You can try searching from etsy as well, I bought a horween chromexcel before, too bad that online store closed for a break and never reopened
*
How was the chromexcel? I got one from Lakehouse Leathers for around RM40 but I haven't warmed to it yet.

Between these four, what would you choose and why?

Orient Ray II

Orient Mako II

Steinhart OCEAN One VINTAGE Red

Steinhart OCEAN 1 (Black)

By direct comparison, the Steinhart is very much better than the Orient (spec wise, one has sapphire and one does not. And the ETA movement is superior compared to the F6922 BUT the Orient movement is in house! Extra point for that! Not to mention that Seiko kinda owns about 52% of Orient so.....). But look wise, Orient is much better for me. Yes I am a little biased towards the Japanese, but venturing into other country is nice too.

TLDR; poor man's "submariner homage"
*
Steinhart is one of the most uninspired copy I've ever seen. I have no doubt on their quality, but it might as well been a Rolex fake.

eh so cheap? blink.gif

the one i have is double layered and yet soft and supple despite thickness being 4mm, smells darn good and its not as shiny as the Horween horse butt cheeks... forgot what was the name already doh.gif

the only complain i have is the design because the strap maker couldn't taper the straps and putting thick un-tapered straps on a dress watch doesn't blend very well

oh... i tried ordering some straps from cheapest nato straps... they didn't have the natos i wanted thus replaced with some leather, they're quite stiff, similar to the stock straps from Orient doh.gif
*
Clearance sale coz he was moving to another state. I don't have good impressions on cheapestnato, it is what the name says, it's cheap but quality wise was really meh.

If you want leather nato's, check out Nato Strap Co, they have some going on at USD5.

it doesn't have the normal nice leather smell you get from leather... it smells like PVC but feels like leather laugh.gif

yeah, the strap is a bit thick AND my watch has a short lug to lug measurement... never again will i have any intention to change straps for my Aquaracer...

and since the straps are 20mm, i don't have anything with that lug width... then a dumb idea popped out to get a watch with 20mm lug width, maybe an SKX013 doh.gif
i should stop thinking about all these bangwall.gif

Most of my watches are 20mm lug width.. brows.gif

Rolex is still around 5% when I casually inquired few months back, not sure if it's negotiable.

Tada!!! My latest watch..Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch. Hesalite & leather strap version. It looks much better in real life compared to pictures. Take note that the watch appear much smaller than 42mm spec when worn.
This is my 3rd chronograph. 3 different brands, heritage & stories to tell.

anyone here bought from Jomashop.com? Can share your experience?

- was there any excise duty needed to be paid when shipped to Malaysia?
- shipping no issue?
- Charges ok?

Thinking of buying a Tag Heuer from Jomashop but would like to get some feedback from fellow forumers here.
*
Shipping no issues, charges ok..

GST applies, so see your luck if you kena or don't kena when it arrives at kastam.

Issue with Joma is more likely the time is might take to ship (they have been known to list something they do not currently have in stock) and actual condition of items (returning it will be a big hassle).

Heard Watchshoppe offering up to 25% for selected models?

But price hike is coming in September according to people.

Not that I follow Tag anymore. If you can get the model number, maybe I can drop a text to someone working at there to get you the price after discount.
*
My watch guy just confirmed Tag is indeed raising prices effective 1st Sept..

I can hook anyone up with my guy, but I have no idea if the price will be better coz I don't follow Tag.

Hmm, not sure if this qualifies as a Malaysian local brand, but it looks absolutely stunning. Saw it, went the the website, all sold out. Heck man...

https://ming.watch/

The blue is absolutely stunning.
