Was at a dinner celebrating the 85th anniversary of Reverso last night. Just for sharing; hands on with the 2016 Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Gyrotourbillon. Was told that this was smaller and slimmer than the 2008 Gyrotourbillon 2, and seems to wear very nicely on my wrist. But, I can still hear my wallet laughing at me...

Based on yesterday's exchange against the Euro, I was told RM1.26m for the Tribute Gyroytourbillon
 YT is blocked in the office; will share a video of it in motion later tonight.Anyway, I always thought the Reverso did not fit me well, until last night. Feels like I should strap on an automatic Reverso in large to try on for size. I don't see myself wearing a dressy piece much; maybe to office on some days, or for any formal events. |

Didn't get to molest the timepieces... Spent most of the time talking... But a good party nonetheless.  The enamel work takes a year to complete   This is the smallest mechanical movement ever made  |

QUOTE(Everdying @ Aug 4 2016, 02:04 PM) if its going to be 2mm also, the nato leather gonna be quite thick under caseback. Yeah, I had a sample given previously and the leather was very thick, couldn't even flip it back to the buckle.i got one which i actually cut off the bottom piece so essentially becomes a zulu. So sourcing better ones |

THG officiated their Gardens boutique last night. Went to kepo and tried out the 41mm OP. A bit big, but I think can easily be dressed down, or up. I think 39mm would be perfect.

 Just replaced my strap yesterday. From random uncle shop. I think it is synthetic leather. Anyways, it looks way better than my old perlon. This post has been edited by alpha001: Aug 5 2016, 04:31 PM |

Yes, Rolex have been struggling with mag quality issues for some 2 years now iirc. That said, the mag on that DJ2 looks okay to me. And honestly, doesn't actually look too blingy. Maybe with that beautiful sunburst dial, it would get more attention...

Honestly, on mine, it is very very faint. You'd miss it at first sniff. Like, you'd need to SNIIIIIFFFFFFFFFF to get a whiff of vanilla. I had to do this behind closed doors, else people can hear.

For those with small wrists, how do you store your watch in the standard 6/12 slot watch box? The pillows are quite big and will be too tight for the watches sized for 6.5 inch wrists and under.

 can anyone, for the love of everything that's holy, tell me what are the three smaller dials for? the dial on the corner left and the one at the bottom are both showing 30 & 60, what exactly are these? say, the time shown there is 15 40 hours. so how is the time related to the dials? |

Another 30 and 60 dial is for timer (chronograph) seconds. The 5 and 10 dial is the timer (chronograph)) minute counter. Looks like this watch chronograph function can only time till 10 minutes |

Question for the Tudor/Rolex owners, I guess the one I know of is Buttshaker. How Oyster-like is the Tudor bracelet?
That Tudor BBB really, yum. I keep telling myself no need to buy already, jangan, but, I don't have diver wor -- Frogman doesn't count. |

I have no problem with BB bracelet; perhaps not as well constructed as on the Sub, but then it's less then 1/2 the Subs price. Pelagos bracelet comes closest to the Oyster bracelet, but I sometimes find the edges a little sharp.

QUOTE(Everdying @ Aug 29 2016, 10:36 PM) increase again? A modernised reissuethought regular stainless steel last was rm21k. anyway, its not an accurate reissue la. it was never meant to be anyway, more of a homage to the designs of past. the obvious layered dial notwithstanding, that bezel is like a mishmash. of cos size also different. https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/a-week-on...master-co-axial I really like the design. Timeless. And surprisingly wears Betty very well even with the bracelet This post has been edited by Gilthoniel: Aug 29 2016, 10:47 PM |

gmail thanks bro, and sorry I've been quite tied up the past week! Please let me pay you first
Everdying ck77 come la, lim teh at night. Then again the next few nights are super packed for me, and then I will be away 7-18 Sep; timing just not so ngam! Can't make lunch on Thurs either, need to swing by Publika to pick up a coffee machine... if my car doesn't go back in to workshop! Jason the BB bracelet feels cheaper, and its really hard to beat the Sub's glidelock- that easy adjustment is really useful for my growing wrist. Ahem. Eh, jangan cakap banyak, faster TT! |

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. |

No issues so far and accuracy has been spot on. 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.

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(Everdying @ Sep 2 2016, 11:53 AM) ya, wonder why u sold ur tuna and kept the dog. Well sold the tuna coz of almost zero wrist time. Wore it few times, no feels.u should have bought a panerai instead Sold with a profit. Got the pizza bowl which was only 1 month old and practically brand new without using any extra cash. Plus it's a ceramic case. Been looking at pizza boxes for four years now. Annual itch. Finally scratched it. Never had any yearning for panerai. Plus no money for one This post has been edited by Gilthoniel: Sep 2 2016, 12:00 PM |

If it's a Rolex then can't just sent to any shop, they must be able to source the parts.If it's an ETA then many shops can fix it. Why so secretive lah. It's a PP ah? Then go slap yourself for dropping it first. |

Venue, how about Gardens mall? I know of a location that has an awesome view. Problem is can't accommodate that many pax.
After coffee we can raid hour glass. The pizza box shop, Lolex and also Watches of Switzerland that sells Sinn. Not forgetting big momma's favourite Big Bang. |

Hello Sifus.
I noticed the spring bar on my PRC 200 has gotten quiet a bit of wear over the years. This watch has quite a sentimental value to me and as such, would like for it to NOT go flying from my wrist. So, the question: Any good online shop where I can source for a good quality spring bar? It is after all the weakest link, so I'd rather not skimp on quality for something that could cause a colossal failure. I've googled around, and it seems ebay is the place to look for em'. Could I perhaps get more recommendations? I have little faith in B&M's. Would much rather do it myself. Also, how much should I be willing to spend? Have absolutely no idea what's a reasonable price to pay |

i wouldn't so far to call a gwm5610 a classic, far from it seeing as its a new-ish model.
a classic is the 5600 / 5500 / 5000 or any of its reissues. |

of cos a gwm5610 is cheap...
but if u really want a 5000...better just look for a used dw5030... thats the most recent faithful reissue of a 5000. i know someone here recently got the gset 30th set for rm1.1k or so... brand new here is rm1.7k. http://www.g-central.com/gset-30-1-g-shock-gift-box-set/ this thread u can see how nicely made a 5000 is. http://forums.watchuseek.com/f17/restoring...s/343352?page=1 a 5600 / 5610 cannot come close... as u can already tell from their prices.

Jason no lah, we are both on a budget. My passport was actually stolen... then returned (minus backup cash in the holder).
Anyway, didn't plan for anything; would have bought a BLNR is Heathrow had one for £5,000 - but they have since adjusted their prices to £5,800. Checked out the PAM590 which I'm tempted to swap my zero for, but not keen on topping up too much and I really do like my zero. Asked around for a Reverso, but only keen on the 1931 Tribute. Had a look see at a Smurf, but that's way out of budget so only a fantasy. |

QUOTE(r3kahsttub @ Sep 19 2016, 03:10 PM) Jason no lah, we are both on a budget. My passport was actually stolen... then returned (minus backup cash in the holder). I'm in HK now, need help with the BLNR or the Smurf? LOL.Anyway, didn't plan for anything; would have bought a BLNR is Heathrow had one for £5,000 - but they have since adjusted their prices to £5,800. Checked out the PAM590 which I'm tempted to swap my zero for, but not keen on topping up too much and I really do like my zero. Asked around for a Reverso, but only keen on the 1931 Tribute. Had a look see at a Smurf, but that's way out of budget so only a fantasy. QUOTE(ck77 @ Sep 20 2016, 09:59 AM) The date ruined it. The "new" PAM is like.. poverty version. For people who really want a PAM but can't afford it.30m is ok as it is not a diver. New PAM 1000 and 1005 also 30m only. Lol |
