QUOTE(taingonghai @ Oct 2 2010, 04:03 PM) patryn33, thanks for the info and explanation. Come to think of it, you're planting seeds of doubt in my mind now! haha. I know the Breitling 13b/ Valjoux 7750 mod engine is definitely not considered high end in any way. But the bloody Bentley GT series are definitely OH SO YUMMY looking! Btw, what do you think of the Hublot watches? In particular the Big Bang series and the HUB 44 movement? I know they're in another price category all together, but would sure like your opinion since u seem to be an expert in watch/movement technicalities. info on their movement very limited. for a watch that retails over US$15K I expect the movement to be well decorated with blue screws.  this is an mod 7750, like the Pam there are alot more that go into the Mod. an added module is fairly uncommon, noe at 50% off thru AD. http://lmtime.com/watches/jules-verne.phphttp://www.ablogtoread.com/watch-brands/lo...t-watch-review/ This post has been edited by patryn33: Oct 2 2010, 08:55 PM

hi guys,just found out this thread and hope to find answers for my question.my girlfriend inherited a watch from her parent few years ago and it's an omega.i don't really know whether it's considered luxury or not but here comes the question.as it's been quite an 'old' watch,the leather strap has been showing its age and it's kinda like wanna break in any minute.going to the omega retailer store,we are told that the leather strap may cost around RM1k and it has to be flown from the place of origin so we're hoping that someone here could shed some light on where can we find a cheaper alternative,or recommend a place for us to place our enquiries. thanks in advance and below is the attached picture of how the watch looks. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Any good quality leather strap should do the watch justice, does not have to be original and cost an arm and a foot.
Buckle must be transfer over too.
Good quality leather strap should cost between RM100 plus to RM400 (for after market croco).

Rolex parts are controlled items which can only be purchased from authorised dealers (AD). However, in Malaysia ADs don't carry parts.  So your only way is to go to the service center below and buy from them and get it installed. However, before you get excited, Rolex (in SEA and most part of the world except EU) is strict in terms of parts mix and match. So, if the dial you want is not one of 'official' dial variations of the watch you own, then tough luck.

 Anyone here own this Omega model? What are your thoughts on it in terms of construction, movement, accuracy and overall holding value?

Plan to sell it at rm8k ouch, sakit. tag watches are well built. but yes i do agree that their commanding price relative to the value is rather high. you get more value for money with an Oris, Ball or a CW
