I loved your KS high beat!
Was my first time holding one as well. Most of the time just looking at it online.

Erik - Nice meeting you up at our gtg.

Now that you mentioned about the omega crown, let me check around and revert,
Remember, we met up one watch repairer during our gtg. Maybe he could help?

By the way,the crown is stainless steel / 18k gold / gold plated?.

It was quite dim the other night to notice the difference

dc
I am almost a recovered watchaholic, but last checked shows only 70% recovered. How?

Have you tried to price the crown at Swatch service center in KL?
If you plan to keep the watch for a long time to me i think its a worth while purchase to have an original crown though it might cost alot.

@dc not 100% cause wifey just stole it n went of to work..but i think the watch itself is 14k gold?? but not sure at have all the info on my other compy tough..
but gold watch so def want atleast goldplated crown.. such a cheap watch so 18k crown worth more than the watch itself :)

@t78 So far never sold a watch so I want to keep em as original as possible (within reason and budget) :)

@everyone It was great meeting you guys hope to meet you all again in a gtg or just a few of us for lunch :)
