QUOTE(pisces88 @ Oct 18 2013, 01:32 AM) 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. |

QUOTE(sniper on the roof @ Oct 17 2013, 04:09 PM) Unless your watch has a power reserve dial, you won't know. is it like airing a glass of wine? not sure if its called airing 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  Set date and time accordingly.  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 |

QUOTE(sniper on the roof @ Oct 18 2013, 03:07 PM) Yeah, similar to the original GMT with quickset date. from what i've seen, almost all the orient stars use the same clasp, and the one on mine has no defect.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. [attachmentid=3680651] |
