QUOTE(ck77 @ Aug 31 2016, 04:44 PM) Online only as far as I know. QUOTE(EpsilonStar @ Aug 31 2016, 06:52 PM) CW official website don't ship to malaysia anymore as way too many lost shipments(pos malaysia  ) and fraud case. but can email them to order. But they will use DHL for shipping, which costs 50 pounds... That stopped me from ordering 1 during the last trident sales. If not mistaken, a forumer here mentioned that DHL will charge service fee for helping us to clear custom once the watch reach here too... Oh...this is tough LOL d trouble is good enuf to deter me from buying one though i do like the sub+seamaster style watch a lot esp when it also comes with 38mm diameter option...thanks for d info

QUOTE(iVW @ Sep 1 2016, 09:37 AM) For that 2, Tag is better for its brand name Thanks for reply. Agreed that Tag is better known brand. But in terms of design i prefer Skindiver 2 more. Don't like the dial of the new Aquaracer. The horizontal lines made it look too busy. Hence, the struggles. 😅

Hi guys, would like to ask do any of you know any shop that sells this kind of strap? Been to some shop and ask but because the strap itself is different from the normal strap (its slightly bigger on the top side, as u can see from the photo), it is harder to find seller. Any recommendation of shops that might have this strap, in Kuala Lumpur or Ampang area? Thanks! I've went to City Chain in Leisure Mall and ask, btw. Attached thumbnail(s)

QUOTE(0168257061 @ Aug 30 2016, 11:13 PM) Dear watch kaki, 13k for pelagos gen 1. Considered good deal? Didnt have time to test in on my wrist yet. I like the gen 2 with in house movement (70 hrs power reserve) but from what I read feedback from other user, it seems that the new movement has some issues. Cost of maintenance in the long run is still a question though. Get the new one. Why get the old one? The almost double power reserve alone is a good reason to get the new in house Watch is covered by warranty. Will be a long time before it need to send it in for any potential problems

But any straps actually will fit right? It's just that the end curve will be hollow.
