Anyone can recommend a good shop to get a Tag in Klang valley? I've heard shops can give up to 30% discount, how true is that?

Best discounts I've got so far - 26% @ Hang Tai Bangsar Village.

Unless your watch has a power reserve dial, you won't know.

To restart, you can manually wind it. Unscrew the crown and wind the crown around ~30 turns or so.

OR

Hold your watch and swirl it as if you were throwing a frisbee.... only don't actually throw it against the wall  laugh.gif

Set date and time accordingly.

is it like airing a glass of wine? not sure if its called airing doh.gif
but the way wine tasters swirl the wine in the wine glass, that kind of hand movement?

cos i never know what kind of arm movement mechanical watches will store more power

Yeah, similar to the original GMT with quickset date.

What I mean is that the red circled part in the pic is not perfectly finished but ya... just being anal and none of them are deal breakers.

Tomorrow going to another shop to see if its particular to that unit.
