Casio & Seiko watch in Singapore?

[Cotsner]

As watches are totaly tax free item in singapore, why did they cost quite some different price for the same model but different outlet? As far as i m concerned, we can get a type which don't provide waranty card and also the original box. My greatest concern is-are these watches pirated? Is the quality compromised? Notice the price can easily cheaper for sg$50. That's RM120 plus! Can we buy those watches?!

bro..watches are still subjected to the 7% GST as with all goods and services in Singapore (unless you're buying at the airport duty free). watches are tax free in Malaysia

That's so true! So we can conclude that watch in singapore is somehow more expensive lo! Nevermind! Just let them spend some dollars!

you can re claim the tax if you FLY out of Singapo

With the current exchange rate of almost RM2.5 for 1SGD, Definitely get it from MSIA Duty Free or Airport!!
