Post by: yaptimming on May 01, 2009, 03:15:33 PM: Hi :D A bit on myself? My first mech watch (a graduation gift) was an Oris big crown, i got hooked but I only started collecting watches for the last 4 years in earnest..I collect both vintage and new, and in the family treasure chest is a couple of Glashuttes (My favorite vintage), Girard Perregauxs (1 for me, 1 for mom and 1 for the wife), an old gold sealed Hamilton (1st online purchase), a Rostok 18k pocket watch, a Omega Geneve, a Rolex precision, a vintage Longines TV case, a Rado Diastar (a flea market bargain @ RM200), a Bucherer alarm, a vulcain skeleton, Poljots Chronos & a couple others... As u can see, i spend way too much time on ebay and in vintage watch shops :o (but i get a pass card from the wife by buying her a watch every year ha ha) ;D My newer stuff is the Tissot T touch, Omega Seamaster, Tag and a Movado

Where do u guys shop the most? Where is the best place to service your watches? I use a guy named ..... in Amcorp mall for basic servicing and .... in PJ 33, he is ok but I think they outsource redials/major repair to unknown 3rd party. Any advice on places for reasonably priced redial and major repairs? Kinda prefer to deal with a watch repairer/re dialer directly..

My latest project is a Seiko Lordmatic LM that was my dad's in the 80's that i getting restored in memory of him. I ve currently sent 4 repairing the movt and replacing a cracked crystal :Cheers:

Thanks! Tim

My guess is that :
A) one has nothing better to do but time on one's hand
B) trying to clock-in more post (maybe a seller of sorts)
C) one that doesn't know the time (in this case, year) :Laughing_on_floor:
