And another question:
You guys know where to find new face and hands for my Zodiac in Msia?
Preferably as shown in photos above.
Those photos are from ebay in Spore.
Thx again....

Hi guys,

I found another repair shop from Lowyat forum:
WSG located in Berjaya Times Square 6th flr

Has anybody tried their service before? His price is yet to be known. Need to take my watch there.
Hate to experince all this delayed and sub-standard service I read in this forum.

Worst come to worst, I might just go for the watchmaker in Summit. I saw him repair watches when I paid him a visit.
Just that you guys don't recommend him. ...

never sent your watch to number 3 shop. i used to sent my ulysse nardin watch. they charge me a boom price just for a small repair. service took months. after the repair, i realized the crown is not the original one just like before i sent to them. They do not admit that it was changed during the repair. after few times argue, they still dont want to change my crown back to original one. i suspect the mechanic took it. damn regret. never sent to this shop again. NEVER

I already sent to Summit watch repair beside ACE hardware.
[mod: do not mention of commercial entity here].... not bad and price quite reasonable.
Send 2 Zodiacs for service and battery change.

Not sure if it's the same Summit repair shop as mentioned earlier.
The name given was Mxtik Service ... but the one I send to is Focus Time.

Which watch repairer tells you they don't know how to service your watch... very rarely. If you take to bigger shop, most likely they will send in to authorize distributor on your behalf. They don't want to take responsibility, in case its not done properly they can still refer back rather than giving excuses..

Hi there

I am new here. Was wondering what are the chances of repairing such damages. Not a fancy watch but it means the world to me. Dropped it and got scuffs on the edge.

Chipi · « **Reply #133 on:** July 21, 2014, 07:09:59 PM »

Ooo.... that's not easy to repair.

Why don't you just send to watch repair shop and ask for their opinion. They might know ways to get it done.

Noooo

I dropped by Amcorp mall today...sat there for a while then only realised that they're closed on Mondays. Will drop by tomorrow again. Hopefully they can give me good news. Sigh

Yup I was at Amcorp for my watches too. They can't give answer.
So I took it to the one in Summit USJ. Pretty good service. My Zodiacs are running great.

Okay will try Amcorp tomorrow first and see what they say about it. If they don't advise getting it done will seek 2nd opinion from Summit USJ there.

Hi guys, was just wondering is it safe to send a AP ROO to the previously mentioned shops for servicing / repair? Anyone has an alternative for AP other than the authorized center? Thank you

I'm looking to repair my Zodiac Professional.
Saw on ebay, ppl are selling the new face and hands.
Is it advisable to change them? Will it reduce the value?

I went to the watch repair in Summit. He quoted Rm400 for complete overhaul and new leather strap.
(The quotation does not include new face and hands).
You guys think the price is reasonable? Newbie here. So need some good advise from you taikos.
Thank you in advance

There is one shop 2 floors above the car park but is normally closed. Another is just above the car park, a corner lot and not very impressive looking. This was recommended to me by a good friend who had retired from the watch industry. The owner is an elderly gentlemen with decades of experience in watch repairs. He doesn't do much due to age but has the networking. I just sent a 50+ years Titus (Swiss not HK) and servicing is rm 150 excluding parts. A Rolex is rm600 (excl parts). The son called to inform replacement parts cost extra rm100 as some gears are worn out. Quite happy they can still get parts for a 50 year old watch.

Hi, if want repair for Rolex, you can try at Amcorp mall first floor & shop name : Txx Sexx... look for Sam or the Boss John, they offer an reasonable charges. My Rolex GMT Master II coke also do service at there.

I sent away my tag chrono caf1010 watch for a new battery fitting in July 2013 through Beverbrooks Jewellers the cost was £83,early in January 2014 the casting around the stop watch on the frame came away causing the hands to jam.I took the watch back the Beverbrooks who sent it back to Tag for it repairing because I feel that the problem has occurred from Tag replacing the Battery.Tag has replied say it not their fault and they can repair it at a cost of £400. Beverbrooks also say it nothing to do with them,Any Idea on the way forward .

2014? I guess you can just opt for another shop or go to Tag directly.
