if not mistaken, gold blitz is under great time.
i once ordered a protrek from great time sungei wang, no stock so they had the stock transferred from pertama, and i then collected it at subang empire at their tissot boutique since easier for me to go there next day instead of back to sungei wang.
*
That Tissot booth at Empire also under Great Time?

hey... like that i might as well ask them to do the same... i went all the way to Pertama just now and the blardy sales lady took out the uuurrrgghhh BGD140-1B and told me this is the one they have stock, not the 1A vmad.gif

by the way... need some pro advice, if a model is RM395 from say G-factory, what kind of discounts can i expect from such shops?
i don't want to slash too low laugh.gif

Another seller selling for $250
Trusted & responsible seller? Anyone can vouch?

I just endure such emotional distress, buying from 1 rude, irresponsible, full of lies seller. Don't want to experience the same thing again doh.gif

Dabrands has quite good reputation all over the net.

Not a very good morning just now. I accidentally knocked my watch against the railings which caused a small mark/scratch on the metal body. Are there products to remove the scratch or make it less visible? Or should I send it to the service centre and if so how, normally how much will it cost?

Thanks guys

If it's brushed finish, you can use the green part of a sponge and rub it in one direction.

If it's polished finish, buy some polishing cloth.

Anyway since you guys were talking about accuracy, have you guys heard about Bulova's UHF Movement?

"Well your standard mechanical watch operates at between about 3-5Hz - which is good for accuracy of just a few seconds a day.
Your standard electronic quartz movement operates at 32,728 Hz (32.728 KHz) which offers accuracy of a few seconds per month.
The Bulova UHF quartz movements operate at 262 KHz, which offers accuracy of a few seconds per yer."

Brushed is with dull finishing.
Polished if you can see youself in the reflection.

Was in Nu Sentral so decided to check out G-Factory, nicely they playing video of the wave ceptor with that who GPS tuned, etc etc..

I asked the guy if it works in Malaysia because I know it doesn't, and he confirms that. So why advertise something that doesn't work here? He just smiled sheepishly..

well, logically if they were not under great time, then a transfer is not possible right? tongue.gif
and u do know u have to pay first to have it transferred, means u still need to go pertama or sungei wang again.
15-20% is standard.

well yeah tongue.gif

as long as there's stock, i can make another trip... and surprisingly, i last used KTM 10 years ago... and walah, today, the train is still delayed rclxms.gif rclxms.gif
the difference is there are lady coaches which i entered and feel awkward cos i was the only batang there doh.gif
once i realized, i quickly made way to the other carriage sweat.gif

hmm.. meaning lelong might not necessarily be cheaper than shops after discount...
let them call me again next week when the stock arrives, i'll sharpen my parang this weekend brows.gif

thanks a lot for the info bro notworthy.gif

No loss though because got the item and my office mate already want to buy it, but definitely will keep bumping my dispute thread as awareness campaign icon_idea.gif
Can see quite few people decided not to buy from him as a result from my thread in dispute corner and /k/ biggrin.gif

Ok no more talking about him after this icon_rolleyes.gif

strange... didn't notice another shop with the same name on ground floor, i know they have 2 shops on the the first floor side by side just in front of the escalator...

maybe i'll check it out when they call me next week, go parang the shop below first then parang the one upstairs laugh.gif

can nego one bro, but you have to show you've done your homework, else she'll just use their retail price and discount... deng... they labeled the GD350 RM699, after discount gave me RM550... i told her, City Chain RM504... then she made it RM500 doh.gif

The one I aim (forgot model no) was priced at 7++. She gave me RM650 IINM. Then when I walked out, she straight away gave RM500!! Still RM70 more expensive than Pusat Jam Pertama, which I guess easily the lowest price there. But unfortunately different color.

got 1 more shop, the two in front of the escalator are watch + optic shop. after the escalater u turn to your left, go straight and downstairs. at the right side just after the stair another blitz watch shop thumbup.gif
