i bought the one pictured above (black dial) for about myr7.8k in '05. later on, i purchased the complimenting speedmaster (silver dial) for about gbp2.3k in '07.

the reason why i got this was because it was able to tell date, day, and month.

Can show us Ball's lume in the dark

I got a Omega Speedmaster Professional from my dad. He bought it in mid 70 if not mistaken. condition is 60% wear and tear. Dont have it right now , in out station. Will post when i coming back next year January.

Anyway , this is my U-BOAT ITALO FONTANA , My Strap metal piece has gone..sigh.. have to go back Malaysia to fix it

As you can see the strap has been unattached since the small metal piece gone

Noticed that there will be an official ORIS shop on the outside area of Lot10? Is this true and does anyone know when this shop will open for public?

spring bar gone, easy fix.. can even do it do on your own. the leather very worn out too seem like its your daily beater.

This post has been edited by HW-Racer: Dec 12 2009, 10:01 PM

there you go, my GMT diver in the dark!


cant really remember, got it about 5800 something... and it was hard to find the gold one at the time... wait kinda long for it.

everywhere u go no need promo the entry level is around rm4000

yup, if u know the people, just try to ask for discount... they will usually go from 25% to 30% depending how well u know them

ball watches? discount is very much controlled... discount range usually from 20-25%. 30% is hard.. today poor econ maybe possible if U pay cash.
anyway, resale value U can see its weak.. a like new Ball with over 1.5yr of warranty on it is selling 50-60% off its retail value!
