after reading so many reviews online for diff material and maunfacturing countries, decided not to comprise, must get manufactured from JAPAN only, got this within 2 days of ordering.. feel is realistic, worth buy, i highly recommend everyone to get only those made in japan. btw this product lists avg S$450-$530 at the point of my putchae.. and i only got it from here at $405 with promo code... cheapest i found. enjoy!
