 Amazing - in my hands like 6 days ago, now in yours in Singapore. I enjoy all the modern conveniences of life, but I still think the logistics to get product across the globe is amazing. I've got a watch that I fedex'd to Kuala Lumpur on Monday - should get to the guy TODAY; and they're a half day ahead of the US.

Anywho, Singapore is one of the best countries to import watches into. The worst? Canada, UK, Russia. Canada charges like 30% of retail value - ridiculous. You'd think it'd be the US; but they have the most defined system (for commercial folks like myself on autos, it turns out to be 'about' 9%)

No, we do not pay import tax here in SG.
