k2 watch shop is a good start...
mustafa has some seiko's too but dont expect any technical know-hows or customer service...
carousell is a great place too if you are comfortable with online shopping

Win watches @ bencoolen. Mentioned alvin for special price.

I think it reacted with sweat? OMG...

Always avoid bronze watch with bronze case back. Go for those with SS case back. I also got this before, then faster sold off the watch liao. To be honest, its not hygienic due to the sweat reaction with bronze.

Looks fantastic. But don't know why they bother with that stock bracelet

I happen to be there yesterday and they don't seem to have much selections. Is it cos not all of their offerings are on display? Just quote model number and they will produce 1 for me to see see? Thanks ah

Hi bros, any idea if Omega boutiques will accept service requests or will I have to bring it directly to the service centre?

Same thing happened to me even with a SS case back. I didn't think much of it, can anyone confirm if it's hazardous?

Not easily wash off your skin right...

 

[coern]

don't think it's hazardous.

"As it does, you might occasionally notice a bit of green on your skin – from my experience, this happens mostly in the early stages of the formation of the patina, while the stable outer layer is developing, and it tends to diminish as time goes on."

Tudor/Rolex should have done the appropriate risk assessments before producing such a product...

Haha I see. I very shy one, not committed to buy just want to beo beo so I'm very shy to ask people to take out for me.

But I went to 3D and asked to see a Seiko Sumo, and wow it's damn heavy and compact and solid, very different from my sec school Casio metal watches.

Omega boutique slower. Direct faster.

WOTD.

First time out with a bronze encased watch. I for one, am looking forward to the patina.
