Post by: ckng515 on June 05, 2010, 09:37:46 AM: I tried once to get a quotation from a watchmaker for restoration.
It costs me a bomb, close to RM11k. :o :o
so i guess, it's good to let it remains in this for a while. ::)
Btw, it's my dad's collection not mine, so i also pura-pura.. :P

Cheers,

Post by: chrisyen on June 05, 2010, 11:31:25 AM: Rm11k is slaugthering u man...
I think to restore this will cost u around rm2-3k!

It depend on how u want to restore it.
No relume just cleaning
no repaint dial
do not need to change part
then could b less than rm2k

Post by: ckng515 on June 05, 2010, 11:53:03 AM: tht's the quotation from the watch maker from rolex,
saying that the part is broken, need to change in order to make the watch ticking again.
