If the exchange rate is favourable, ask around the price of the watch you're interested in SG and compare. Just be careful at customs. Probably need to wear the watch back or risk getting taxed.

ok will do so, have a month before my trip

This has been discussed in previous thread... given the weak euro confirm is a good buy if you can get VAT refund and not get taxed on the SG side. stock availability may be an issue - check out the email addresses of the ADs and enquire on what's available, else you will end up with lack of choice.

Check out some of my previous posts on this topic:

Make sure you get a letter from the AD stating the watch they sold you and the specific serial number, italy customs may ask for the letter before approving your tax refund form.

All the best with your purchase!

Thanks for sharing will email them, hope the price is right and i can share some pic

I was in the exact same shoes not too long ago. In the end, my lifestyle dictated my choice, no matter how much I liked ALS.

If you're dressed up most of the time, I'd choose an ALS. But if you're in the creative industry like me, where people think you have a "special occasion" to attend when you wear a long sleeve shirt, get the casual/sporty Nautilus.

I'm glad I bought the Nautilus (first). It fits into 99.9% of my life and wardrobe.

Unless, you're playing in the bigger league Nautilus and ALS in the > $60k range, which would open up more choices like the sporty Zeitwerk.

My 2 cents...

Wah!!!! Congrats on being one of the first few in Singapore to own the new tudor!

More wrist shots and more importantly, please do a review on the new calibre movement

Agree..most of ALS watches are dress watches such as the saxonia.

Have not worn it yet, soon...
Due to the " long" waiting time for this watch, ended up buying a classic seiko monster gen 2 diver to tide over the itch just on national day
Wearing that now.

Amateur " review"

First impressions while sizing it at shop, watch head itself is heavy, slightly thick due to the see through case back and the watch face.

Watch diameter size at 40mm feels just nice for my wrist
Bracelet feels suprisingly light though it has sold end links, integrated bracelet means sizing can be a little tricky.

For comparision, my old black bay feels heavier on the wrist.

Very stealthy look that doesnt shout out loud that its a tudor,
flies under the radar. "Wolf in sheeps clothing analogy"
Can be mistaken for something much cheaper

Cant comment much about the movement as im not a technical person but it looks rather simple, not much decoration lol
Perfect if you dont want to attract attention
Date window is a bit small.
