Thread all abt ROLEX - Part 2

[Plikhz]

Thank you, keeping my fingers crossed. Hopefully I can get the Rolex first this month or next while waiting for 5167. Haha

Ohhh which Rolex model?? Exciting!

 

[Plikhz]

A friend of mine were with AP MBS. He was asked to purchase a ROO Diver first which he did. Then after waiting for about 15 months, he was allocated the SS RO. I don’t think i will journey for other brands apart from Rolex and PP. Hence I didn’t ask him to refer me to his SA at MBS

Diver seems fine. But they were pushing code. And it’s hard to describe but the way they treated me (across 2 local boutiques and one in Japan) was quite poor. And I am familiar with the Rolex and Patek AD experience and understand the situation. Plus they also know that I am a collector because of what I wore and we talked abt watches too

True, Diver is ok. I heard most AP sales person were trying to push Code and most people aren’t really willing to purchase the Code.

Wow!! That would be a really special (and disorientating) watch!!

Interesting.
A separate question on watch protection film, apologies if this has been discussed before. How long does it take to apply? Seems like some need to leave the watch with the shop, is that a concern? Can’t imagine letting my watch out of sight

I did mine with a shop in Pacific Plaza. They are the distributor of RX8 protection film in Singapore. Usually I will bring the watch to the shop and then chit chat with him while he is doing it. It takes about 35-40 mins (including 10 mins for the film to dry a bit). I’m ok to just stay in the shop for about 40 mins since I kind of enjoy chatting with him and they are also the AD for Grand Seiko and other brands like Azimuth. So can also browse at other watches in their shop for a while.

Ah I see. That sounds a bit more reassuring. Was it for the 4947? I just wonder if they have it for most models precut? Any concerns applying on gold watches?

I did rx8 however I experienced film turning yellowish if put in the storage for a week or more. Now I turned to watch shell or ws pro and it is much better. Both guys are trustworthy and sometime we just left a couple of watches for them to do and go for our roti prata and come back later to pick up.

 

[Forefront81]

Anyone know if getting a Moser Streamliner Center Seconds or Czapek Antartique need to build relationship too?

Or can i just order and wait?

Anybody have experience with KB Luxury? The one in Jurong, not Golden Landmark.
