go TS at ubi.

pay postage to send the watch to japan, wait for japan to quote u via TS, then u decide yet or no.

roughly around sgd800 +/- for polishing. not sure if purchase locally GS they will waive the postage anot, mine wasn't purchase locally via AD.
that's polishing of case and bracelet only? include servicing?

that's quite a steep pricing, not worth to do it unless the watch worth over 16k

will the price be the same if I fly over to Japan to do it?

Is the previous shop name was king wah? I remembered that he didn't like people to try his watch. But his discount is the best. Bought my first seiko watch from him.

the downtime is approx 2 mths, thats if u wanna fly twice, or fly there and hang around for 2 mths.

polishing shld be the same price, its the zaratsu polishing thats expensive and only the jippun kia can do.

can call them to ask if servicing is another cost, quite friendly and quite willing to ans your doubts.

want to see it in their smaller sized watches if possible. Their current 43.5mm one is a bit big for asian wrists.
