Any of you guys ever bought a watch from www.collectorstime.com? Quite skeptical about buying online as don’t know how authentic the watch is, plus unsure about claiming warranty as not all manufacturer have distributors here.

no (or not yet) but heard positive reviews about him. i think can guarantee authenticity. if you KL based maybe he can do COD.

ive been using g shock for 13 years...around two watches...each i wore for around 6/7 years ~ so i tot mayb wanna have a change..

any models to recommend?
cheers

mayb can try nooka. go check H5 concept store at bangsar village. price start rm559 and above

true that 1U Watchshoppe does see u in a different way.
I was once served with an attitude what i cant afford to buy the Tag.
The malay lady was looking at my watch and i was like "Wxx" looking down on me.

A month later i visited them again to check on their stock availability and is gone.
This time i try not wearing anything with formal attire. Well, they are looking at me and serve me slightly better than previous visit.

Think is a norm thing in M'sia ppl "scan" their customer from head to toe.

Oh guys, my bro was asking me to consider Omega watches...any nice Omega watches can reckon? Since Omega > Tag

a common Omega watch is the speedmaster, looks pretty decent

Hahaha....Yes, I totally agree...its very typical of retailers (esp in M'sia) to judge a walk-in customer's buying power by the way the customer dresses. Just like terencetoo said...they'll scan you from head to toe first....probably to see if you're worth their time and effort providing you with good service. Well, I just wanna share two real incidents where it really shows you can never judge a person's buying power by the way they dress.

My fren's fren is a real 'ah beng'....the kind that wears thick gold chain...dyes hair in weird colors...long nails on his pinky...and usually wears just a t-shirt, bermudas and slippers but a wealthy one....carries around stacks of RM100 notes in cold hard cash (well, he's a bookie). Well this is a real case and this 'ah beng' is interested to buy a Panerai...so he walks into the boutique (in KL) and the sales person didn't even gave him a second glance...needless to say the service was terrible. So, feeling frustrated...this 'ah beng' immediately went to IWC boutique instead and bought a watch worth almost 30k in cash.

So, all you retailers out there esp the salesperson, do not ever jugde a person's buying power just by the way he/she dresses!!

I've heard of another case (in PG) where the customer (old wealthy businessman) was also only wearing a t-shirt, bermudas and slippers....but he was also wearing a watch worth over RM300k limited to only a few pieces worldwide....walks into a watch shop and bought 6 Omegas with total value of around RM60k-70k in cash!

Hmmm....sometimes, the simpler the person dresses...the wealthier he/she is!

not deal with him.. but plenty of good reviews on WUS/Timezone etc..
wanna get something from them, and did check them out with a few forumers eg Elshan on WUS.
check out fine... if sell fake U will definitely find lots of complains on these places (WUS/Timezone/Watchnet/pmwf etc)

anyway, red-queen here father's friends are the owner.

if u are worried.. U can go meet up and do COD.

U want Chrono or non Chrono???
the list can run super long and it would take awhile to compile.. kinda crazy way to ask.. U'll find ppl shying away from your post.
why don't U narrow it down 1st?

Saw this pretty last night at Emotus, KLCC
Fortis B-42 Black Black Limited Edition 2012 pieces
Super nice, and light weight, retail RM8810

Omega? try the seamaster series..Planet Ocean....quite nice design...reputable co-axial movement too

friend of mine bought the orange one last week in a sale.....he may want to sale because he wants bracelet, not leather. Only the leather was available during the sale and since the discount was good, he went for it...

another black on black from fortis.. this fashion has been going on for 2-3yrs already..

Hence, i head to Omega website and try to hunt a few design that i like.
I totally have no idea on Omega retail price. Guess u guys can enlighten me whether is it a good deal and usually what is their discount.


Seamaster Aqua Terra Chronograph

Speedmaster HB-SIA Co-Axial GMT Chronograph

Any Advise on servicing?
Movement?
Reliability?

Thanks alot.

so i bought this auto watch. the thing is it always stop.

how to solve?

What you mean by always stop? Bought it new or used? Can you elaborate more?
Most auto watch have at least 30++ hours power reserve. Certainly it will stop if you don't wear it for 1 day or 2.
To prevent it from stoping, wear it daily, or manual wind it (if the movement allowed), or put it into watch winder.
If your watch still stop even though you wear it daily, probably the rotor is stop working, bring it for repair or service.

I bought my seamaster pro at 8k. retail was 10500 i believe. so you do the math. by the way, bought it at watchshoppe.
omega should be using their co-axial movements.

co-axial escapement... service every 8-10yrs.
Reliability... its an OMEGA.. no worries!

if U are a office worker and hardly ever move your wrist..
stopping after a nite is always possible. it got nothing to do with the rotor.
