QUOTE(sniper on the roof @ Oct 28 2013, 10:55 AM) I just sent my old Sportura for service and replace some of the "wabi-ed" parts. Finally decided to do something about the scratched parts huh? Seiko Taiwan wanted ~RM180 for a pvd'ed fixed bezel and if I were to opt for a case change... ~RM800 If I order NOS complete watch online from Singapore... it's just RM900+ Nothing beats the feeling of owning a shiny immaculate looking watch. Anyway the price is about the same for a case replacement here. I wish I could change my SKJ006 bezel, unfortunately its discontinued and no longer available. |

Recently tempted by gmt/worldtime so I wore the Sportura and remembered your post from a while ago Nothing beats the feeling of owning a shiny immaculate looking watch. Anyway the price is about the same for a case replacement here. I wish I could change my SKJ006 bezel, unfortunately its discontinued and no longer available. My watchguy is sourcing for the pushers but in any case, I'll just be doing a standard service, replacing the bezel (hopefully the pushers too). Will skip the polish or case change. Maintain the character |

QUOTE(kenji1903 @ Oct 28 2013, 11:36 AM) F1s are pretty sporty watches... the expensive thing is the bracelet as its semi ceramic Thanks for the suggestions though are those tag models that you had recommended above ? And whats wrong with the semi-ceramic bracelet ? Does it crack easily ?for that price, i'd personally go for automatic... do check out WAP2011/WAP2010 and WAN2110... similar price but auto |

QUOTE(claxtonchm @ Oct 28 2013, 10:17 PM) Aquaracer Quartz Chrono. That was my first Swiss. Still under warranty but seems like the service centre unable to troubleshoot and fix the problem. actually i have doubts on the local Tag service center... i brought my wife's Aquaracer quartz for a battery change last month... i waited more than an hour there and there were about 4-5 customers servicing their watches not sure what model they have but all of them are asked to change the crown... if they don't, the girl on the counter said then there's no water proofing warranty for the watch anymore this is why i think this service center might not have professional watchmakers... maybe you can try singapore... i planned to do that for my watch's service in future... don't seem to trust the local one |

May I know how much did the Tag service center charged you for changing the crown and normal maintenance? I am about to send in my Formula 1 Quartz for the first time in 10 years..i waited more than an hour there and there were about 4-5 customers servicing their watches not sure what model they have but all of them are asked to change the crown... if they don't, the girl on the counter said then there's no water proofing warranty for the watch anymore this is why i think this service center might not have professional watchmakers... maybe you can try singapore... i planned to do that for my watch's service in future... don't seem to trust the local one |
