In early 2017 my friend could saunter into Rolex at ION and troll a xinjiao SA about buying a Sub date. Sauntered out without getting it, and still managed to snag one at retail price at THG@Millenia Walk upon walk-in. No connections, no deposits, no waiting lists, just in the nick of time before everyone lost their minds and wiped out every SS sports model till now.

True story.

the madness only start in the middle of 2017.... u can easily pop to cortina to get a sub date anytime. even hulk and batman - u can get it within a couple of months. you cant compare now and then.... now its all about PwP - purchase with purchase. buy a datejust and you can be "granted" with a sub date.... buy a PM president and magically your daytona will appear.

bringing the buying experience in 2010....what a joke...

in 2010, all the sports models (other than daytona) can be found in changi airport glass case and u can even nego for up to 5% discount.

Went to Cortina and Hour Glass, wanting to buy a Datejust. They both give 5% discount. Any brothers here know which other AD give better discounts?

Need to have a friend that is a regular at the watch shop and usually it may not be those big brand names but those WOM types shops at bencoolen. Heard this from a friend!

Lol... now this is the why you don't like what I posted. :s13:

i already said, by all means go and put your name and wait lor. i don't need to advocate the buy at retail movement.

i have connections to get it. but then again, that's not even mine, helping a friend who waited 2 years to get a gmt black. which is a joke too, like yourself.

but don't bring 2010 experience in here. its dumb and it doesn't work that way anymore.

unless you can prove me wrong and buy a pepsi or anything sports model like batman, hulk, daytona.

if not your experience is pretty waste of time.

datejust can push 15% one.

unless its the popular model like 126300 then that's about it

I got my explorer 2 2 mths back in Australia for abt 9.6k. I would say if you really like it, go for it. Didn see explorer 2 in Sg or maybe I wasn’t actively hunting lols.

EXP2 polar is quite common - dont have to pay more than 10K for this.

If you are lucky, you can even find it in heathrow airport..they are selling at 5K pounds.
