Indeed, after envying patryn33 lume pics i was totally disappointing on TH Carrera lume fingers. [guess this is not their selling point] biggrin.gif
I found out Ball does have awesome n bright lume pics [it could be the UV light claim by miaopurr]

Im trying my best to capture this in dark...but guess effect is not as good as patryn33 posted rolleyes.gif

I think U and miaopurr are confuse with Tritium gas. They are self powered and do not need UV light unlike your Tag or most watches.
why they get get lume pics? the glow is constant and its easier to get great pics.
unlike superluminova the lume decay with time fast.

issue with pp around the region.. Seiko is well known but its often associated with cheap watches.
ppl on the streets may not know U are wearing a US$2-3K seiko watch (FYI iirc movements are will be used in TAG Heuer).

I think their design is very Macho/masculine, lots of subdials very cool. Casio Edifice gold are gaining popularity too. cool gold and black carbon.
value for $$ for young adults wo only care about complications and super accuracy anyway, I love their Spring Drive gmt, but it cost ~us$4k.

hi guys, my friend has this jaeger le coultre watch where he accidentally broke the glass. Where can he get it fixed and how much would it cost? I think servicing will be required too since the watch is exposed.

Is it possible to get the local AD to bring it in?

Am only a student and online purchase is not an option.

How much would i be expecting to spend? Direct conversion using google gives an estimate of RM1310.

true, tritium tubes are self-powered. but what contributes the really bright luminous effect of the display units is, IMO, the bezels. ball (the ones with bezel) use luminova on their bezels. under UV light, the bezels shine really bright, giving out that very nice lume effect.

btw, went to klcc today. since i was there, i checked out the latest price of omega PO. an omega PO with bracelet is now rm12.75k. old price was rm11.7k. despite the plunging euro n usd, local price still goes up. local ADs are the real cut-throats.

i went to cortina but there were no hot chicks! terence, u sure it was the cortina? but emotus sure have one really cute leng lui... wub.gif got her card too.... again wub.gif tried on a fortis marinemaster, the cute babe commented it was too big for my wrist. cute babe really knew her stuff tongue.gif

No possible, those Japan model are not for export. AD cannot carry them in.
only way is online (U can pay with paypal.com, U can tap into your funds in bank no need credit cards)
which watch are u looking? U'll be paying ~2-3% more than RM1310 for sure.

Got to be fully service as you never know the debris and tiny particle might go into the movement.
Ask you friend to pull out the crown to stop the watch and take to service center have a check.

come on.. the wall?? I bang into steel rails so many times on my tag and its still clean. Wall and broke..
not sure what JLC model he have, but ~1K is for the full service including glass.
not done in Malaysia, just guess as Rolex cost RM$500 to service I read here, JLC may cost about the same + cost of sapphire and labor.

go to agree with ck77, be cheap and just replace the sapphire crystal, U may end up replacing parts and that may cost U 2-5X the amount to fix!

no AD will bring the cost b4 today's selling price.. the Brands wouldn't allow that either. They have to consider what if USD/EUR become strong again for this yr how? they are not willing to lose out on profits, thats Biz for U.


so are u calling the hot babe to get her out on a date?? brows.gif

Ok, the watch was running when he showed me earlier.

Actually we checked out 2 shops in Subang Parade, both said they don't service and don't know any shops. The Watches of Switzerland shop said they can repair but the technician has to check first. My friend wanted an rough estimation but the guy could not tell so he did not leave it there.

I forgot to state an important thing, the watch was given as a gift from the uncle who bought it in Switzerland and he is not sure where is the AD here.

even if U take it to JLC service center, U need to leave it there to get a est. They wouldn't give U a unreliable quote.
I have not met any watchmaker that will give me a quote without taking a closer look. don't wanna leave it and worry, just go to AD and get it done.
customer wouldn't be happy, when they quote price A and later upon closer examination its A+X.

i think, if the watch is still under warranty, send it to local JLC outlet. if the warranty has expired, i think sifus here can recommend some reliable watchmakers. my boss sent his tag to a well-known service centre for a service, but a week later the watch went kaput

Warranty is 2 years right? I think he's should be 3 years at the moment. Any good shops to recommend?
