Palermo was on sale couple of months back...oops...but each dept store (i.e. Robinsons, taka etc) may have a set that is on sale only for them...tangs n robinsons raffles city have the biggest range... Good luck! -

Wmf has sales locally every 3-4 mths. I've not seen this before locally, I pick cutlery based on the size of the dinner spoon. Too big, can't fit into everyone's mouth...LOL The other thing is the made in Germany ones r the more expensive sets - they r also heavier and feel more solid. Up to ur preference, but I like the heavier feel. Unfortunately, made in Germany sets hardly go on sale...😆 -

i think it's the only dept store i know of that the sale applies to the cosmetics section...otherwise for homeware stuff, robinson's could still be better...but taka has a better range of dinnerware than robinson's...

ticking sound - i can only hear the tick-tick when i put my ear about 1" away from the mechanism at the back of the clock ... so it is indeed very quiet... -

Tonight I go home n listen again n c if I can find something similar to benchmark to... btw,point to note,their production time is long cos it's made to order n handcrafted so it took him about 20+ days to ship out to me...the second hand was slightly bent towards surface of the clock,despite all the careful packing...I just carefully adjusted it myself n it's fine... Ya, I also scared of it falling off n m tending to getting a hole drilled... -

rough rule of thumb: - each item must be <20 pounds in weight - amazon global eligible i.e. sold by amazon, not a 3rd party seller - total order >usd125 - check for restrictions here and elsewhere on the amazon site: http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?docId=1001120111 during checkout, if for some reason, your order doesn't qualify for free shipping, ask an amazon cso to verify for you... -

finally, i got my clock ! Taobao store I arranged for the seller to ship direct without going through a freight forwarder, about SGD41 in total, COD...well-wrapped by the seller and shipper... Undoing the outside wrapping The clock is encased by plastic foam, custom cut to its shape...and the cutout for the needles to prevent damage.. First look at my beautiful clock - handcarved from 红木 (redwood)...a hook is provided for the clock but i'm planning to use a 3M hook...it weighs roughly 1.5kg, very solid feel...the finish is smooth and sanded well... close up of the wood grain...the mechanism is not very noisy although it's not one of those continuous movement type... all in all, beautiful clock - a bit expensive including the shipping fee but definitely a one of a kind type... -

lol, i use a tefal one - mine heats up pretty fast tho... but mine comes with a temperature dial - most of them only comes with pre-set stuff like toast etc...not many brands' toaster ovens allow temperature selection, btw... -

I use a small toaster oven instead of a built-in version cos I wanted more counter top space n I cook 1-3 times a week... it's good enuf for 1-2 person meals, imo... I like baking fish,asparagus etc as I find the taste n nutrition is better preserved n definitely less messy to clean up... -

no, i meant seeing the real thing and then, based on what you've seen, judge for yourself if the item offered on tb is real and what are the possible things that can go wrong if it breaks etc....
