  any idea where can i find watch shops that sells  watches relatively cheaper than main store? I am looking for casio G-shocks. I been to a few shops in bencoolen but i cant find the model i want. Me interested in the GA-100 series... any good recommendation?

  That's already the lowest priced place because they are all parallel imported from thailand.

  Acherly, all g shock watches are made in thailand. Only the pricing is different between your definition of the main store and parallel imports.

  Yes, if you turn back and look at the casing, you will notice they are all made in Thailand. Just ask the sales staff there, they will tell you designed in japan, assembled in thailand, quality good good.

  most products are designed in atas country but assembled in developing countries to save cost....

  the G-shock i want, sold in casio-online in US for USD99...selling in sg at bencoolen for 170 and above. and if you look at the boutique more x..of course need to factor in the shipping, labor cost, etc, so i am just sourcing for cheaper deal...

  Got nothing to do with me hor. I recommended Bukit Timah Plaza. Many watch shops there, however, please do not rinse or drink the tap water there...
