QUOTE(friedricetheman @ Nov 30 2016, 09:40 PM) Any idea where's the service center for Nomos in Malaysia? They are using in-house movement so it may need to be sent back to a Nomos Service center for overhauls. Don't have to, it's just servicing and oiling If replace parts yes needs to go back to Germany Even for me I have a service center here in states, it's just a contacted watchmaker. His skill not great, end up shipping to germany |

QUOTE(friedricetheman @ Dec 2 2016, 12:30 PM) I don't trust in-house movements in the hands of third party watchmakers. The chances of them messing up on it is much higher than an ETA or Selita. If you cannot find anyone you trust too bad.That's the main problem with Nomos. They do not have a service center in Malaysia. Makes it difficult and probably expensive to get it repaired. Lucky my 3rd party watchmaker I trust, he is authorized Rolex service guy and is willing to do all Swiss job. Now that I move, my local service place is a authorized service center for many place and they take jobs but no experience with them. Need to test with my JLC lol |

QUOTE(Everdying @ Dec 7 2016, 10:27 AM) thats why la, over-pay for swiss sapphire somemore Orient star skeleton for 3k good deal locally, jp or sg prices all higher up anyway, used to be able to get rm3k++ for swiss skeleton from the likes of hamilton, epos...and i think tissot. but with currency nowadays, probably almost rm5k already. now rm3k++ with sapphire that range occupied by the japanese...like the orient star.  but u can get plenty of open heart models for way under rm2k... http://www.skywatches.com.sg/reviews/orien...ch-dx00001w.htm https://www.amazon.co.jp/オリエント-OR...W/dp/B00ME9F1MC |

QUOTE(icecreamcake @ Dec 8 2016, 11:03 PM) Quartz or mechanical will fine. If you look thru Seiko, orient you know style.. diver? Dress? Case size? With these info you can narrow down search. When u browse sites like the below, what's your filtering criteria As long as not Chinese. Leather strap. Preferable Seiko, Tissot or Orient. Not sure still got any other brand at this range. http://www.ashford.com/us/home;jsessionid=...equestid=844845 |

QUOTE(silverwave @ Dec 23 2016, 11:59 PM) Hello guys, i was thinking of getting a dress watch and i saw some discounts on Zalora. I've not checked 11 street and Lazada yet. Budget?From the deals that i've found in Zalora, i'm currently eyeing on a Casio and a SOLVIL ET TITUS model. I'm not sure if the latter brand is a good choice though. What do you think? Casio Japan SET now Chinese If higher budget look at these https://www.christopherward.com/events/half-price |

Anyway it's one series only and they bought a base seiko movement and modified it I think best thing in Tag is the $50k tourbillon  I found this but it's at over rm71k.

QUOTE(0168257061 @ Aug 2 2017, 11:55 AM) Hi Sifu sifu sekalian, just want to ask what is the price range for IWC 3777-09 here in Malaysia ? Stowa don't have the 3777 design iircSo many nice pilot watch including Stowa but definitely they are not in the same level  Finishing iwc better but it's at close to usd$5k retail, grey 25-30% off. Used usd$3.3k Stowa is usd$1.9k. Is it 2x the level? Marketing to show off certainly. If you compare movement reliability maybe no much diff. Iwc case is soft iron protected not stowa. Stowa can see decorated movement Passions - last seen at 35% off retail for similar model http://www.passions.com.sg/v2/watch/iwc-43...imagnetic-steel This post has been edited by patryn33: Aug 3 2017, 04:42 AM |

QUOTE(fuzzy @ Oct 2 2017, 05:35 PM) Pieces like SNK809 is pretty much on par if not cheaper over here compared to Japan. For example, Yodabashi lists the SNK809 around 14k yen which is about RM500 while maymay sells is for around RM300. Iirc Seiko 5 are made in Southeast Asia not in JapanMain advantage is more likely JDM pieces or rare ones that is hard to find outside Japan. I agree JDM Seiko or orient or citizen mechanical better deal Amazon japan prices around rm300 https://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%82%BB%E3%82%A4.../dp/B002SSUQFG/ This post has been edited by patryn33: Oct 3 2017, 07:01 AM |
