Yes, you need to pay GST after the watch is back in Singapore. To avoid paying, you will require a permit. (I chk before, custom reply as below)

 GST-paid goods that are sent out from Singapore on a temporary basis may be re-imported into Singapore without payment of GST. In order to qualify, you must prepare the temporary export [OUT (TCI)] permit prior to the export and produce the permit together with the goods to the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) officer during clearance. For the re-importation, you should apply for the corresponding re-importation [INP (TCI)] permit and produce it together with the goods for clearance at the inward checkpoint. For more information on the re-importation of goods which are temporarily exported, please refer to here.

5              To assist with your permit declaration, you may appoint a local freight forwarding agent who is registered as a TradeNet® user with Customs or a TradeNet® service centre to declare relevant permits and account for the GST (if any). A list of these freight forwarding companies can be obtained here

I think the lugs on your red Sea-Dweller are more proportionate for its case size compared to my 116600 and the SubC.

That's a beautiful shot!!

Thanks bro. The slimmer lugs was another push factor for me to get this.

Can give me some of your muscles? I need that to fit the watch better!

A look at how ALS painstakingly bevels and polishes every minute part. Partly why the pieces cost so much, but still less than a Patek :)
