Thanks, so does Chrono right.
so when buying need to factor in 7% GST into the price.

they got an option already factored in the tax, can take it for reference.

and also try google for joma code, sometimes can find 50 usd off.

Buying any item more than $400 will incur GST, can get seller to under declare but not all are willing. Those willing will ask you to bear you own risk when item is lost (Insurance for Item cost vs declared value). No point to save the 7%

If overseas store have option to pay 7% (meaning they process it for you. e.g. Ebay). better to pay it. If no such option. Be prepare to pay another $15-$20 as admin fees (Charge by company such as Fedex, DHL) when items deliver to you.

Offering another perspective on watch winders -- the concern is overwinding -- no one discourages the wearing of an automatic watch due to concerns of the mechanism deteriorating.

For the convenience of having a watch winder, it is important to get a quality winder with suitable settings, such as adjustable Turns Per Day (TPD), and direction (CW or CCW or alternating). Some only operate during daylight hours, and let the watch run down in the evenings.

Set the watch winder to the lowest wind setting, and increase if the watch can't maintain its wind state.

(Perpetual calendars from certain brands come with a winder; you can trust that those movements (or derived) can take years in a winder.)

How to know if it is over winded? I just bought one of these watch winder. The winding does stop on it's own after a while but I'm not sure if it is really programmed well or it will over wind.

You can't really over wind a self winding watch.
There's a slip clutch to prevent it from over winding the main spring.
You may over wind a manual watch but forcing it when you feel resistance.
Google it.

When someone say over wind means you allow the watch to work even though you're not using it. So service interval may come earlier.
The gears are constantly moving. Cause friction, means wear and tear will occur.
But watches in this modern age, no problem la.
My old rolex 1970 till today no service. Cause no need.
