I just sent my old Sportura for service and replace some of the "wabi-ed" parts.

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+  laugh.gif

Finally decided to do something about the scratched parts huh?
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.

Yeah, was another impulse thing. Recently tempted by gmt/worldtime so I wore the Sportura and remembered your post from a while ago laugh.gif

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.

F1s are pretty sporty watches... the expensive thing is the bracelet as its semi ceramic sweat.gif
for that price, i'd personally go for automatic... do check out WAP2011/WAP2010 and WAN2110... similar price but auto brows.gif

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 ?

Ceramic bracelet, once scratch cannot be polished, those watches are the aquaracer range, and WAN2110 looks like a Rolex Submariner brows.gif brows.gif

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 shocking.gif

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 doh.gif

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..
