    hahahaha
    yes indeed,
    I remember fellow WUS reccomend Big Time for foreigner like me
    and get discount like 15-20%

    Big Time insist that there is not even 1 % discount for every item the sell

    so I just look arround
    and good things comes arround

    meet fellow WUS
    he sells me literally every Seiko JDM I want from his many collections

    where u intend to buy yours, care to share? singpore not many places have orients
    ya lor, so far i only seen 2-3shops carry Orient. kingwah is one of them. In bencoolen plaza i think i only saw 1shop, saw another one in bras basah. But i got the best deal with kingwah:D

    i rather buy JDM from seiko5ers or seiya/higuchi for that matter

    in fact kingwah i'm also careful. price good but after sales not good. my advice is to bring along a 20x loupe and scrutinize the watch u going to buy...u never know what u will see under thoses lens! i share bcos it happen to me before

    now if i wanna buy watch, i bring a loupe just in case.

    mustafa is not bad. im not bothered with "no warranty" bcos the watches i buy mainly for collection so likely >1year in box. so give me warranty also no use

    :thanks

    as for prestige, the price and service is not bad. they gladly take out every watch to let u see even if you ended not buying any! same goes for prestige.

    Hi Kohym,

    I had just bought a loupe & there is a Digit (3) on it.
    does it mean anything?

    :thanks

    :thanks
    someone pl correct me if i'm wrong - i think the number means the size here, not the magnification of the loupe?

    mine says clearly "20x" so no doubt abt that

    :thanks

    is it the black one watchmakers always wear over their one eye? if yes, then the "big hole" caps over your eye.

    if it is the diamond loupe that twists out to reveal the lens, then any side will do.
