He has an iPad already. But I was kinda shock that mode you recommended me was about rm3k but looks so plain like my Seiko 5

Your VC Patrimony looks like a DW, what's the correlation?

If complicated look = value, get the Invicta Bolt.

52mm, Quartz so no worry about it dying for ages, big pushers for its chronograph, got date, got rotating bezel, got nice looking rope design around it, decent water resistance and comes in gold so people know its value and is under RM1k.

Has anyone bought from Jam May May at their shop? Can get further discount on top of the price listed in their website?
*
Nope. In fact you have to tell them you say the price from the website, because its much higher in shop.

For watches that do not use battery, once the reserve power is depleted, the watch will stop. Is this correct?
*
QUOTE(junbecks @ Apr 8 2018, 04:25 PM)
Yes.

Manual wind watches = have to wind the crown. Dont overwind. Then wind again when the watch stops.

Automatics = have to wind the crown. Shouldnt have problems with over winding because there is a release that will prevent overwinding. Then wear it daily so that the movement of your arm provides energy for the watch to keep going.
*
QUOTE(watabakiu @ Apr 8 2018, 04:33 PM)
A bit confused here. Automatic yet still have to manually wind the crown? So which part of it is automatic? And in what sense then, does it differ to manual?
*
Automatic means you have a rotor that will wind it as you move about, thus eliminating the need to manually wind the watch. But, you still can manually win an automatic watch but not vice versa. I guess he missed out the "don't" part.

First thing you learn, establish relationships with contacts and make them bid against each other wink.gif

You will then find one that fits the price / service / honestly / support for your level and that is the fella you go back to again and again.

Nope, for brands like Seiko or citizen, just go online if you are comfortable with grey, their prices is pretty hard to be match by brick and mortar.

Tks much! But other than the aesthetics, what drives people to get manual/automatic watch, rather than quartz??

Boggles the mind that one requires ANOTHER watch to set the 'dead' watch back to life. Isn't showing time the reason one wears a watch? And life being busy as is, wonder how one find the time (no pun intended) to re-set watches?
*
Watches itself is an antiquated notion. You don't need a watch, your phone tells you time is atomic precision and if you don't have one, almost everyone else has one. PC have time indicated, some signboards shows the same, etc etc...

So, automatic harks back to engineering and human's ability and need to engineering something mechanical to perfection. The usual drivers are the movement (sweeping vs tick), the ingenuity (how different movements accentuate different strengths, priorities, capabilities) and maybe longevity, because you can still find watches from 100 years ago that still works.

It's also one of the few jewellery a man can spot and show without being out of place in a corporate culture. Large chains is a no no, large rings is a no no, large earrings or pendants similarly. So, a man have his cufflinks, ties and a watch as the best representation of the jewelry he can wear to compliment his style. So, using it to appreciate a wonderful work of art and engineering says much.

And, if you hang out with C suites, conversation somehow one way or another touches back on watches so having a decent piece, or at least decent knowledge helps.

My CEO beemed when I commented on his GS, which looks like a 70's cheapo quartz Seiko that one would have missed out on otherwise. It led to some very good chat on his pieces and interest.

Guys, i ordered a watch from Jomashop for the first time and got an email saying that due to my watch having an aligator strap and that Jomashop had prior customs issues with shipping alligator bands internationally, the watch cant be shipped to me. Anyone had the same experience?

Not me personally, but I've heard of people having the same issues with Joma, unfortunately.

Newbie question here. If want to set the time for an automatic (as the time is about 15mins late), do I simply push the second hand further by 15min, or need to unwind it first?

Just push it further.

Yes, authentic. But grey market, so means warranty is from Joma, not the brand.

Hi guys,

Would require your kindness in help regarding the repairing of a tissot quartz analog watch , bought at RM1400+- if not mistaken on 2012-13; Tissot quoted me RM500-700 for replacing the quartz movement.

Need some advice on whether I should go for it or buy for a new similar watch..

Thanks in advance.

Unless it carries a sentimental value, just get a new one.
