I ordered another Laco..

[toffeesthings]

Miyota mOvements pilot no lume coating rite?

Haha, Bro, Miyotas not that pathetic lah!

[toffeesthings]

Remember to post pics of the 'Rare' A.LOONG & Son watch when you get it..lol.hahahaha

Bro, A.Loong & Son is your brand lah! You must make first then sell lah! Oh, here's the update on my Audemars Piguet 'franken' watch. AP got back to me and said can change dial and hands but declined to mention price, say must bring to service centre and see the watch condition first, then can quote price etc...
Sigh, I think go there and pass/show them the watch sure wait to kena chop carrot one. Unless some other repairer can source original parts like dial/hands etc!

The Laco's most faithful but I also like the Stowa look. Sadly, its a fair bit more expensive.
Anyways, Bro Leslie, you're tempting too many of us with your shots!
The Miyota casing still not as nice as the ETA one. The ETA one has sharper lugs but that's not the main point, the ETA version has the famed onion crown. Looking at the Miyota crown, it's as is if Laco had reversed the crown!

Bro.. Honestly, I've tested the ETA 2801-2 Handwinding and after 3 days.. it still remains on the exact min hand spot as my Seiko clock.. So I can say that the ETA version is of a better quality than the miyota version.. I like the ETA version because of it's domed glass which is also anti-reflective..

Bro.. I think A.Loong & Son watches are a big hit with the older folks.. Must start the marketing plan with the grass loot leeders.. haha

You got your AP liao? But how come must change hands leh? sorry i did not get the updates on your new watch.. i only thought that you wanted to do something to the U-Boat..

[leslie]

Haha, here's the story bro. I got a white dial AP Millenary with blue numerals and hands but AP also has the same model that comes with a more military looking black dial. Given my obsession with military inspired dials, I came up with the idea of getting the dial and hands replaced : )

[feilong108]

Bro Toffesthings....i think for AP...better to do the modifications by the service centre...at least u know 100% safe...100% orignal parts..and got valid warr in case need to go back to bang table if anything goes wrong....

Go down to AP service center to get the quotation 1st lor...

Oh.. So you wasted how many watches to get that AP?

Ya lah.. if you own the A. Loong & Son.. I can help you modified also..

[toffeesthings]

Haha, not too many lah. Oxy-moronic as it sounds, it was a rather affordable AP. My PP Aquanaut is still the most expensive in my collection, followed by my VC Overseas. That's why like Bro Feilong, no more watches for this year and I think many years to come. And if I buy a piece, must sell a piece also. Owning 36 pieces borders on the absurd and to go beyond that for a regular joe like me, will be insane!

[feilong108]

Bro Toffeesthings...can always expand to about 50 pieces...hehehe.....
