Wat abt cooking oil? I know u guys recommend olive oil, coconut oil etc. But wat abt vegetable oil? Those knife or duck brand kind. Cos olive oil is expensive, i use it sparingly. N where can find coconut oil?

use oil on XXX :eek: .. I thot indian oil best !! :s13:

u mean on strap ?? never use before but if purely oil knowledge ..

Knife is palm with sesame and peanut (got smell wor) .. duck is higher grade palm with soya , if for strap .. can use lower grade pure palm .. their grade difference is on saturated fats.

Oilve if want cheaper , buy pomace .. those virgin jin ex .. more for eating

coconut oil can go Mustafa or indian provision shop .. have a lot .. but coconut is good for frying wor .. fry your strap ? :eek:

If you are referring to leather care for your watch strap, may I suggest;

http://www.leather-care.sg/product/strap-shine-by-dicon/

It is a combination of beeswax and mink oil. I'm personally using it on all my leather straps and even shoes. Works like a charm!

We spend so much $ on buying nice leather straps for our watches, this is a small investment to maintain the strap so that we get to enjoy it longer.

Mine was running slow by 25 sec due to magnetism.

They took in and rectified it in 2 weeks pretty steady I think even provide the print out slips for u to see the regulation results and pressure test

Free during warranty. But make sure ur warranty card got the AD identification. Blank one I think they won't take in

Ref 3570.50, will I still be charged for service even if it's under warranty? Seller was certain that service would be free. Maybe can tell the service staff that the watch running 2, 3 mins slow? Lol not sure if that would work.
