There is one shop in Gurney Plaza old wing that sells a good selection of Orient, Seiko, Doxa, Certina and other stuff.

There was a friendly, knowledgable and long time AD for Orient at Penang Road, opp Komtar, at the side of Ong kongsi (Clan halls for Ong Surname).

Sorry for the confusion.

I bought a Mako from an AD on Penang Rd opposite Komtar several years ago.  The price was pretty good, but still a fair bit more than online.  That said, it was a nice experience to buy a watch while on holidays.
