Dunno about Singapore, in my looking around the dSLR prices didn't seem to vary by more than a $100 or so.
The OM-1 is an excellent camera - pity your winder is broken. You could probably get that repaired if you find a suitable shop. Up until the advent of affordable dSLR the OM-1 was still a sought after camera. I still have a Pentax K1000, similarly all mechanical beast and very solid.
It's amazing what the Canon and Nikon dSLRs have done to the film market. The photographer at my previous place of work had a pro Nikon outfit which went from being worth $6k second-hand to about $1500 in 18 months.... he wasn't happy about it!
