Speaking of Rolex watches, is it better to buy from ADs in Singapore like Hour Glass and Cortina, going to a grey dealer or going to those second hand shops?

Hmm that's my question too..

 

[Wryer]

The Cartier Calibre is beautiful. Has got the 霸气 I like in divers. The red gold and black combi is great.

Anyone knows what's the going price?

 

[Hua_Hui]

can anyone share how much will this cost brand new/pre-owned?

really dig the white dial + blue hands

if too ex might have to settle for this. anyone knows how much new/pre-owned(is there even a market for non-luxury brands?)

If u not sure which to buy go AD. If u know which model u aim get from grey seller. Can deal at RSC cash payment upon authentication. The staffs at RSC will help u resize the bracelet at no extra cost.

Third choice.. outside shop that sell used. Some also sell brand new. Hint... Hint. Some get their stock from Grey too. Thus their price usually is abt 1 k above Grey. As for AD rrp is usually 4 to 6k different from grey.

Grey usually only sell sports model and hard to get model. AD.. Usually got more range and low discount for sport models.

No $$$ for Rolex, IWCs and Omegas, just a simple TAG for me.

I take it the best place to find grey dealers is sgroc?

i can imagine first time buyers go AD ... to understand the whole rolex thing is also good. so many models, the full service and attention ...the catalogs, and of course the other many models.

if you already have a model in mind and your priority is price, then I'd say start picking up the phone make a few calls to compare price...sometimes it can be siginificant, especially with those few months old NIB (new in box) pieces.

Rolex Verification Service is your ultimate guarantee, so no worries. They will even tell you that the watch is due for servicing soon from the freshness/dryness of the oil.

what a gorgeous watch! if they can keep this up I won't be surprised if some big watch group like LVMH buy over Aquadive in the future.

Your watch has a 21mm lug width. It's not a common size. It's unlikely that you'll find a ready made one in shops. Online yes.

But 22mm straps will be able to squeeze in there. 22mm straps are available almost everywhere.
