The Watch Thread - Part 3

Try Skywatches the shop is in People's Park

hi,

Thanks! I went to their website and does not seem to have that model. Anyway, i will try to call them and ask.

Would it be cheaper if i buy it from overseas like Ebay or overseas site?

Jaeger le coultre reverso (squadro for square)..
The ultra thin one is just so irresistible.

I agree! Here's mine, without the "legs"!!

Strap literally fell apart after using it as a daily beater. Now I am slowly polishing the case and researching for a new strap!

The original strap has a plastic lug piece on one end that fits to the casing so that the strap is angled at 45 degree.

Any ideas?!

Thanks! It is my dad's actually. Handed it down to me with a torn strap and its case scratched to kingdom-come, because it was a daily beater! Haha!

Now using Cape Cod to polish most of the scratches out and thinking of getting a dremel to get the really deep scratches out...

Headache!!

bodying.com.sg sells for $379... anybody any comments on bodying? i was able to buy a discontinued g-shock from them but at a hefty price. are they more expensive but able to supply older models not easily found?

delivery takes 5 days for me which included a public holiday, so i think pretty fast.

Hi,

I saw bodying as well but also not sure about the reliability of the site. Went google search also not much comment on it.

nice! nothing beats a handed down watch from a dad. Great sentimental value. u might want to consider bringing it for a professional polishing though. wouldn't want to damage it using a dremel yourself.

Thanks! I dropped the idea of polishing it... the scratches does give it a bit of character!

Dropped off the destroyed strap at a strapmaker and he will be cannibalising the OEM black plastic at the end of the strap and customising a new honey-brown croc strap. Have to wait 2 weeks!

After telling my dad what I did, he asked if he could have the watch back!

He wants it back for what?
He scared you damage the watch? Haha

 

[swirlsurfer13]

Hey all, heading to Barcelona for a short trip. Any recommended watch that I should check out? (i.e. cheaper to get from there)

 

[Azrielsc]

Nope, I think he wants it back because it is a "new" watch! Polished with a new strap some more!

Told him that it is his Father's Day gift!

And nothing says "I love you son" more than "Give me my watch back"

Thanks.

Hahaha! Well, he can have his JLC back as long as he doesn't touch my Panerai watches!

I still hope to "borrow" his JLC once in a while though.
