TS mia liao… after he dragged the company name through the mud.

[otakuflick]

i think u still don't get it.

It's not only that, quite a number of shops kana too.
And the guys were not caught afaik.

It was at the auction for unclaimed pawned items, then people find it fishy when how come so many of this model appeared. They opened up and studied carefully then realized the inside were not real.

There's no technology to determine inside is fake because outside, box and everything were real.
Got card got everything. And the pawn shops most likely also weight and roughly look at the inside, hear the movement got unusual noise or not before paying. So what technology you want to use to scan the inside?


For those carousel sellers, even worse.
People who play these watches, they send for authentication at certain shops run by ex-Rolex technicians.

Not relying on whatever card , box, packaging, qr code, bla bla.
The lucky plaza one is very chatty if u speak canto, u can ask him more if you don't believe.

By right these watches need to be serviced and have parts replaced at a 3-4% yearly tmaintenance. For the ETA, it's the same old stuffs not hard at all to have 3rd party parts of the extract material and quality but at 1/10 of the price from 'authorised' shops.

It's a synthetic diamond vs 'natural' diamond argument, silly and pointless. I won't bother about the authenticity of the parts personally.

Um no, resale value still very expensive. I everyday pass by moneymax, they sell those 2nd hand Rolex and handbags, still quite expensive. I see the price I told myself I might as well buy a first hand.

You see anyone buying those? It’s like those hdb list 2M price. Can list any price but who buys?

 

[oddbasket]

Does it mention on the receipt the customised parts were official rolex parts? Or they just provided optional third party parts? Did you not ask to retain the original parts since you paid for them?

 

[tokong]

Of course no one buys. That's why I will only buy 1st hand ones.

 

[koster]

Sue liao ???

Who sue who? Haha

This is for all future customers of Hourglass Singapore. They sold me a Rolex watch with replaced fake extras that I bought as souvenir for my wife. After 10+ years need repairs but Rolex said fake & Hourglass Singapore refused to take responsibility. @Rolex #HourglassSingapore

这适用于新加坡沙漏的所有未来客户。他们卖给我一块劳力士手表，上面有替换的假冒配件，我买给我妻子作为纪念品。 10多年后需要维修，但劳力士表示假冒&沙漏新加坡拒绝承担责任。 @Rolex @劳力士 #TheHourGlassSingapore

Haiyo, So you buy the Ladies Full 18k 69178 model, something like the below image, but you change the bezel to aftermarket diamond bezel. If you bring to Rolex, surely they will not service and will reject... Need to put back original non-diamond bezel then can clear.

hahaha u can try to sell it @ moneymax see how much they want to offer and then tell me

 

[crunsik]

Lost cause for ts. Mata also wouldn’t do much. Not 2million

 

[testerjp]

why u say those carousell sellers even worse huh? i was intending to buy a watch for one of them then bring to one of the shops to authenticate.

of course if the seller can go authenticate at those ex-rolex tech shops, it's the best.

But to buy depending on the box, packaging, or the seller's rating.
Super risky

i bought 2 watch @ carousell but both new
if i wanted to buy 2nd hand there then i will immediately authentic to the AD

 

[shodan99]

20k.
If use it to buy apple, ndvia, Tesla or Google already 2M leow

Both tesla and Google were not founded in 1995. You could not have possibly invested in them in 1995

True also, if i ask the Rolex to service my rolex, they will charge like 3k + for my issue.
Those ex-rolex techs are doing it at 1/10 of the price.

All rolex components are made inhouse except the arrow.
So if they want to check, it's still possible.

If want to keep the rolex in 100% original condition, the user has to spend thousands to maintain.
That's a reality that many rolex owners are not aware until they really own it for a number of years.

These days, buying Rolex is no longer worth it because the cost of servicing will eat away whatever appreciating people really tot they can get

 

[trojanhorse]

Wtf dzi tian zhu???
Seriously?
That founder is malaysian you all helping him be rich sia

1. There are many private seller who are non-Malaysian
2. Which of sentence says, seller is a Malaysian???
3. Which statement says, I am helping that Malaysian Founder to be rich???

请看清楚。不要妄下定论。我是帮人做鉴定！
人家买了之后，才来找我！Please read carefully.

You knew nothing about Dzi. Is alright. I did not blame you. Some people believe, some don't.

 

[trojanhorse]

The fakes must be good enough to bluff people 30 years ago lol. Not like now got China AAA replica.

Yes, you are right.

Some 20-30 years ago, Dzi very "hot"! Most buyers are rich local Chinese businessman. I met many of them.

At those times, people don't know how to differentiate. When people knew they have fake Dzi, they argue like mad with me.

 

[Adeline_Weilas18]

What pen they use ink doesn't fade. Invoice ink stays. Amazing

 

[Mr Duck]

Now fake rolex every where outside. You go guangzhou pay $500 sgd you can get a 天花板 rolex if you done your homework and knowledge about rolex

 

[4ever1]

1995 can spend 20k for watch, using hdb price as yardstick, it’s almost 100k now. Ts is sibei rich.

 

[standarture]

Haha people buy lolec dunno anything about lolec. Just buy for fun. But for the "fake" accessories on his watch to last so long also not bad sia. No wonder the watch is "damaged" by the accessories.

 

[sick_and_tired]

maybe wife pawn the real one never tell you

This is funny ..could be
