nice leather... gator skin?

anyway.. just wanna find out how often do you send in your automatic watches for servicing?

Because my 25hr automatic watch is fast approaching 2 yrs... i'm thinking to send it back to 25hrs for servicing

Ostrich skin. My Seiko orange monster 6yrs still running well.

is it running too fast? running too slow? Power reserve not as long as when new? If the answer to all of that is a no, then no need to send in for servicing just after 2 years la. Most normal automatic movement can work for years without servicing as long as you don't abuse it, so maybe when you have had it for 4-5 years la.

not really. just that 7-10 days i will need to adjust the minute hand. thanks! ^.^

I don't see the point of buying original leather straps whether PAM or Tag or any brand. Unless its rubber straps yes, which usually also have the deployant clasp and brand name on it to go with.

On PAM, i understand the boutique gives no discount, at least when I inquired about the 305 at ION. What about the ADs, do they give discounts?

yes they do, Boutique don give discount

...On a side note, anyone know if there are 3rd party bezel inserts available for the sumo that has lume?
You can try yobokies, but chances are it's a stretch. Can try enquiring in WUS Seiko forum too, that's where people in the know probably are.

Nice PAMs exhibition guys!

Hmm already searched yobokies, they have bezel inserts with different font and color but not lumed ones sigh, although i might want to buy the clear display case back and bezel with smaller font for my sumo. Nah, hate asking questions on WUS, some pple there quite arrogant..

agree... the replies by some of the forumers there quite snobbish but that aside, its a great place for alot of info on watches.

my usual threads are Orient, Seiko and TH... especially those threads which allow watch lovers to showcase their collections.

I cant agree more. some of those WUS even looked down on asian, taking any chances to mock at us. very racists. bt I guess it happens everywhere in this world.
