Big Time iirc is the authorized Distributor for Orient watches in Singapore.

But of course, you can head down to Bencoolen and Mustafa to see see look look, they have very nice range of Orient watches there. but if you are talking about Orient Star watches, then Big Time is your best bet.

 

[cyrenic]

Yes, Big Time for Orient Star.

Mustafa has some Stars. But Big Time also has Seiko JDM hehehe.

 

[AyuReady]

Orient watch ftw!

If I not wrong price going upwards for some popular models but generally orient as a brand have quite good discount from mrsp. The official website prices usually have like 30% off

Can also look for AD across the causeway.. Their prices can be quite attractive because of exchange rate, that's what I heard.

Big Time iirc also has some Orient Star JDM.

Bambino iirc has 3 versions:

V1

V2

V3

The pricing for Bambino watches in Singapore has increased alot in the past one year. in early 2015, it was possible to get it around 150 sgd but now its like 250?!

if its in JB, avoid KSL and City Square, as the watch pricing imo already "normalized" with Singapore pricing...

can go further into JB and visit malls like AEON or Jusco

now I'm waiting for my company retreat to Pulau Penang and hoot this particular Orient Star standard date

Which other KS watches you have?

Not a cheap watch, but really quite cool, the design. You a Mustang fan?

Seems like V1 commands a premium, but not as much as the cream dial blue hands V2. My friend told me can get around $170-$190 in Msia.

I wanted a more Bauhaus style one, so V3 for me. Stupid short hands though. Just a bit longer then it'd be really quite perfect (keeping in mind the price la).

There's also V4 btw, with hand-winding and hacking movement. But bigger. And that red second tip is so odd...

Not really a fan, but I do like the design of the watch. I've funded the Ventus Black Kite, Calligraph Duneshore, Egard Passages.

It looks so much better in natural lighting!

very nice the 4th Gen... the improvements are pretty obvious from the photo.
and Orient going back to the roots of Bambino, which made it so popular with people who want a minimalist watch.
- aesthetic improvement to the date window.
- bolder date font.
- Broad hour markers.
- back to narrow hour and minute hand. *thumbs up*
- Fatter and thicker crown

hopefully, for V5, Orient can remove the words "ORIENT" "Automatic" and "Water resist"
and maybe replace water resist with 1bar, 2bar or 3bar"

At the current rrp of US$1,495, its not worth getting already.
