yah went few yrs back that time was also at one of the better rates, 1sgd to 70+ yen then dropped to 1sgd to 50+ then was hovering there for quite sometime already.. now is abt 1sgd to 80 yen is really very good rate.

u go there whack agnes B, burberrys blue label black label longchamp, now even watches also quite worth it.

While shopping for a tough daily beater, I was specifically looking at ball and sinn, in the end bought sinn; but in the process ended up visiting almost every AD that carry Ball as the models I wanted seem hard to find in singapore, highest discount that was offered to me, even for LE piece was 30%.

US a good place to buy watches?

 

[ComicBoy]

adding one question:

Most watches I see in AMAZON.com, the warranty is from the Seller. not from the manufacturer. Anyone here bought watches from Amazon.com which came with mfg warranty?

Hi

I bought a Victorinox from Amazon 2 years ago cos they don't carry the model here in Singapore. Sadly, no warranty provided.

But so far, the watch has been working fine so no problem!

30% for an LE piece seems like quite a good deal.

Newbie here I got a omega watch , thinking of change the strip. Usually go where and change will be cheaper?

Hey guys. Been wearing my trusty G shock for quite a while, thinking of buying a "metallic" and more mature watch for myself. Budget 500 SGD. Not a watch enthusiast... Any suggestions? Many thanks!

metallic? do u mean metal bracelet? leather strap?

Can provide more details? sporty looks? dressier looks? strictly 500 or able to up a bit more? How big?

The few usual ones that come to mind includes seiko, orient, etc. Steinhart ocean 1 comes to mind immediately but that's always OOS.
