Magnifying Glass

[seiko.citizen]

Thanks guys.

The one at JW looks high end, any idea on the price? I may check it out over weekend.

how high end you need? can do the job means suitable already.

got some info on loupe from web. other than magnification, the other factor to consider is nos of lens used, as this affect the picture quality (now i understand why my old magnifying lens (those big round type) can't compare even though its 12x). the recommended is to go for triplet (3 lens) 10x (taken from web), i personnally have not tried.
(...)

you are right in that aspect you need to make sure that the model you are comparing use the same type of lens, also what type of mineral are they using to make the glass, all this will reflect on price on final product.

Hi All frens,

I happen to be in BKK rite at this moment and they have these loupes that they are selling for about 18 - 19 per piece, it should be plastic types as i did not feel the material of lens. However, it is very clear and it has a led light stuck at one side of the loupe which can be moved slightly to angle the light for a clearer view.

Please let me know if anyone here decides to purchase, this, i will buy about 15 pieces back in case anyone wants it. I used it on my watch and it was quite an "eye opener".

Do let me know your name and contact number thru PM so that i can get in touch with you. I do not earn from this, just doing a little favor, but do let me know if the price is too expensive so that i will not bring too many or even any at all. It is 10X magnification. I will let you guys know if i run out of it, i will be back in Singapore next week, so lets meet up then. Cheers!! First come first served.

Hi, if u r referring to the single winder that costs $90++, I bought one wks ago. I'm still using and quite satified with it. It depends on ur personal expectations actually. Sme pple dun like an open winder.
