QUOTE(Victor3010 @ Oct 29 2013, 09:52 AM) 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.. my wife's one was ok, just normal battery change and maintenance, RM120 15mins for initial checkup and 1 hour for the battery change as they do pressure test and also clean the watch for you i think those older watches are more durable... |

QUOTE(kenji1903 @ Oct 29 2013, 07:35 AM) 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 A battery change in sg cost ~sgd$30-50 A overhaul to clean etc cost sgd$100-200 more |

QUOTE(kenji1903 @ Oct 28 2013, 06:43 PM) yup, all Tags... Among the models hat you had listed in your message above, only wan2110 had caught my attention and it looks more like a rolex sub( thats priced around 23k), right ?nothing's wrong, its just more expensive  there's a similar F1 model with SS metal bracelet, kinda wide price gap... crack not sure but its doesn't scratch easily Though any idea whats the retail price ? I wouldnt spend 20k on a watch at the moment lol. Btw, i was talking to a few friends regarding watches and they had advised me to stay away from Tag due to some crown problem. Is it true that mostly all Tag's face this issue ? |

Is it true that mostly all Tag's face this issue ? WAN2110 is selling at AD for RM6.8k, discount wise, read a few pages back, depends on your nego skills i read about the crown issues in WUS more on the WAK and WAJ series (500m), so far the WAP/WAN seems ok... all of them are using the same movement... |

Have a look at the Oris Aquis if you like the more burly look or the Longines Hydroconquest if you like more shiny stuff. This post has been edited by sniper on the roof: Oct 29 2013, 04:13 PM |
