tzeyap:Whether or not you received a good discount, the item must have been covered under warranty. Did you get the item replaced or substituted ?
I onced purchased 6 Suunto Alpha dive computers from him for my friends and all of them packed up just after after warranty. All of them were taken back despite being past warranty and were given a fantastic deal to upgrade to the Solution.
In anycase we are in danger of hijacking this thread.
I understand that Charlie (Paris at Lucky plaza) is closing down his store and so there may be good deals to be had.
AC Boy:Hi tzeyap,
Wow! Didn't know that Charlie's planning to shut his store... real pity tho'. I purchased my 1st reg setup from his store abt a year back and it was a pleasure doing business with him. He's honest and doesn't try any of those hardselling tactics I'd experienced elsewhere (e.g. when all I wanted was a back-inflate BC and had to put up with all that smooze abt backplates and all).
Back to the original post... Paris at Lucky Plaza is a good place to check out dive gear (they carry most brands and have got quite a good range). Alternatively, you may wish to check out the 2 shops located at The Concourse (located downtown... cab ride away from Orchard Rd) - Oceanic and Waikiki. Oceanic carries Oceanic and Zeagle, while Waikiki has a relatively wider range.
If I understand you correctly, you're looking at getting only a 1st stage? If so, you might have a hard time getting one 'cos most shops tend to sell it together with the 2nd stages as well. But still, it's worth checking out the shops here... never know when you'll be lucky
