.

u can be a hip hop star

i boycott 1U watchshoppe...extremely bad service from a couple of them working there.
in 1U i rather go to watatime.

actually i wouldnt call it extremely bad service...more like non-existent service.

take away the tachymeter...and you get a hamilton ventura

try watatime in 1u.

the other day i was in some shop, and the only thing breitling that came up from a convo between 2 guys and a sales assistant was - john travolta

i wouldnt be surprised if most swiss brands outsource, as they only need to be 51% swiss to have the swiss made label.
that said, oris quality is pretty decent anyway.

that may be a problem with oris
their cases are actually pretty nice, you can go hold one and see for urself.
but once u do hold one, u can also see some models especially the divers, have their own lug design which means u need customised straps.
go surf forums like watchuseek and the oris divers are the ones that ppl usually buy anyway...most dont bother about changing straps anyway since the ones that come with it are also good enough.

if follow that stupid triangle, then somewhere between middle end and high middle...but more towards middle end.

i think that one using eta movement right?
price of ML has gone up alot...i think even with 30% off also it still costs more after discount compared to the price a couple months ago.

no longer available doesnt mean cannot find still.
one utama itself couple of shops still carry them.

couple ppl here bought that same ML few months ago IIRC for RM4.5k.
if RM7500 now, 30% off is RM5250...maybe if u try ask for 40% off

blame it on this guy

the sifu says must change the bezel? its not cracked or anything right?
u should try to pry the bezel away and see if anything is missing or worn out.
the click can be caused by anything from some wire to some spring loaded thingie with a sphere on it...
who knows hes trying to cheat u since a ori bezel is not cheap...plus i didnt know still can get stock for a mid-90s tag.

im guessing he didnt pry open the bezel to look under, and just simply said it needed changing?
so maybe u need to ask someone else

just now i looked at some RM10-15 ultra cheap watches, kinda amazed that the second hand hits the minute markers perfectly...unlike others that cost 10-100 times as much

ppl who wear pam have napolean complexes.
ok, time to hide from the flames

analogy to size, and not to price.
else can bring up PP, AP etc.
