Tom,
I’d suggest emailing a couple of stores asking for a quote, Cathay photo is one, another is MS color
http://www.mscolor.com.sg/products/
to compare with buying duty free here. For research on different models I’d suggest looking at this link:

the tables have an eyeglass friendliness score. I don’t have a feel for binoculars but have the impression that prices in Singapore are not all that low these days.
You can get a pair of 8×42 Nikon Monarchs here for $449 from Bintel and you can try them in store. They are generally the highest rated mid price Bino available.
