I got a victorinox, the v25126 model, quite an old one for casual use, costing me about 850, i recommend u to get their metal chain models rather than leather's one (quite easy to break)..
I currently have one tag heuer formula 1, 2 g-shocks... and an casio edifice soon |

Seiko Coutura is not available in Malaysia market. Thus Malaysia only have Premier, Sportura, Velatura and Arctura as their Elite collection for Seiko. Grand Seiko or Seiko Spring Drive are market as their Master collection.
Btw Velatura is a great watch. |

I have a modest Tissot for formal events and an Archimede Pilot for everday use.
Watches like IWC and Brietling are very nice but I cannot find a reason to spend so much on any astronomically priced watch that can only do so much What do u guys think? |

There's sure a lot of watch threads in lowyat.
Btw, i had a G-shock for nearly 9 years and it fully went blank on the day i bought my Tag Heuer. I asked one shop and they said no point changing the battery because it might stop after few days.  I can't use the automatic watch for sports and gym. Looking for alternatives. Any suggestions? Budget lesser than Rm500. |

Hey all,
Like Feed, I'm looking for something that's chronograph and has the classic look. I prefer metal chain/frame kinda thing. Budget,within 1-2k. Was looking at Tissot when the sales dude at the shop was telling me I should look at Swiss Army as well. He was saying that comparing the the low end ones of the 2 brands (i.e. my budget), Swiss Army has better quality, in terms of material at least. Any comments or suggestions/recommendations? Would prefer to avoid Seiko as it's rather common,unless something really nice pops up. |

I'm a Timex fan. I bought my first Timex 15 years ago. Currently I have 4 Timex, including 1 heart rate monitor.
Why I like Timex ? Becoz it's affordable & AFAIK, there are no fake Timex. Sometimes with those branded ones, e.g. Tag, Tissot, etc, ppl will give U the can-this-guy-really-afford-this-watch-mustbe-using-fakes kinda look. |

I use a Ball Trainmaster Moonlight Special (only 999 pcs in the world) for work and a Tag Heuer Classic 2000 Multigraph for rough use and on holidays (since it is waterproof).
Am looking around for a reasonably priced square face watch with a bit of complications in the movement (if possible). |

i am not sure if you can remove scratches from a bracelet. you may have to change the bracelet itself.

About the bracelet, it could be preference .
I was going to get a Carrera actually because i've been eyeing on that for a long time until my parents said i'm not going to use the chrono. Then the saleslady agreed with them and recommended one that will suit my usage. That's where the link came in Tag Heuer recently updated a few of their models. Aquaracer, Carerra and the SLR if i'm not mistaken. Carrera still looks presentable but the Aquaracer looks weird to me especially with the date on the left. A few pics of mine.

I asked about polishing at the Tag Heuer Boutique!
Quite rare i use the Chrono function aha just like it to be complicated on the dials=p there was once where i was in Hong Kong and it was the last day for me there so i took MTR (Malaysia would be LRT) and i timed from destination A to B to C how long it would take so i know when do i need to leave from destination C to A haha and it worked lol! Glad i got the chance to use the chrono =phaha Great watch! yeahh TAG heuers are really innovative! i really like the Calibre S line check it out http://www.tagheuer.co.jp/collection/2009s...a_cals_laptimer it's much cheaper than a normal carrera, my bet is its not a mechanical watch T_T but i love it very much haha |

I have a few Swiss watches but am also a big fan of Seiko watches.
Sometimes, we just want to get some for fun and variety...       As the TiCN PVD coating on this one is a bit fragile, I'll probably change it to a leather strap. |

Haha, yea i would go for history too. I noticed that there are die-hard fans for different brands and they like to expand their collection within the same brand. Personally, i feel it's better to mix the collection between various brands
Btw, nice watch and photography skills lanatir. Show us your Swiss collection too |

QUOTE(e_trade_pj @ Mar 18 2009, 01:29 AM) my watch is too scratches, want to polish and make it like new..do you know where i can send to..and roughly how much they charge? thanks.. Bro, I've got the same exact watch that you have. As well as the same problem.
only worse. the snap for my bracelet is broken. I've asked around and the Polishing/Refurbishing will cost RM300-400. The bracelet is almost RM300 as well. Plus the bezel, another RM300. so in the end, congratulations, you just got your self another Tissot PRS-200. |

Do you think those replicas at lelong.com.my are worth buying? I find Bell & Ross watches over there seems to be pretty decent. Anyone have experience in this?

I think buying anything replica will never come close to the same thing, Please bare in mind that replica's are made with labour intense from child labour to force labour. money from buying replica products are chanel to various illegal activity.Please do not support this activity. |

people will know if the watch is a replica one when they hold it, see it, and feel it.
generally, nobody will pull your wrist over to check out whether the watch is a genuine or not. so, at a quick glance in the social event, the replica watch does look like a genuine watch. i have known many professional fields people age above 40/50 years old own replica Panerai, PP, A. Lange & Sonne, IWC, Cartier, FM etc watches. what cars are they driving? ...Lexus, Mercedes, Audi, BMW..etc and even one owns a ferrari. will people say they are wearing a replica watch? |

well sorry to interrupt..
IF those ppl will not wear a rm200k watch for work, then don't.. just buy a TAG or something which is genuine instead buying a fake patek.. and yes, i know there are alot of ppl who owns fakes.. maybe they have the money but they just don't want to splurge on things which are not important BUT at the same time they want to show off.. so it clearly will tell u what kind of a person he/she is well for me, i do own 2 fake stuff BUT i do tell ppl that it is fake AND i do not go around showing it off maybe coz i have my own principal.. i'd rather buy something lower end than buying a fake LV bag or coach bag or burberry bag AND carrying it around showing off to the public..just my 2 cents QUOTE(iamsobloodysick @ Apr 2 2009, 12:10 PM) if you have extra 200k in cash, will you buy a car, a house or a watch?

buying fakes especially those AAA grade might fool some ppl but sure it cant fool urself os an owner
its juz like having a normal gal as gf or having a damn sexy ahkua as gf.... others might not know s(he) is an ahkua n compliment u but deep down inside u noe u r missing something important > genuine if u cant go for the top then stick to ur ability ... a seiko might not b as good as a tag as opposed to rolex but it does do its job really well. upgrade when u got the $ n this might b a motivator for u to work harder ( my supplier oways find me to look at car like lexus , he say although he cant afford it now but at the car is his motivator to find more business ... we called this session as motivation trip )This post has been edited by santaclaus: Apr 6 2009, 11:19 AM |

the reason why i dont buy fakes / replicas is because i will never support the black market.
Vcds, Dvds i've stopped purchasing them when I was in college.. Im happy and proud that I own a TAG Heuer and would like to own a Patek 10 years down the road when i am 33.. Btw to all Existing TAG Heuer owners, go down to KLCC on the 7th - 12th and get a free gift! To those who wish to own a TAG Heuer they do have promotions there!

QUOTE(hcktr @ Apr 6 2009, 12:02 PM) nice one santa! yes! fossil watch has nice design. and its affordable. I own one and bought one for my gf. So both of us have a pair. Do you think fossil can give us commission because promoting their brand? haha. don't buy somethings that you cant afford, myself never buys fake stuff just to boost image lol. it would be so embarrass when you get busted. i never owned a luxurious watch but i plan to get a rolex GMT master or sea dweller in the future. at the mean time, i will stick with my fossil watch fake stuffs be it AA or AAA grade would never ever beat the original. Sometimes buying fake expensive watch i.e panerai and wear it makes you feel stupid. People always relate your assets with your career. For instance; if you wear 200k watch, definitely you must be super millionaire to buy it. But if you are just a normal makan-gaji worker like me, and suddenly you wear fake watch that is in actual price is 4 times your monthly salary, people will know its a fake or worst people will think you steal it or are some kinda taking bribe type of guy for a living. It doesnt make you look smarter, but dumber. offtopic: I have this one cleaner in my office own a FENDI shade. And its original. When i asked him, he said some Datuk give it to him. He was a part time body guard for this Datuk so one day he was in this Datuk's office, he saw the shade and Datuk just said - "If you want it, just take it, but dont sell it to anybody". And he wears it everytime he cleans the office. Imagine mopping a floor with "XXXX Cleaning Services" shirt and wearing original FENDI shade. LOL. |

Hi New to this thread and forum as well.....
totally agree with hcktr....if you can't afford an original luxury just go for a genuine average watch......because how bad it is...it's still original. |

I always believe it's best to get an original. Expensive? Buy something within your range/budget. Tissot and Seiko are good affordable watches.
If someone claims he/she has a Tag/Rolex and gets busted coz it's fake, imagine how embarrassed they must feel. What's so good about original? Quality, reliability and most importantly self satisfaction. Will you be satisfied if you own something fake that has no quality but bears famous brands?

I need to repair my Franck Muller as the knob to adjust the time/date is faulty. Is it even worth sending to anywhere in KL cause I doubt their shop in KLCC can do much other than send it off for repair. I don't even want to guess what repairing would cost.
Last time my Baume & Mercier needed a new leather strap and I had to get one from Singapore cause locally it seems most brands have only retail but no proper after sales support/servicing. Note: I've never bought an expensive watch, didn't pay for any of my watches basically handed down entry level models. |

In response to an earlier question I'd say the Omega Seamaster 300M is about RM6500 or so for the quartz movement and RM11-12k for the automatic movement. I'd say get the black faced automatic movement. It's nice and chunky. Lot of weight to it. Furthermore its what James Bond uses. Let the rest go for TAG-Heuer.

The Omega Seamaster and Speedmaster are about 41mm. Not too big. They look discreet yet big enough.

you really need to check out the proper size of the watch for your wrist from the counter.
big wrist + mid-size 36mm = looks small small wrist + 41mm size = looks big |

At the moment, shops generall say like 25%, not too sure how much more you can squeeze out of them. But yea, wondering if the sales will result in further discount.
Anyone? =p |

I don't think there is any special discount during mega sales. Free gifts is possible.
The standard discounts i think: Omega - 10% Oris - 25% Tissot - 10% Tag - 18% |

Did you check if it's an old model? Old models might have higher discount sometimes

As far as i know, the most we can get from Tag dealers are 18%-20%. Calibre S is a very sophisticated watch while automatics are generally watches that have the sweeping effect without battery. Calibre S can use the same numbers in the chrono dial to show the date and work as a chronograph watch. Truly remarkable.

Calibre S is more complicated and advanced in terms of technology. There are tons of automatics ranging from Rm4k to Rm13 i think. You have to decide whether you like Aquaracer, Carrera, Link, Monaco or the Grand Carrera

What do you guys think of this tissot
 as compared to  Although I'm not a motogp fan and I don't even watch motogp, the color of the watch and the design strikes me.. but for the tag heuer, almost same price.. but it's a tag.. Am still deciding whether want to get one of these .. between those 2, one is design another one is the brand name.. hard to decide.. |

I got to agree with dawson sim, Tag Heuer F1 can match any occasion. You must also decide whether the bezel on the Tissot watch is useful for you. IMO, the price is quite high for a Tissot.
For daily use, I think Tag will be more practical. |

About Tags, i love the Aquaracer, which for a Tag, is at quite a reasonable price and goes with about anything. Also, it is not too big and not too small

@ terencetoo
IMHO, steel strap goes well with casual, daily lifestyle whilst the leather strap blends in well with formal attires. and the rubber strap is a bit too kiddo-ish (if there is such a word) |

QUOTE(nokia2003 @ May 24 2009, 07:04 PM) @ terencetoo yeah dude, leather cost more approx rm10k~ for carera model....IMHO, steel strap goes well with casual, daily lifestyle whilst the leather strap blends in well with formal attires. and the rubber strap is a bit too kiddo-ish (if there is such a word) Well, for their steel strap....i dont see a nice and elegant pattern...all kind of looks....wired... For Rubber...i mean...u can say kiddy...but who come all those shops they are showing rubber strap? the trend now? a few hundred extra could get steel strap ..That is the prob....  |

Hi guys, can any "insider" help to share the max discount % that we can get for Tag and Omega? i would like to get a new watch soon, this info would be very very helpful. thanks so much in advance.The standard discounts i think: Omega - 10% Oris - 25% Tissot - 10% Tag - 18% |

the price is too expensive for IWC, but it is really a great watch! If for collection purposes, might as well buy replicas one =) one original IWC price can buy many replicas of almost the same quality..lol..

I'm eyeing for Invicta pro diver watch. It's oversea brand but not so much a brand here. what do you guys think
  The price is around RM580 It has miyota 21 jewel automatic movement, hardened mineral see through back and 2 years warranty. It's inspired by rolex submariner. Sounds good? This post has been edited by NumpXP: Jul 6 2009, 08:28 PM |

I just worried bout their brand reputation because nautica seems not a watch maker.For the seiko, this model is the best among others seiko category, but it just not that rugged. still confuse!!!! |

hi guys, need to get some info from you guys here.
a friend of mine owe me couple of thousands and i received an used omega speedmaster as part of the repayment. i want to know how much does it worth and if it is easy to sell this off. i have not decided it's value but i was told at least RM 4k. another issue is NO BOX & NO PAPER. a watch by itself. a quick search from the net, here is the details. QUOTE Omega Speedmaster - Michael Schumacher Watch ref number 3810.12 Movement: The movement for this watch is an Omega cal.1141, 45 jewel, rhodium plated, with Geneva stripes on the topside of the movement and perlage on the outside. Case, Crystal and Crown: The case is the familiar Speedmaster design, with the familiar faceted lugs, tachometre bezel and acrylic crystal.It does have an Omega logo embossed on its centre, though. Crown has an Omega logo embossed on the surface. Dial and Hands: The eye catching dial is done in deep yellow enamel. All markings are black enamel. Hands are black, for the main time display, hours minutes and seconds, while the chronograph hands are a deep blood red. the whole outside surrounded by a distinctive white minutes track, which is bears a distinct resemblance to a checkered flag. The whole dial has a very racy feel. Date of release 1996 Launched at Kerpens Karting Curcuit in Michael Schumachers home town    thanks guys in advance. if this is something good to keep i'll use it myself. thanks again.

QUOTE(ryansia @ Jul 15 2009, 12:39 PM) hi guys, need to get some info from you guys here. its a pretty old watch and without papers the value will depreciate, keep it if u still decide to sell it u might u loose more than half of the said value.

Omega plenty of fake around. Not like its a 1960s vintage. if its a real watch, no box no papers... resale value very low. my take is get the retail value and give it a good 75% down from there. Thats how much it worth if U do sell it to preown. (if the watch does have plenty of scratches, U are losing more value) |

QUOTE(patryn33 @ Jul 19 2009, 10:23 PM) U got to get treated leather, they don't stinks... i'll not spend a lot on watch, coz their functions serve same other watches.. to know the time..ANONIMO leather straps are found in many of their diver watches. special patent processing method to let leather endure sweat and harsh sea water. then again they cost alot! very much depends on how much U are paying. |

I used to wear those RM30 Casio digital watch when i was a kid.. since then, i dun have a watch and never wwear one since then..
After collecting bullets for so many years, recently I decided to get a Tag Heuer with a budget around 3k. I had visited Watatime in Sunway Pyramid, however, I couldn't get a TH since the one that suits my budget are either running on quartz or the older models. For a budget of 3k, I would rather put my $$ on an automatic than a quartz (just my personal preference ) .At last, saw this shop called The Moment and got my first ever automatic watch "Oris Williams Formula One Team Day Date 2008". Retail price was RM4100 but got 25% discount which equals to RM3075, just nice  Not many people talking about Oris, its a very good brand as Oris only produce Automatic watches Love my watch, admire the movement, adore the ticking sound (summore got vanilla smell from the strap )      Loving it |

So yes, i'll be looking at ard 10k-13k retail price Mont Blanc lor. 50% US$3k vs US$5K not much diff and U are getting a lot more from a watch. if U are aiming for RM$10-13K then is like US$3.7K. can only get u time walker day (no chrono leh), entry level watch. also running on a Mod ETA workhorse. no Display back. just paying for brand only. mont blanc also moving towards making all inhouse movement in the near future aiming to move up the lux ladder. http://www.watchseller.com/motibigda.html  or shop grey market, can definately get more than 50% discount! this Maurice Lacroix Master Reserve De Marche retails US$4200 now at US$1690. (its manual winding) http://www.collectorstime.com/new-watches.php Perrelet is a expensive brand (brand that invented automatic watch), a manufacture all inhouse movement. U can only afford the entry level watch. 3 Hands Date retails US$2690. I like the design Ref A1000/5 black face. U can only find a pic on webby. pretty low production if I recall correctly. only 1 place carry this brand. http://www.perrelet.com/fr/ QUOTE Precious Atelier SDN BHD neither not here nor there, might as well get a higher end of a mid range brand like longines. also uses ETA.Lot F35 / Explore Floor Starhill Gallery 181 Jalan Bukit Bingant 55100 Kuala Lumpur Can easily afford a Master power reserve, Chrono, GMT! at least with 1 complication and does have blue hands. dress watch like timewalker i dig blue! I rather go for a Power Reseve Indicator, U get to use it for freq than Chrono, GMT. http://www.authenticwatches.com/longines-m...n-bracelet.html bad thing with longines, movement are not decorate very nicely. Do have display back. http://www.prestigetime.com/item/Longines/...666.4.78.3.html or an Omega with co-axial escapement. don't have to service watch so often pretty much like every 10yrs. (can screw the display back in this case!) u do know most watches do need servicing every 4-5yrs. regular ETA with time, day. date maybe cost $200-300, complications cost more $$ and longer time. of course inhouse movement also means U can only get parts thru AD, servicing cost maybe higher if require part change. http://www.watchtime.com/2009/07/world-wat...-online-trends/ QUOTE Luxury: Audemars Piguet, Blancpain, Breguet, Girard-Perregaux, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, Franck Muller, Zenith, and IWC.

My dream watch is a Dornblueth. It's made largely by hand by Dirk Dornblueth, a second generation East German watchmaker. His watches are the best implementation of an aesthetic the Germans call the B-Uhr (Beobachtungsuhr) or Observation Watch. Prices start at RM 18k, which is why it will remain a dream for now. Here are some pics, as antidote against all the super sporty, techno sports watches on this thread.
   Added on July 24, 2009, 5:26 pmHere is a B-Uhr from Lange. Most German marine watches had this typical look.  This post has been edited by kotmj: Jul 24 2009, 05:26 PM |

Plain? Well it *might* look plain-ish (though I can't see how it is plain) because there are only two bridges visible. The three-quarter plate dominates. The three quarter plate used to be a big deal back when watches were assembled by hand, because to get all the wheels in the right position before capping them with one big plate required more work and skill from the watchmaker. As recently as year 2001 Dornblueth used to make them with antiquated pre-war machines (he would trade his watches for machines) and plenty of elbow grease. He is much wealthier now, and actually employs people. Back then, it was only he and his father working from home.
Added on July 25, 2009, 10:49 amBut really, Dornblueth is out of my league for now. If it wasn't for this year's economy, I could have a Grand Seiko through my bonus. But there won't be much of a bonus this year. This post has been edited by kotmj: Jul 25 2009, 10:49 AM |

Mind to share your JLC Reverso pic here? one of my dream watch. Too bad maybe this year can't buy new watch, got info this year bonus less compared to last year. I knew they are part of the swatch group. Glashutte Union is kinda in the lines of Omega.. To carry on the Glashütte name, I doubt they are getting ETA movement from swiss. Maybe heavily mod those movement. or maybe like Longines, getting exclusive movement from ETA (like the new retrograde watches). Leverage on their R&D and manfact. at least I would think they would leverage swatch distrubtion network, but still they only sell in 3 European countries. zero online except chrono24.com anyway.. their movement according to swatch http://www.swatchgroup.com/en/services/arc...the_collections QUOTE all contain ETA movements that have been made exclusively in Glashütte.

So at 1st glance to me it appeared plain. Added on July 25, 2009, 10:49 amBut really, Dornblueth is out of my league for now. If it wasn't for this year's economy, I could have a Grand Seiko through my bonus. But there won't be much of a bonus this year. Grand Seiko? the price pt also along the lines with Dornblueth. Bonus big big man! plain 1 already 280K yen b4 tax.. of course can get discount, and siam tax! add a date display the price jump so much! love their spring drive! http://www.seiko-watch.co.jp/gs/collection...tml?pid=STGF059 my in law wears a gold credor! Added on July 25, 2009, 11:19 pm QUOTE(bongeric @ Jul 24 2009, 11:33 AM) Hi to all sifu, need your advice, I am preparing to buy my very first watch which i need something tat looks formal ( preferrably metal straps) and will not be very expensive since i'm only a college student and all the function i may need is able to read time and date, budget rm500 top, can give me some advic specific brand or model and wat factor should i consider before i make a deal. Eg.If it is a genuine watch. Can try jap watch...Oriental Watch (usually cheaper than seiko), seiko 5 lower end but a bargain! http://www.pmwf.com/Watches/WATCHSALES/Sei...eSalesTable.htm certain russian watches also cheap, might have to up budget a little to get cool ones like the below. of course U can find those priced at rm340. http://www.russia2all.com/russian-watches-under-200-p2/  just steel, with date.. should be no problem, vostok Europe usually pretty good deal http://www.smirs.com/advanced_search_resul...&sort=2a&page=2 an American brand with a Swiss heart. http://www.bernhardtwatch.com/chronograph.html This post has been edited by patryn33: Jul 26 2009, 12:52 AM |

No! Not GQ. Please not.
Added on July 26, 2009, 2:14 am"Grand Seiko? the price pt also along the lines with Dornblueth. Bonus big big man!" No, not Spring Drive. I like manual wind watches, so it has to be the SBGW0001 for me. About RM 11,600 from Seiya.com. This post has been edited by kotmj: Jul 26 2009, 02:14 AM |

I really miss having a proper watch. I don't wear one now. When I was a student, my best watch was a basket case of a 50's Longines I bought off eBay. Gawd, I loved that thing. Here are some before and afters. When I received the watch it was all gunked up. Every crevice was filled with human gunk. The previous owner smoked; that smoke tarred the dial. Here, I cleaned off a corner of the dial.  The movement is the highlight. It's the Longines 23 Z. It's made in the 50's, so no CNC, CAD, ISO shit here. The human touch.  I found the watch very comforting to own and to wear. Especially in difficult moments. I looked forward to winding it every night.

Hello!! LowYatians!
I am about to get my 2nd mechanical watch! I fell in love with this watch the sales girl showed me last week it is a ZENITH GRANDE CHRONOMASTER OPEN EL PRIMERO XXT MENS WATCH Heres the link on how it looks like : http://www.authenticwatches.com/035.html I would like some comments from some sifus here I know zenith use to sell movements only then after that they started selling watches, this watch is using zenith own in-house movement. Is this watch worth RM 18.8k? because my previous watch was using an eta movement and many say it wasnt worth the money. Thank you:D |

Zenith under the new CEO (the Moroccan guy) has become something of a joke to those who knew the old Zenith. They were the most aggressive in making pocketwatch-sized wristwatches with the sort of extroverted design that appeals to teenagers. Yeah, I know, generation gap and all. But I'm in my mid to late twenties myself. Not that old yet.

If you want to read about this watch in German, you have to search for it under "Dornblueth" and not "Dornbluth". Notice the extra "e". The u umlaut (the two dots above the ü) are written as "ue" when you use a keyboard with no umlauts.

Congrads! Zenith do make good watch. although some ppl do love vintage Zenith. worth RM 18.8K??? hmm the way I see it expensive. On a good day in States, some outlet do let them go at 50-70% discount! of course is surplus stock and out dated model. 2 issue with Zenith is mainly cost associated 1) Problem with Zenith is they change the design freq, thus do not bring high resale value. not going to sell it, sure at RM 18.8K why not. if dare to risk it, surf around there are reliable grey market places to get better deal maybe at RM 16K or lower. 2) El Primero is a pretty complex movement, few watchmaker can do a good job.

But I'm no longer in touch with mechanics. I mostly manage people nowadays. Now those are even more complicated than old cameras.

Do it. some actually did leave to start up their own business or what not. having work with Germans/Finnish/Brits don't really know. a quick scan on timezone, plenty of haters, plenty of rumor too! Rolex, Hamilton, Omega etc.. judging from that, Fired is very likely! ya certainly no shame... he did tried his best. U find ppl loving their design. I like the crazy defy design too, but its just super expensive! Now I like their classic elite models. if the New CEO moves away from the crazy design.. prices of those wacky type may drop quite a bit. Can keep an eye on the LVMH friends and family sale postings on fatwallet.com. Even when they say no resale, U still find plenty getting exchanged! Oh... Mechanical engineer! no wonder U appreciate the mechanics in such detail. No Mechanical engineer here.. didn't have the passion until late 20s. few ppl actually look at watches the way U do. Most ppl its status, fashion, some even go to deep and say its a expression of ones character like the clothes they wear. Like Real. people are more complex of course! LOL.. Guess I need to find a way so I can start bottom up... This post has been edited by patryn33: Jul 28 2009, 01:50 AM |

Problem is, once you do mechanisms lose a bit of their magic. All that bling bling disappears and you see them for what they are: A simple spring coiled up, the simplest of gear trains, and the most incredible invention in mechanics ever, the escapement.some actually did leave to start up their own business or what not. having work with Germans/Finnish/Brits don't really know. a quick scan on timezone, plenty of haters, plenty of rumor too!
