bro, is the strap original with the watch? or if not, where to get it? I've been looking for a real fabric 'sailcloth' strap for quite some time

Hello watch lovers.
Do anybody have a reputable shop that repair watches?
I want to repair my longines but if i send to service centre, confirm ***** expensive. It is a Self winding mechanical chronograph watch.
Just trying to find some alternatives.
Thanks guys!!

A good watch which do not require much adjustment will be Grand Seiko Quartz. NOT trolling.

Not just Grand Seiko - just google "high accuracy quartz" movements e.g. Citizen' A660, Bulova's 262kHz, ETA Precidrive quartz - some of which can be had for about $500.

Then you also have the amazing GPS watches that arguably are the most accurate (no matter where you are) on earth.:s12:

I dont believe good quality watch should get spoilt so easily and quickly. That time so many reviews abt tissot here tot its good so go buy who knows got cheated few hundred dollars. My monies more well spent getting a citizen eco-drive or even a Gshock. Until now my citizen lasts so much longer with drops and bangs no problem. Makes me wonder if swiss brands really worth or not. Or just chop our carrots only. Maybe the angmohs think asian getting affluent so target the asian mkt chop gaogao who knows how good really is the quality.

if you define quality as reliability then g-shock it is.

some others see quality in the materials, finishing, delicacy in the complication, accuracy.

others mistake quality from brand imagery created from sheer marketing and customer experience, but that's another debate that can fill up its own thread ;)

You wanna try k2? You can ask Mr. Goh if he can service your watch before you go down. Drop me a PM, I'll send you his number.

Hi this strap is the original strap and comes with the watch.:s12:

The other option is steel bracelet which i find too chunky for my liking
