for those of you who wear leather watches, how do you maintain or clean the leather?

the sweat from my wrist has made my leather stink like hell, not exactly a pleasant thing hehe

what do u mean by other watch guys?
its not uncommon to find those ardent watch collector to collect a box full of a certain brands or a particular kinda vintage watch regardless of price.
if u been to one of those US watch shows u know what I am talking about.. u even find ppl collecting cheapo vintage timex watches.
some only Japanese eg only collect citizen campanola complication.

have $$$, anything is possible.

today, its kinda "mainstream" loh... any kid who know a Tag or Seiko would know a Pammy.. I have to say brand awareness is along with the 5 match stick. ulu brands would be Girard Perregaux, Ulysse Nardin, Graham.

ok..thanks..check it out..thanks for your pm too bro!

Yep, its an orange PO with orange leather strap
Normal retail 11900
Rate after discount is around 9.8-10k
Selling now for 8k...

Price confirm going up April , 5%...

i love the orange bezel...but orange strap?      i dont mind but worry if i will fall out of love with it after some time...

of course, i can always get an Omega bracelet but i heard the PO bracelet is about 2k (right?) so...if i add in all....it will still be a 10k Omega PO..except i get 1 leather strap addition!   

Any Franck Muller fans around?

I used to hate FM,

But lately the more I see it, the more i'm attracted to it. But prices are ridiculous and it doesn't have much history compare to say - IWC or a Jaeger or even a Panerai 

r3kahsttub!!!

i am impressed you recognized my UNDFTD's!!  You must have very good taste in shoes!

patryn33 - i can tell by your posts that you know watches very well.

you are correct, these's PAM's were selling for less than half price until Stallone made them popular.

the model has gone under several revisions over the last four years - actually there was a PAM 00196, which was replaced by the PAM 00250.  Nearly identical with a few differences.

My model was made in 2008, and I just recently sent it to service (still under warranty).  Without warranty, minimum service costs about RM 2000.

hehe Jason - I think he was just trying to find a way to complement.

I chose the watch because of its history, presence, and also because it's not too "mainstream" but not too exclusive where most people do not know what it is.  Also, fellow Paneristi are a bit different from other watch guys.  It's quite common to see some with a box full of a dozen or more Panerai.  They'll own a few IWC, AP and other marque's, but seriously, a box full of Panerai's. 

As far as a timepiece, there are watches that are 1/10 the price (Hamilton) that use the same exact ETA Valjoux movement.  In fact you have to spend RM 100k to get a true Panerai movement.

For me a watch is a symbol of status.  Women wear handbags, jewelry and shoes.  Men only have watches...and perhaps pens ( I collect pen's as well ).  Sometimes at my age, it requires something substantial, like an expensive watch, to gain credibility from people twice my age, that I have to do business with.

HT does not sell rolex, but the boss can get it for you either new or pre-loved. yeah omega's price going up on 1st april. Btw, anyone knows the RRP for Ball spacemaster and the spacemaster glow / x-lume. Wanna workout the difference n see which to get =x

3 options I can think of,
1. Get after market (none Omega) leather strap
2. Get the PO with rubber strap
3. Go PS get the 'ahem' Omega bracelet 

so any further discount for Tag? i have esquire only 18% or some control price0 tag without discount (recently from the manufacturer)

There is a Tag road show going on in KLCC now, end tomorrow.
Normal discount is 18% but the sales rep said will give better deal if seriously wanted to buy.
Go and check it out, maybe can get some free F1 goodies 

Ohh my god! i out of town now! sigh i just left yesterday.
I was waiting this KLCC road show since last yr (u can back track the earlier post been kept asking n asking when is the road show)
The road show is giving 23% if the deal is the same. Arrrrr....the SA at 1U are so smart didnt tell me anything about the road show.

And i cant make it back tomorrow. Omg

I can get slightly more than 18% for sure from my AD for any TH model except for LE if you're dealing with cash Anyone can get better than 20% off for omega from any AD in msia?

hmm care to recommend 2nd hand (grey importer) watch shop ?
