The Watch Thread - Part 3

Any shops can change the minute hands of the Seamaster?

I check from Ofrei the hands cost about $35.. Maybe can buy then go to the shop ask them change? The red marker wash out liao not very nice. If can change bezel and dial even better.

List is EUR 5600 including VAT. Best to get from a country with the highest VAT to maximise ssaving

Yup, seems like it. There was a MO for this here at HWZ: http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/mass-order-corner-251/mo-marina-militare-44mm-47mm-watches-2352146.html

The NATO straps seem quite nice. Wondering if I should get it for my Pam. Only worry is the additional thickness it can add to the wrist.

Cheers!

Ya homage... 1st glance, it looks like PAM 90 but instead or bar, they use round so I thought another PAM model.

Hi guys, Im currently having my Tudor watch being analyzed by the technician now at orchard Rolex service center. They said my watch requires a min amt of $680, but I think prob will be in excess of $1k. He said will called back later. I bought it at ard 4-5k about 5 years ago. Shd I go for the repair or just leave my watch alone?? Worth it?

I'm really interested in one of these. But it has an in-house movement made by RGM, a tiny American company. Am I right in suspecting that it would be next to impossible to get it properly serviced in Singapore?

A good(?) demonstration of the "hidden" cost of owning mechanical watches?

It's this model. Watch fell onto the floor several times. Didn't take good care of it.. Crown drop off and lost, internal mechanism needa be replace, wear and tear.. watch not functioning properly. had been spoil for 2 years + alr. decided to repair it and give to my son. Anyway the total amount for repair is $925. They gonna replace my crystal, polish the entire watch. well take about 5 weeks. Guess its ok ba. Just like servicing a car.
