Any recommendations on a round leather watch? Nothing too expensive. Maybe below rm500 and if possible with roman numerals ? tongue.gif


Added on February 20, 2012, 11:45 pmOr maybe a pilot watch ? biggrin.gif

Hi.. Im new here. So recently I went through some of my dad's stuff and saw a Tag Heuer LINK with chrono. May I know whats the current value of it?

And is there anyway to get rid of minor scratches on the metal? And does it run on the same battery like any other watches? Im sorry hah Its my first time encoutering with such an expensive watch. Thanks!

picture of it would be helpful..

Otherwise, does the second hands jump or sweep? If its sweeping then its a auto..if it jumps then its a quartz.

Usually quartz dont retain value well...

In respect of the scratches, you can polish it off by sending it to a watch repairman

rado auto? just replace the movement. the shop should be able to tell U the movement number. The cost is still many times cheaper than getting it new.

bring it to Tag and get a quote.
if the oil is dried and U wind maybe can cause damage.
if drop and parts moved and hands not moving, still not that costly. just send in to get a quote.
else getting a 7750 to replace since Tag is using a 7750 anyway.

looks like they all priced ~US$20K+, sure worth the money. Have to chance to touch 1 b4. It is a great watch.

BTW, quick question, I never really seen a fake rolex - tag before. Not those rm40 - 50 ones, those fakes that cost rm300-500.. They say the quality is quite good and comparable to japan made watches. Is that true? If yes then its hard to notice d..

If you are a watch enthusiast, its quite easy for you to notice.

Authentic Tags and fake ones can be differentiated..

I went around and did a little research and the so called AAA rolexes has something called swiss grade 1 ETA. Damn.. is there anyway a amateur can spot the AAA rolex without opening the casing?

My theory is simple, If i can't afford a authentic Rollie, I wont even buy it.

What's the point of buying grade AAA Rollie and pretend that it's ori?

Some AAA ones can be very close to the real model, but so far, my community of people have yet to start buying AAA Rollie or Tags la..

Can't really answer you on that one.

Maybe an Enthusiast can differentiate and a noobie/amateur can't.

Very well said.. haha. Idk why but I kinda tangan gatal want to play around with a fake.. maybe i will join your big boy's circle in the future.. hah

Quick question. Cheapest place to get a NATO/ZULU strap? Saw a superb seller online but was wondering maybe I can get it outside at a cheaper price with installation included. Thanks!
