The Watch Thread - Part 3

wat's the standard discount for tag in SG? 20%??????

15%
10 char

 

[balzebub]

this may be a long shot, but anyone has any diamond paste?
need a little to polish off a pretty big scratch on my 1938 chrono..

Scratch, scuffs and dings add character to a watch, don't let it bother u la. Just wear it and enjoy it. Years down the road send it for a full servicing and polish and viola good as new

15% at boutique but other AD can bargain a little one for more discount. Tag IMHO best to buy used or at deep discount if possible. Nice design and decent quality but really really poor resale value.

Why not let a professional do it? Scratched the crystal?

i googled abit. seems like can self rub it off

HOW much to change to original tag heuer leather strap anyone noes

emm no idea, but sure not cheap one, Swatch wanted to charge me 400 plus to put on a original omega leather strap. So tag should be in the 300 range liao. So not worth it la, even the Omega boutique people feel it's silly to buy their original straps and deployment buckles unless you have lots of cash to throw around. Just buy a good 3rd party strap for 100 plus.

if its sapphire crystal, you need to use some kind of diamond paste, but further research will tell u that it's damm difficult to do properly.So unless you have done it before, trying to DIY will probably end in disaster. So send it to a professional or consider swapping in a fresh crystal.

 

[hoppie]

i'd prefer a pam over a tag anytime.

PAM please. i have a TAG, totally no resale value and does not age well
A PAM is a classic and looks nice on all occasion just a change of the Leather Straps

 

[Cubbie]

Yeah, finally got my first PAM after saving up so long

Anyone can guess the model? Time to hoot straps, anyone knows where to get nice strap in SG? Should i go to TANG buckle or stay with Deployment buckle and hoot those Deployment leather strap? Seems uncomfy leh for deployment type

recently I met up with one of my Jakarta clients who is having similar model as yours.... he changed the strap to navy blue rubber strap with deployment. look quite nice.

the strap looked something like this:

 

[Cubbie]

i think the PAM looks nicer on Leather, i have the original rubber but don do the PAM justice, makes it looks cheapo

Anyone uses the original Rubber strap on PAM?

But if working in environment that sweat alot better stick with Rubber.

It's a diver watch right can dive with it on rubber.

is that a PAM380? How is the quality from panatime? I almost got it from there, your 380 should be TANG buckle right? Do there have it for Deployment buckle, my 164 is a deployment type.

Actually abit regret buying the 164, should have gotten 111 with sandwich dial, but prefer a automatic. Maybe next hoot go for Black Seal PAM292 PIG dial! must find from second hand market the J series

haha..i also regretted not getting a sandwich dial...now aiming either 372 or 351 cos i really want those gold hands...

as for the strap, its tang buckle...i find the strap quite value for me and quality is good, but better to wait till they have sale. I didnt explore but there should be options for deployment buckles..i've bought from strapcode before as well, they seem to have more options.

 

[Cubbie]

Oh yeah! The gold hands sibei slurp............

I want to buy the Radiomir but 45mm, now 44mm already huge liao haha

i at the Ion boutique, the petite lady sales wearing a polish blackseal Radiomir!
