hi guys, need ur expert opinion,

I have been offerred a Troika Chrono quartz watch used. It looks nice, stainless steel, chrono function with 1/10th of sec dial.

the thing is I have never heard of Troika. Markings only say Troika Germany.

Anyone knows about Troika Watches? Uncle Google didn't help much but found a johore guy selling it off here : TROIKA

I agree. But for me having 2 Auto's is max I think. then can use alternately.

BTW, so no one has heard of Troika eh? guess its too cheap to talk about huhu... I thought it would have been a good Beater watch.

ingersoll price is around 800~2000 come with nice design...
at this price u would expect a mineral glass and a chinese movement..
imo .. i dun like the "design in germany" as german watches are not known with such design...and its no longer a america brand since it has been acquired by the chinese

Speaking of german watches, any thoughts on "Junkers" watches? They are designed in Germany but use Swiss Movements.

just got my semi grail...comes originally with the rubber strap..

looking for some opinion on how to give it a more casual look which would work with even tee shirt/jeans..what's your thought on this rivet-ed strap?does it run very off with this little pilot-ish hint?

I think the rivet-ed strap looks fine smile.gif

Hihi guys, after wearing my watch for quite sometimes, the leather strap begin to erm...deteriorate.....and now im planning to change the strap...any place in Kuala Lumpur can I do that and with a price that is not too expensive??

Thanks

Leather... no matter how genuine will deteriorate because of our high humidity in Malaysia. If its the buckle type then the strap will be damaged faster. Best to use deployment clasps if you wish to use leather straps. I noticed that leather straps with clasps seem to last longer.

Why dont you try a silicone leather look alike strap. its more durable and odor free.

I'll drop you a PM incase u r interested.
