    Lucky for you they accept USD - otherwise you would be having to count out nearly half million dongs...

    Yes, it is in Việt Nam Dong. But I converted into USD to make it easier for you guys to figure out how much.

    I have to say that font on the black dial looks very clean and that crosshair looks very well done to my admittedly Omega-ignorant eye.
    And since Vietnam has become a top world place for crocodile farming, you probably can find a kick ass crocodile strap for 20 dollars too.

    Yes, and you can sit there, see how he works on your watch and wait until the job is done.

    I deal with international currencies regularly in my role as global business development for an automotive company. For the past year I've been leading a study on a potential new plant in Asia and Vietnam is one of the considerations. The continuous depreciation to the USD over 10 years is rare...

    Can you imagine what a $100.US bill bought you in Saigon in 1969. I don't have to imagine :D

    I guess the service will be much more than $20 if some replacement parts are required. Or do they just source some fake parts?

    It would surprise me if they made their own parts. Maybe Hoi would know?

    Certainly, $20 is for a basic service without any part replaced.
    He has lots of donor movements and if he cannot find it in there, you will have to source it somewhere.
