Hello Guys,

Just started to do some research,
but im thinking of getting a watch next year but nothing expensive. Murah je around rm2k.

Is that enough for a decent watch? Not looking at fashion watches.

Thanks guys

It means Grey imports. Not by authorized distributors. Usually warranty is by the seller themselves. Depending on the seller.

As this is gonna by my first purchase of a watchmaker make, i would prefer one where the warranty is more comprehensive.

But buying from ad, price are higher and choices are limited too.

BTW. U can have a look at Steinharts in a brick and mortar shop in Singapore..

I have this thing about buying something expensive online sad.gif

How often do i need to service such watches as i assume "proper" watches need servicing?

Do love the steinhart dive watches..

Usually every 5-7 years, but some can run longer.. I'll tell you to go have a look at it because picture can be misrepresentive..

But memang for Steinhart not so easy, unless you find a seller and go try it on..

I agree. Hence why I also find it hard to buy stuff online.
But it's in Singapore tho. Hurm...

if U say must try to get a feel how it wear I get it.
warranty... for such price pt, they runs on ETA from swatch group. chances for you to exercise warranty is extremely low.
for ppl like me I rather take the risk, service fees for such work horse movement isn't high. if watches go for 75-80% discount vs AD the 25-30%, even need to pay out of pocket still cheaper.

buying stuff online should matter where are you, U can always VPN to get stuff.
Singapore ISP provider shouldn't block u.
I seen ppl buying on taobao the entire house reno stuff.. from tiles, wood floor, faucets, toilet bowl, furniture, clothes, shoes etc.
even sgd$5-20k engagement ring, ppl buy online.
iirc I saw many brick and mortar closing down, even for HK they facing same issue as ppl getting more comfortable shopping online following the western trend.
*
To try it out is a given. Just u know, never bought a watch over 500 nor have I bought anything online over rm100. So forgive me for being worried on warranty n service sad.gif

Yes in KL.

Bought directly from Steinhart, I don't see what's the problem ordering online other than not being able to try it on. Having trust on the brand is really important and that's about it

One thing to note is just the straight lugs and how it tapers and sits on the wrist.

OK. Jom! I'm in Kl too
