Actually how does it work ah.. At Raffles City branch, the Rolex shop has a different group of SA than the PP and other brands. So how do you actually form a relationship with the Rolex SA when you can't even buy any Rolex in the first place. Do you just go and talk to them every now and than?

Raffles City is Cortina and they have multiple brands including rolex and patek. One of the best way is to build a journey into rolex with other brands.

Start first with a less popular Rolex classic model, like a TT Datejust. Then slowly build up from there. You may not be able to get a TT Datejust during your first walk in, but should be able to express interest and they might call you if they have one for you in the following months. Once you receive the call and make that purchase, take the opportunity to ask them if you can be allowed to queue for a entry level sports model. The visiting part? Yes, after you start something, then pay visit to your SA from time to time. Just like a relationship with a friend, you will visit your friend as well from time to time right?

Thanks both! I’ve headed down there before as i park nearby before going to work haha.. so far they are the only AD who asked me to sit down, chat with me, let me try their watch and give me drinks. I’ll start off with a iwc / zenith / jlc than go into rolex to register my interest haha.

Unfortunately their choices of other brands are shrinking and they are no longer authorised dealer for Iwc and Jlc. Not sure abt zenith. But it is a faster track when you have purchase history with them. Mine was quite fast.

Oh I misunderstood your message. i thought your non allocated pieces means you are given more watches to buy after you bought the watch that you are supposed to buy to qualify for the queue of highly sought after Patek and Rolex sports model

I can buy more of non allocation pieces but it would keep delaying the sports allocations.. so no point in doing that. Furthermore nothing much that I desire in Rolex now. Datejust etc are a waste of time for me. So I’m focusing on patek now and stock delivery is very low to begin with.

Waiting for the new Omega ATs to come in. Looks like they’ve updated the bracelet. The Terra Cotta dial is just stunning.

Is it really easier to get allocation at Cortina than at THG? I mean for quite some time I have heard of various people suggesting to try Cortina. Less people suggest to try THG somehow

It’s more assuring at Cortina but outlay is huge.

They sell bundle 1 shot - at least that happened to me early this year

Stupid question. Usually do they give discount for Cartier lady watch like Tank Must?

So in your opinion, if you take some non allocation pieces, the allocation for the sport model which you wanted (after the qualifying criteria are met) would be delayed? i wasn’t sure if that would be case. I took one piece (a model which I had indicated in the interest list earlier) which was offered to me one month after I met the “qualifying criteria”. I wasn’t told the allocation for the sports model I wanted would be delayed if I took It. If I had known, maybe I would not have taken it (although it was still a model that I like to own). Anyway let’s see. Was told I can check for updates next month.
