hi guys, been a long time since i've last visited smile.gif anyway just wanna enquire all the sifus here where can i actually get my watch polished? im wearing a 2010 omega seamaster and im not much of a 'careful' person lol. my bracelet is all scratched up and a dent on my crown -.- i've asked a shop in penang and they are charging me RM60. i think its too cheap to be true and im scared that they might change my internal parts? anyone mind to share their experience in polishing? and do OMEGA outlets provide this service? (doubt it will be cheap though)

question guys, ive passed down my seamaster 300m to my bro and he complained that the watch would stop moving if he left it idle for like less than a day maybe, 20 hours? how could this happen as i tried to wind the watch for 20 times and tried again and it did stop again within less than a day and the power reserve is supposed to be at 48. the watch is only less than 3 years old. what could be wrong?

ive never had a watch above rm1k.

but now grownup...i think every grownup should have one.

budget below rm5k.

any suggestions? Seiko good value?

depends on what you dig. below 5k you can hardly get any 'good' brands. to name a few, mido, oris, ball and tag.

....called her up. Dafuqq she actually bought from my uncle for rm13k. LOL. Tried to tell me that new and from HK... Ok I'm not gonna sulk.. Birthday present anyway. More pics after I get home. Anyway who interested in buying 300M seamaster? I don't collect so not gonna wear it anymore.

Haha without posting here I'd definitely believe blindly that it's a new one cause it's well kept even with the green thing behind.

.... sweat.gif

anyway, i called up my unker and he was like, ehhh i thought your mum said don't tell you. lols. anyway, im not complaining or what. am happy with it because submariner was my dream years ago. furthermore it looks new lol. no wonder mum din't give me the papers la......... date is there haha dayumnn. met her just now and she was like *awkward* rclxms.gif

by the way, who knows how much does it cost to send 300m seamaster for polishing, as in send to the original retailer. will they send all the way to switz? might want to polish it before selling it off. maybe can push up the $. its around 2 years and still with warranty i think but i hardly take care of the buckle.

i have checked with Omega saleswoman , and she said the cost of renew/extending the warranty are within 2k plus ...for me , it is better to extend the warranty and cheaper than Breitling ...IMHO

anyway ..UGPM

The watch is mine by the way  blush.gif
You can change to nato as shown in my picture.
Some people change to leather strap as well, you can google to see more pictures.
Does your Sub Date has lug holes? It would be much easier for you for changing straps.

whats a lughole? notworthy.gif sorry, rolex noob here.
