    Hi Guys

    Just got my second vintage piece, an Seamaster 2846, 501 Cal. Will post up a picture soon!

    Need some advice from the local folk in Singapore, where is a good place to service in Singapore and how much does it cost for a lube and clean up of the internals?

    Thanks guys!

    Hi Pradeep, you can try
    - K2 watch. They've serviced my Great White and my cal 561 Connie. Mr Goh is quite fast - turnaround time 14-21 days.
    - Han Meng watches. Mr Wong serviced my Cal 750 seamaster. Turnaround also about 2-3 wks.
    K2 and Han Meng are affordably priced.
    I've spoken to Eric at Bonfield. He's expensive, but I've heard he's good.

    Overall, I'd go with Mr Wong at Han Meng first - he might be able to do it for SGD100-150. K2 would probably be slightly pricier, SGD150-180.

    Thanks NT931 for your recommendations!

    Would you happen to know of a good shop to buy a watch winder that won't break the bank?

    Gosh, can't remember. I bought my Eilux winder some time ago from a place in Bras Basah Complex I think. No recommendations for winders, though I see Boxy Winders on display here and there.
