Anywhere I can find watches of similar designs at a cheaper price point or in local shops?

This guy **. ** price for a cheap mod.

Case+Dial+mod fee=his ripoff price watch

78 + 38 + 20 = 136SGD for DIY compared to his 550 SGD excluding GST.

Leftover you can do 400SGD leather strap.

Special thanks to Bro Yatto for this hoot -

Unboxing

The Introduction

Close-up of the Dial

Caseback with a small window - sorry, photo taken with iPhone and couldn't get a closer shot

Mandatory wrist shot - I think it fits my wrist quite well!

The mechanical stop watch .... which is super cool!!

Now to look for a nice strap to go with this as the last hole on the original strap is still a bit loose for me.

Thanks again Bro Yatto!!

jin elite...cost how much?

If I were you, would be more worried about KKJ kena radiation than watch kena radiation.

Radiation from airport scanners: The dose we actually get is low -- ScienceDaily

'Measurements made on two scanners in active use at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), as well as seven other scanners not in active use at the time of measurement, found that full-body scanners deliver a radiation dose equivalent to what a standard man receives every 1.8 minutes on the ground, or every 12 seconds during an airplane flight.

Put another way, an individual would have to receive more than 22,500 scans in a year to reach the standard maximum safe yearly dose determined by the American National Standards Institute and the Health Physics Society, according to AAPM Report No. 217, "Radiation Dose from Airport Scanners."'

asymmetry of information is always a good way to make money - look at all the "consultants" out there for various schemes like PIC...

Buy the parts from yobokies or 10watches, then bring to K2 and ask Mr Goh to install for you.
