depending on the watchmaker's skill / experience and available tools for servicing

best to consult a professional watchmakers first or contact thong sia to get confirmation on the model you intend to get

but usually for mechanical timepieces servicing is not a big problem unless you say have broken parts need replacement then different story

Thanks

Hi all, anyone happen to know anywhere I can get modification parts (anything from a bezel and glass change on the skx007 to changing to an NH36 movement) done in KL? Or maybe how much it costs as well? Thanks appreciate it 🙏🏼

I'm guessing long island watch? Though with all what you want, you might be more interested in the islander watches Mark sells.

totally understand how you feel mate.. even at 6" is hard to find a nicely sized diver for my wrist

there are those seamaster 36 / colt 38 classics in the market but pocket will burn a hole  laugh.gif

Thought so. I understand it all. Even at 17+ cm, I cannot wear anything above 46 mm. in lug length.

However, curve lugs are different.


This person has 15.5 cm. Maybe can wear this due to the curve nature of the lugs. Not seiko though biggrin.gif

slightly above 4r

I think 4r should be rm180 while 6r15 is rm200

I feel 6r servicing rm200 is worth it for their ori price to servicing ratio

most importantly is I love these watches and it does not break the bank  smile.gif

Good luck 👍

Unfortunately for the me, my first auto was the Kamasu, with
Time accuracy of +12-25+ when I bought it. Refunded it. Staying with quartz only. Hate to reset time date when I go through my collection. Hate to set the date for my quartz as well for months less than 31.

Next watch will be a perpetual calendar. Maybe Bluetooth.

i actually dont like the Sakura...cos the dial is very "geometric"..
there are quite a few seiko quartz with perpetual under rm1k.
i kinda like the SPC131 / 133.

correct. But my wrist can only support like 47 mm lug length. Before it goes over. I think my next watch is the casio royal oak. Comfortable with it. Technically analogue with perpetual calendar

u do realize the casio is 48.5mm lug to lug right...
this proves that lug to lug isn't the only factor but how the lug is designed also.

It wears smaller than the dimensions suggest. My entire wrist width is 50 mm. I've tried it, it fits well. My seiko sgeg097p1 wears bigger even if that is 47 mm

i would think it looks bigger, cos its all dial... very typical of any dress watch more than say 38mm.

Yes, but the case design will help people with smaller wrist. The seiko turtle and casio oak is a great option for smaller wrist. Still maintain a big dial.

I will try to find the new gravitymaster gwr-b1000 to see if this carbon core guard can be worn by small wrist. The curved lug design is interesting. Reminds me of the tissot t touch.

Yes. Let me know how the gwr-b1000 sits on the wrist. I'm eyeing the more budget option...gts-b200 because its supposed to be smaller in dimension than most of the carbon core or gsteel models out there but still provide the same functionality and looks.

I also cannot stand have to always set the time and date on my seikos. all sitting in the watch box collecting dust. Im mostly wearing my gshocks these days.
nice collection. Lots of presages. Mine's mostly divers and only one presage.
*
Will also look at the GTS-B200 as well. Cheaper alternative to the gravitymaster, better for me. Thinner in depth, but higher in lug length though. After owning the Kamasu and wearing it for a month daily, I don't think it is for me. Don't like top heavy watches. Reminds me of my Timex Explorer at almost the same weight 150-180 gm (on stock bracelet) which is 17 mm tall. Wiggling the watch makes it loose. My 20 year old Timex T6 explorer compass sits more in the watchbox now than on my wrist. Which defeats the purpose of cherishing it. Granted that was the only watch I used for 15 years (before smartphones and I needed an inbuilt compass). Now it just keeping for memory's sake.

Maybe divers are not for me. Rotating bezel which I will not use. Smaller dial because of the bezel. Weight, I tend to use watches which <100 gms more often. Thickness of the watch because of the WR of 200m, which to be fair, I'm not going to go anywhere near 10 m of depth. Which is why the Casio GA-2100 is so much nicer/makes sense. Since I'm working a desk job, a watch too thick also looks out of place on a small wrist. Cannot wear long sleeve shirts. To me, a watch has to serve a function first, rather than looks. Looks are a bonus. At the end of the day, that is the watch which you will always gravitate to without thinking.

One thing about divers is it sure look nice though. If I had a bigger wrist, and I don't mind getting this diver inspired Casio MTP-S110 watch.

Found it here:

I've tried both gwr-b1000 and the gst-b200. The GWR-B1000 sits nicer because it curves nicely on the wrist. There is a slight gap with the gst-b200. However, the gst-b200 is not as high/tall as the GWR-B1000. The carbon fibre band is not as nice as the one for the gst-b200. Aesthetic wise, the gst-b200 is more imposing while the GWR-B1000 is more discrete. When rotating my hand, can definitely tell that the gst-b200 is top heavy slightly. Will shake a bit. Also due to the gap. When comparing the to the GA-2100. The GA-2100 is way comfortable.
