can rekomen me leather strap for the alphinist?
under anything lower than rm150

Hirsch strap?

Hi guys,

Any place in KL where I can buy Seiko 5 without being cut up like a waterfish?

Am I right to think that these watches have an average lifespan before it dies out? Say like 5 years or so.

Despite its entry level spec & price, Seiko 5 movement is quite robust. 10 years running without any servicing is a norm.

visit Mydin stores to get the idea of its average pricing.

And the extra bling the ceramic bezel gives

Although there has been some cases where the ceramic bezel shatters from small impact like dropping the watch waist height

Thanks! Is it the Mydin nearby Kotaraya?

I was previously using Hirsch Buffalo on my Alpinist.

Hirsch increased price quite a bit in recent years but I think you can get under RM200 on ebay.

It looks great imo but not as durable as the cordovan strap I'm using now

mydin usj is a popular place to get.

Thanks mate

that cordovan looks great, colour and stitching
urhm... where to get, ebay too?
thanks, mate


you too emechelmi

Ebay

ps: That picture is Hirsch Buffalo. The wristshot picture is Fluco Cordovan

No one navigate those from taobao? I remembered there were some decent strap sellers there.

Interesting, the lugs and ceramic bezel attached with screws

and ppl thought 6r15 in shogun was expensive already.
but pity the proprietary lugs... and i still dont understand why seiko cant make it 42mm or so.
plus it looks almost like some kinetic divers seiko has.
i guess only the most diehards of diehard seiko fans will get this.

noted.


if u can remember their taobao IDs, i'd get them.

You can check out Hirsch straps at Red Army Watches outlets.
They have one in One Utama.

Have to scan back the old thread which I kinda lazy

On the wrist today.

Nice watch. Terrible bracelet. Also, your time is wrong.

Agreed. Need to change the strap asap.

Time is wrong?
