I think it should be showing 7:30. Each segment is 15 mins. Like most 1 handed watch i seen on net. However yet to see 1 which is 1 handed and 24hrs. :laugh:

hi guys..sorry MIA for so long..glad to see the forum still active!!
Defakto is by the son of Thomas Ickler. I think he is early 20s or so.
I see similarities of the good case, since we all know their cases are one of the best out there. Interesting timepieces indeed.
Reminds me of Meistersinger which is the more "luxury" style. Defakto's range seems more casual and fun. Personally have yet to touch/seen the watch in person yet.

You guys might have or not have heard of this new swiss brand called EDW or Edmond Watches.
Am bringing in 2 pieces as a dealer in Singapore as well. Cool concept with the lock-ED crown. When watches are here, will personally take a few photos and review as well.
can remove the link if you want to. :)

Hello again! I would need some more advise before commiting in to this watch... looks like I am being "poison" by this... hahaha so many other "poison" floating around this forum, how to find a deep enuf pocket to "cure" this "poison". :Confused: They ship by Fed Ex and it cost EURO 40.
Question 1: Is Fed EX ok? shipping to malaysia.
Question 2: Are there any other duties / taxes / cost involved after arrival in msia?
Please share your shipping / import experiences with me so I could "cure" my "poison" soon. :Cheers:
-
Answer 1: My Laco shipped from Germany by FedEx to Malaysia only take 3 days
Answer 2: Watches are duty free in Malaysia
-
You can always count on FedEX.
They even deliver to the moon ;D ;D

Hi cheese!
Question 1: We never had any problems with shipping watches to Malaysia.
Question 2: WE have never heard about additional costs like duties etc. As ck77 says, watches should be duty free in malaysia.
As we are a young brand, we do not have shop in Malaysia. Due to this fact, we offer all our international customers a 14 days give back option on every Defakto watch .
Please write me, to [email protected] if you have any questions!
Looking forward to hearing from you

Wow a reply from Defakto ;D
Welcome to MWF :Cheers:
p/s maybe we could ask Defakto to design a custom MWF watch for us :Dancing_banana:
-
Ya, maybe the mod can consider to get Defakto to design our MWF watch??? :thumbsup:
-
wow, a reply from a watchmaker, that's the first i've seen. good stuff :)
-
Well, when I first read the thread earlier (afternoon) I could not believe my eyes and could not confirmed at the first glance.
What more could we ask for, the watch maker himself.
Welcome, Raphael Ickler

Wow a very surprise reply from Raphael Ickler of Defakto Watches. Thanks for the reply. I guess the forum members are very interested in a MFW custom by Defakto. I am very excited to get my hands on the watch soon. So which of the 4 will I be getting? :thumbsup: Suggestions? :angel: I have already 1 in mind. So this thurs will go off to the bank and wire $$ then lay back and wait for the watch to arrive. The site mention 1-2 weeks in shipping. :Praying: Will certainly try to make it for the next GTG after I get the watch. :Dancing_banana: Raphael Thanks for the reply.

Yan...nice to know you are bringing in edmond watches..if possible, pls pm information regarding model available and prices. want to know more about this brand. Thanks in advance. Sorry for hijacking this thread :laugh:

very impressed that Mr Ickler took his time to reply in our tiny forum.
so maybe we might have just found our forum watch? :laugh:

Hello everyone!
The idea of a custom DEFAKTO - MWF version sounds very interesting, and we would really like to work together with you. :Cheers:
Do you have more information about that forum watch?
Looking forward to hearing from you
Kind regards
