[Azrielsc]

Izzit worth it to hoot this?

Pam 90? Thought it is just a normal dial and not carbon fiber and I thought there would be minute markers on it? If you like it, why not?

Hello everybody, just want to check if anybody has experience buying a watch from 'bodying.sg'? Or have anybody heard of any good or bad feedback about them? It seems like they are a company based in Malaysia. They seems to have good prices for Tissot watches. TIA for any commend.

Just an update to the above question for those interested in 'bodying.sg'. Bought a tissot prs 516 auto crono from them. Their customer service is very prompt and helpful. Check stock availability before buying online. Delivered by FedEx express service from KL. Took 2 working days to arrive, plus clearing customs. Package arrives with bubble wraps and in excellent condition. Watch is 100% genuine with AD chop on warranty card. Comes with 2 years international warranty and can claim warranty in SG if needed. Price is 30% off AD price in SG.

Actually, is it good to try to polish off the scratches on polished surface by yourself ah? Haha.

Got a few scratches on my PAM 312 bezel after a month of wearing! But I've been trying to ignore them so far.

Don't even know how I got them in the firdt place.. lol.

For polished surface, ok to DIY. I used car polish to do the job. Swee swee.

But if it is brushed finish, don't DIY. I will become gim gim polished surface.

Yup, it is fine to polish it with a cape cod cloth, if it is light scratches. U can tape up the brushed surface so that you don't accidentally polish them too.

Hi guys, I need HELP!
I have a Citizen Eco-Drive Perpetual Calendar WR100, and I lost the Crown!
The part where you pull out and adjust the dates/timing/calendar/alarm Etc.
Anyone knows where I can get a replacement / get it fixed? Cause it'd be a waste to dump it aside
Thanks In Advance peeps!

 

[Darkangle2]

Bring back to the service centre?

Bring back to the service centre?

Well, it will turn out to be costly and would take up quite a lot of time, which is what I want to avoid..
Does anyone know of shops that can replace thy watch's crown? :/

 

[patryn33]

It is not a part that is flooded on the market. If u don't mind any crown u can do it outside. Note it may not the the right style etc.

 

[KohChris]

b4 u use cape cod, rmb that cape cod is abrasive - will cause small swirly hairlines and ar wipeout for polishing

 

[staedtler_07]

Anyone bought stowa watch before? Was wondering which is a cheaper method to pay, by swift code transfer or paypal.

Yeah and better keep it in a ziplock bag or something to prevent water or any foreign materials from getting in.

Official service center is probably the best bet.
