The Watch Thread - Part 3

[derekliu]

Ask u guys, I have a tissot watch with leather strap. The smell of the strap is abit smelly due to wear. Is it possible when there is a sunny day and I place the watch under the hot sun to toast it? Just like drying clothes. So that the leather strap will not smell so bad.

Nope, just junk the strap and either buy a OEM replacement form swatch service centre or a third party strap like Paros and Hirsch etc

I remember reading somewhere you need to clean bronze with chilli sauce.

Yup, read it too. But it is tomato sauce, not chilli sauce.

Nice watch, one of Omega's iconic design, very popular, so easy to sell off if you regret the purchase. This model in the link is the newer 8500 movement with Si14 so got 4 year warranty, but you should go to a boutique to try it on, as to me it is a very thick watch which is why i prefer the older generation of PO with the 2500 caliber movement.

Besides with the current pricing on these 8500 caliber Omegas i will rather cough up more $$ and swing for a Submariner or DDSD or even a Blancpain Fifty Fathoms; that's my current plan for next year anyway..

The Singapore Luxury Bazaar: Panerai PAM382 Bronzo Garlic Chilic Bath

I read it somewhere else before too just can't find it. there's some acids in there which helps.

it's actually to remove the patina IIRC.
