EU brands its cheaper in Europe, but relative cheaper than SG esp at outlets.

Yes, I realise that the parts would have to be sent for from RGM, but what I was wondering is whether the local workshops would be willing to handle something they have probably never heard of, even for oiling and cleaning.

Anyway, I'm sort of swinging back to that Zenith EP Chronomaster 1969. I hear that it's possible to get good discounts in Singapore because, as it was put to me, "after all, Zenith isn't Rolex." As if that were a bad thing.

God. Well, maybe I shouldn't complain about such ignorance if indeed it helps me to get a good discount...

Zenith can get like 28-30% a few yrs back. Go grey and its more like 50-60%. Issue with EP is not many ppl can service it going back to zenith is safer.

I am sure JW will do RGM servicing.
