[helmsley76]

Abt 8-10? But cheaper by how much roughly? How abt other brand like omega or panerai?

Please don't get a Omega. Its a crap brand these days. Get a JLC or Rolex, or Pam.

A few hundred usual, never a few k. In fact its generally more expensive than hk.
This swiss grey they have a shop there, read they are able to obtain AD stamp on warranty. Do yo own research compare their price with local, grey prices is usually 10-20% lower than local AD.

patryn bro, i heard switzerland prices may not be cheaper than SG leh for rolex. wat i heard is that those rolex pieces are really MADE IN SWITZERLAND (every single thing all done in switzerland) as compared to the ones in SG where certain operations may happen elsewhere. is this true???

I don't really dig the reverso series. Too classy for me. I prefer the Master Compressor diver series.

That's what I heard from my fren who bought few Rolies in Switzerland

Go Switzerland buy those model available locally then worth buying else go HK or buy in SG can get better deal.

Made in England

Hi Regular Watch Collectors (RWC),

It has been a while as I was away on Business trips or more like taking pictures...kekekekeke. Sometimes, one have to take risk to go to remote towns to find vintage watches. I was lucky to find a boxful of vintage watches which are Made in England..

1950s Smith and NewMark​

Glad to be back in Singapore but will be away again soon to hunt for vintages......

Not true! which monkey told u that?

Salesman one also believe, u have to read up on rolex operation.
Use cheaper made parts can get COSC cert, why rolex want to make parts locally which a lot to make?
If u send rolex outside Switzerland to service, u would think ppl may swap out parts.
If so u better ship to rolex Switzerland, feel like rolex running crazy sales and service network.

Oh do u know rolex has laws in usa that prevent ppl importing rolex watch in. If u buy overseas and customs find u have receipt and full box they have right to confiscate watch, intend is to protect AD.

Rolex dont want their parts go into circulation, if have inferior parts I would think authorized service center would horde them for their own use.

Pam is worse

Actually, I heard of this too. To qualify for "Swiss Made", there is no need for 100% of the parts to be made in Switzerland. Those in Switzerland have 100% parts from Switzerland.
