Where to buy in Singapore

I'll be in Singapore soon. I'm looking for reasonably priced new or used Batman GMT. Any suggestions on where to look? Staying on Orchard Road.

Popular models including the BLNR is usually not to be found or sold at a premium.
Singapore is not a watch buying destination, because of price and selection.

It depends on the model, HK dollar is tied to the USD.
Popular models are harder to find with an occasional 5% discount, DaytonaC is at premium which can might as well forget about.

In the end of the day, after import duties at the airport, your best bet is savings on taxes which is about 8% cheaper overall.

Don't forget credit card charges foreign transaction surcharge, mine is 2.3% additional.

I've been happy with the Watch Palace Rolex boutique in Lucky Plaza on Orchard Road.
