Suggest you wear a proper automatic watch there, so they know you are into watches and not a one off purchaser, take this opportunity to express your interest on the next watch, GMT, Sub, Daytona thus you have finally made it into the list officially.

Congratulations on this again and please don't forget to praise the SA and the AD on your social media platform, this will escalate your "Que" status for your next watch.

The usual etiquette applies:
When the AD open or re-open a boutique, send flowers and address to the Shop and AD. (If you notice, this was done when the Tang Plaza Hour Glass recently) -Please write down your name in full, not some Alvin Tay but Alvin Tay Ah Beng and family. (Reason is there are thousands of Alvin Tay in SG)

Drop by whenever you are near the boutique and say hi, this is to make a impression and they will "remember" you better. CNY, they will give you the brand red packets, mid autumn festival, they give mooncakes to guest (Or you can even give them),appear also during Christmas period, maybe got extra freebie or event they can invite you (Clearing of the yearly marketing budget).

I am slowly exiting the watch game liao, so just sharing all the tips and tricks I learn from others previously. All the best people!

yeah i got a phone call a few days ago, planning to head down tomorrow



tiagong pay cash no need pay gst? dk if true or not:s22:

Nowadays dont hear much of cash mode discounts.. certainly no such thing no need pay gst though...

If AD already contact u to head down, then should be safe already la... if u really into getting in the watch game and popular models, take heed from kyo. He is sexpert. If not then just go down normally lor.. it’s like buying anything else... sic pics once u got your watch. Good luck!

Try the new outlet of Hour Glass @ Tang Plaza. Look for the usual SA, Desmond, Justin..etc to help you out. Please dress decently and wear a proper watch for your first impression. That's all I can help now. Go now before its gone. ;)

Hi, can I get some advice on a realistic price to pay for an Air King? Saw a new piece from overseas AD, but not sure if there is any room for discount and don't want to lowball the dealer. Thanks.

I just got one two weeks back ..8610. From emperor. It’s actually not a very popular watch you know ... the only time it was selling above the ad price was when it was just released in 2016... in fact 2 years ago it was still available on the display case with some room for discount if you pay in case .
