I just wear it like normal. Just be careful not to knock against wall, under the table, etc. I rarely wipe my watches though, unless for some photo shoot

Enjoy your watch and don't be the slave of it

This part is very true.

Btw, are watch prices quite fixed in Malaysia? I mean like Tag Heuer offers 18-20% max (as far as i know). I was browsing thru some international sites and the Tag Heuer model i bought seem to be cheaper by RM500 for weekend sale. The normal discounted price is same as the price i bought. Any comments on this?

one of my older watches Cartier Roadster, bought 2 extra leather straps (brown and another spare black), can be converted to metal bracelet or leather strap instantly.. clip on..
taken circa 3-4years back.....

The discount ratio is depend on the brands. Tag Heuer is fixed by their mother company, LVMH, to enhance their brand image. Yes, the prices for some online site might be cheaper than local watch dealer. However, some of them would not provide warranty card and Tag Heuer might not honour any warranty claim.

ar188, nice Cartier you got there. The shape of the case remind me of Frank Muller

hehe! the santos 100 would be unmistakable as 100% cartier shape..

anyway here;s the tag taken last nite 1.25am..

Show the Santos, one of my dream watches

The Tag is definately fake! The bezel is terbalik! Haha, just kidding bro

Is it HP Compaq Presario laptop? Mine has the same Altec Lansing speaker

haha! if the tag badge terbalik then 100% fake..

yes it's a HP compaq..

hey guys, does anyone of you know how much an omega speedy pro or PO will go for in msia(including discounts)? Just wondering as I'm interested in getting my first swiss watch and I'm not sure it'll be cheaper in msia or in australia. Thanks in advance for any feedback!

Hello there, Speedy Pro MSRP is about RM11k++ and PO about RM12k++, discount rate normally from 10% - 20% here. Am not sure about the price difference between M'sia and Australia but the watches here is duty free.

My Speedy Pro says hi

alrighty ck77, thanks for the swift reply. Factoring in a 20% discount, even with them watches being duty free, the best is only 8.8k for speedy and 9.6k for PO in msia? If that's the case i'll use that info as a yardstick for comparison but in any case I still have plenty of time to shop around since i think i read on watchuseek about some guy who got 32-35% off where i'm at(still waiting for the AD's contacts), and if i buy it before i go back to msia for a holiday i'll get a further 9% on top of the discounted price as a tax refund.

just trying my luck here but do you happen to know the price of a tag link auto chrono and the oris tt3 black chrono? these 2 in addition to the 2 omegas are on my shortlist. not sure whether i should proceed with the dream of owning one of these swissmade badboys though =/

The Tag Link and Oris TT3 no doubt are good watches, however, IMHO, Omega Speed Pro definately is in different league. In view of its long history and the connection with NASA, its arguably the most tested and robust chronograph in the world horology.

Thanks for the reply. Btw, i just found out that is it not good to use automatic watches for sports like golf & gym. Is it true? Is yes, why?

Am not a golfer myself, but most of the automatic sport series are able to withstand heat and vibration during sport activities. i.e. Tag Carrera, Ebel 1911, Omega PO etc.

Maybe some experienced golfer would like to share their views.

i saw a PT in fitness first wearing Panerai.... i was like WTF.... he had been saying i had nice sunnies(oakley, i had a few of them).... but how to compare with panerai.... but i doubt he will be using it during his workout...

I've been playing golf for many years but i have never seen anyone wearing expensive watches. Next time must do a survey and ask the golfers

When i bought my watch, the sales lady told me it might cause problems in the moving mechanisms for long term usage under such conditions. Wanted to double check whether the info was true. Well, just to be safe, i won't wear it.

hehe.... quick unclear shot of AP royal oak... not mine la of course.... my dad's....

Eh .... I never saw an AP chrono look like this ....

it's not a chrono...

if buy APs, should go for Offshore.. got large watch effect..

it's day/date with moonphase royal oak.... whole thing is stainless steel... quite ok la the watch... better than the other AP royal oak but rose gold n reptile skin strap...

nice watch mirage-rs. I like the day/date pattern. Looks unique. How old is the watch btw?

Btw, i double confirmed bout automatic watches with the shop. It's not advisable to use it for strong impact sports. I also questioned her about the day/date changing at 1152pm. She asked her technician and he said he could be because i rarely wear it. She also asked me try for a month and see whether there is any difference. I hope what the technician said is right
