  1. hehe my question is exactly like in the topic.. how do you remove the bezel insert of yachtmaster? i scratched it and my dealer sent me a new one.. but for some reason i cant exactly remove it :S
  2. lol wat is it with u and the word crasy? LOL!
  3. Daily beater: SS Asian automatic Tag Heuer SLR chrono (asian version that screams "FAKE") Dress watch: Asian 7750 IWC Pilot Chronograph 3717 Smart casual: Swiss Breitling Steelfish SuperOcean on Genuine Rubber Strap Sporty watch: Swiss SS Rolex Yachtmaster "Perfect" Rolesium
  4. he quote me 380 (i cant name the name) but then i asked him why its so expensive.. and he said coz its the 28800 bph movement and other ppl charges 420-450 for the same watch he said.. but my dealer is giving it to me for 300 inc shipping so ill just get it from her..
  5. yeh i think what he means by rust coloured is brass or maybe even copper as copper is rust coloured (gold).. then he said its supposed to be silver? so yeh i think thats wat he meant.. not supposed to be brass but silver
  6. how much does this watch normally go for? because i heard theyre 420-450? but my dealer offered 300.. and eddie said that it probably is teh 21k version?
  7. hi i was just wondering.. what did paul change his website to? coz his wo-mart.com dont work anymore so if someone can pm me his latest site it would be appreciated
  8. wat about a 20mm leather straps? i have that lying around the house..
  9. i dont know but i do have a brown leather strap 20mm wide though dunno if this'll fit the 3717
  10. i'm sweet with the new asian valjoux.. i prefer that version actually... to be honest.. even the font isnt that bad.. i will change it though.. but i guess i just wanna go ahead with the 3717 rather than wait for the aquatimer.. for me the 3717 looks more elegant.. but other than the font theres no other flaws?
  11. latest news is that it WILL be cheaper than the costeau diver.. so hopefully its in the 270 range of price
  12. yeah i like the 3717.. i heard the font of the date and day wheel arent really correct.. but its not even noticeable.. but other than the datewheel what other flaws are there? thanks alot
  13. hey pugwash.. thats a nice watch.. im planning to buy this watch next up.. but im still looking for the valjoux day/date wheels.. how easy is it to install the day/date wheel? because if its easy i might just get the day/date wheel and install it myself..
  14. hi.. im interested in buying IWC watches.. but i don't know which one is the most accurate to the gen.. i like the look of this watch (below) but i'm not sure if it is even close to the genuine watch at all?.. costeau diver i heard is really good but then again.. theres too much flaw for something that expensive.. and aquatimer is not out yet.. so im tossing up between this watch or the new aquatimer.. so yeh can u pls tell me the flaws of the watch below? thanks alot
  15. i am up for 1.. but how much would this watch cost? 400 bux? coz if it is that expensive i cant afford it.. i hope its as much as the steelfish :S
  16. agreed with the zenith el primero.. if they can clone 7750s, ETA movements and everything.. why cant they try and clone the el primero movement? and actually make a zenith el primero watch :\
  17. yeh i guess.. i mean ive spent more than 400 bux already on these steelfish.. i dont think its worth of modding some more :S.. i think my last mod will be sending it to The Zigmeister for lume in august then thats it.. i dunno whether i should get carrera or link chrono :S
  18. well i dont know.. i like my superocean alot.. and definitely wont leave my collection.. it would be my daily beater for sure.. but then again... the carrera looks very nice i want to add it to the collection.. thts y im kinda confuse... but The Zigmeister told me that he wont be able to do anymore watch work till next month.. so i guess ic an get the carrera now and safe up for next month with zigs..
  19. hehehe thought id start the weekend wristwatch.. saturday 30/6 till monday 2/7... heres the watch that i'll be wearing this weekend.. a genuine cimier watch
  20. ouft im having the biggest dilemma of all time now.. i only have 200 bux to spend on watches right now ok.. but then im tossing up about how i should spend it.. i want to get my superocean relumed with superluminova.. which will cost me around $200 (bezel pearl, dial and hands).. but then king also offered me to buy a tag heuer carrera chrono for $200.. so i don't know which i should get.. the watch or the relumination.. which one do yout hink should i get first? i mean The Zigmeister wont have his relumination work done until next month anyway hehehhehe any tips would be welcomed
  21. hahah yeh my friend she works at an AD shes very good looking too.. she sold me the rubber strap.. she said she was supposed to get a series number off my watch.. but then yeh she sold it for me.. but yes as to wat ur saying about most ADs tend to view wats on ur wrist.. like if i come in with my steelfish rep.. do you think ADs can spot it as a fake? or they could only do it if they have the 2 steelfishes side by side? because with yachtmaster... you can tell for sure.. from the crownguards, from the window blablabla.. funny thing is ppl say the window box is thick on the rep of steelfish.. when i saw the gen at the AD the window box looks the same thickness to me.. but i didnt have my steelfish with me to compare.. the gen looks like its sparkling.. but it might've been just the lights.. so yeh..
  22. hahha i know.. its not so much about being called out.. coz most of the time ppl don't know what theyre talking about anyway.. its just that if i went into an ad with it in my wrist and them calling me out on it is embarassing if u know wat i mean.. lol but yeh i dont think many ad's know the model anyway.. i dont think they would remember every single model of breitling, rolex, tag heuer and all of their watches.
  23. Hi The Zigmeister, i really need your help.. i want to get my breitling steelfish superocean relumed.. but the only ones i know that can do them is you.. however i lost your website and your contact detail.. and i tried pming you but it says that you're not taking pms.. so can you please reply to this thread or pm me if you are not busy..? thanks very much The Zigmeister
  24. i paid 100AUD.. but then again they said the price will increase... come to my surprise though the leather straps are only 150AUD.. i was thinking the leather looks nice.. but then i thought to myself if i buy the leather then i cant use it for shower
  25. thanks viper mate.. ohh ok.. basing from what you said.. im guessing its a very minor flaw?.. one of those flaws that you really have to take a good look at side by side to realise.. or am i wrong? because yesterday i was so scared to even bring in the watch to the shop.. thought i was gonna get called out and make a fool of myself.. but now that i have the gen strap do you think i can start bring it everywhere? or id still get called out (this is without me taking my watch off and get him to open the back) ..
