Would you mind giving me a few models to check it out? So at least I can check the price online, don't want to get 'chop' by retail price.

Before this, I was thinking of getting Bambino for her but I am afraid people will laugh at her for wearing men watches.
Sorry, DW is not on my list as it is not worth buying.

Thank you. I'll check it out them out.

To a lady's eye, Seiko & Casio aren't "branded". Most ladies don't appreciate the value of Japanese made watches.

Perhaps she may be more attracted to fashion brands like Coach (yes, they have watches too), Gucci, Michael Kors, etc. For those, just search online (lazada, shopee, etc.) or at any shopping mall. Perhaps a smartwatch (apple watch, or amazfit) would be more appealing than Seiko and other japanese brands.

You should know your lady better...

You, sir, are very right in this. Another good source to look for ladies fashion watch would be Zalora, with plenty of 18-20% credit card discounts out there. My lady likes a brand called Olivia Burton very much....simple and classy cool2.gif

I don't meant to insult anyone, maybe I should quote the source next time.
There are thousands of Daniel Wellington replicas in AliExpress, Shopee and Lazada, a good one can just be as good as the original, so better buy at boutique.
*
Oh actually I meant the replicas are so prevalent and look so much like the real deal that it reduces the value of original buyers. I didn't mean that your comment was insulting to them. Sorry for the confusion!

Hi all, I may need to get the hands of my watch replaced. Can you all recommend a trustworthy watch repairer in KL/PJ?

Do you all know roughly how much it cost to get it done? I have the hands and just need the watchmaker to do it for me.

Hi. Anyone know where i can buy this from physical shop? Or online website? I found one shop in Shopee but that also need to import and take 2-3 weeks!

Most likely you'll need to get it online. When I was shopping for my Casio Duro, all local stores didn't have it and said that it had been discontinued (maybe no longer brought into Malaysia). In the end, I got it from eBay and shipped from the US.

Or go for the sapphire crystal version of Speedy? But hesalite is more desired because it's clearer and truer to the original moonwatch than sapphire right?

you should be getting to pay sales tax, but not duties...

but if you are lucky, you might not pay anything

May i know what's the threshold amount (above RM?) for a watch to be levied sales tax? Is it 6% or 10% for sales tax on watch?

I can't remember... i think is USD200 or 100.... but is totally up to the custom personnel decision..... at times you will still charge sales tax at low value. AFAIR, 10%

QUOTE(Everdying @ Jul 8 2019, 08:25 AM)
rm500.. 6% of total including shipping.

I will be getting my dress watch soon and I am considering either the Glashutte and JLC, both are around the same price in KL

Was wondering which will be a better buy? There's also a similar one with moon phase, is moon phase relevant?

Thanks

If JLC, Master Ultra Thin / Small Second also very nice! Clean and elegant smile.gif

Nice! Looks like Aliexpress watches are gaining popularity. I've also ordered one lately and it's on the way. Just curious, how long did it take to arrive for yours?
