can any bros and sis here recommend a place where I can service/repair my Tissot visodate heritage automatic watch?

Dropped my watch few days ago from waist height on a wooden ground and it stopped moving. Suspect the balance wheel could be dmg.

TIA

rubber strap leh....

Ya but during the flash sale it was going for around 439 or lower i think (after applying shop discount and platform discount) .
Normally rubber strap also around 500 ish, i got mine from Japan and it was ard 580 after including the import tax.

I actually like the rubber strap with negative display better. negative display looks way cooler to me. And i tried the full metal strap one, it was too heavy for my liking and felt too chunky in real life cos the strap is actually quite thick.

How about getting a GW-B5600BC ($219) with composite strap, and change the resin bezel to a black stainless steel bezel ($42)

Can I ask hows SGP prices compared to Japan? I see Japan tax is at best 8% which is not that significant.

Looking to hoot an Emperor or maybe a Snowflake in a few mos
