can, ask you to service and charge you for the new dial, old dial won't be returned back to you

Collected today

Congratulations I prefer the 12 over the 11 due to the metal ring around the bezel. Good buy

Thank you 老板。I did honestly prefer the 12 over the 11 too, one reason was same as yours and second reason was the slimmer sub dials. But seems like from sentiments on the ground, more prefer the 11 over the 12.

It's okay, I don't intend to sell and just wear myself

Quite gian the new blue illum haha

But my friend said as long as Rolex still got the green lume dial, they will only replace with a new green illum dial and won't change to the blue one - true or not?

All the watch gurus here, need your advice here.

Recently got offered a Rolex piece overseas which I bought as I was finally offered after 6 boutiques.

Now that I am back, I am thinking of trying my luck to acquire another Rolex from the ADs here. I have put my name in the interest list for a few classic and professional models across the different ADs.

Would any of you here recommend going to the AD every few weeks to chitchat with the staff and to maintain rapport even though there is nothing for purchase? Will they remember your face and that you are a really interested customer since I go almost every few weeks? I feel like I should be able to make my first move to be offered something to buy so to finally have an open customer-business relationship. I have done my research on the watches before heading down to the ADs so as not to sound like a total noob who does not know anything about Rolex.

I asked this because I went to the same AD 3 weeks apart and the person who initially served me does not remember me anymore as he did not give me his namecard.

Why bother begging AD's like a dog when you can just stroll into Grey and buy like a king! The premium isn't that high anyway these days. Groveling for a luxury watch just seems a bit ironic to me.

I left my contact at 1 AD for gmt/sub, the person say will contact me once got stock, that was 6-7 years ago, not a single call. I wearing my 2nd Rolex already. Lol, what you think leh? You want go there keep showing face, also paiseh, unless you willing to buy a bunch of watches la.

Journey with an AD only if you’re genuinely interested in other brands of watches that the AD offer as well and start from those.

Everyday dozens of customers walk in to enquire on Rolex. They will remember your face meh

I seriously dunno how to advise you. I would say that visiting AD every few weeks for chit chatting works only if the relationship evolves to a level where both parties feels at ease / comfortable enough with each other such that the regular catch ups comes very naturally. Otherwise there might even be a certain level of awkwardness when you see your SA. The relationship should feel natural and not just because you heard that visiting AD every now and then works in building rapport. It doesn’t necessarily work that way. Not sure if you get what I mean

May i know what watch you intend to get from your AD? If it’s one of the hot model…. No
Point you visit every few weeks as the decision is that of management and not the SA, even if your SA is the boutique manager they can’t really get approval. However, if you want to start with an easier model like a lady DJ or a two tone DJ than maybe visiting often can allow the SA to remember you ?

Thanks for your input. Definitely the SA who serve you dun remember you because you dun have the look of Aaron kwok or the like of Tom Brady.

So dun bother to waste time going in to create a conversation or honeycomb them on how much you like the sought after timepiece. The retail culture in Singapore is different.
If I'm the SA, I also call tolong you not to revisit again unless u have the ability to buy the non moving watches to create a first impression. Else kindly make your way to the grey dealership.

Peace out and have a nice day

Cortina & Hour Glass are listed companies and they need to make $$$ to answer shareholders

If everybody wants a Rolex, the other brands cannot move… no $$$ to be made

That’s how it is with the bigger ADs here - go to them if u collect watches

You can try the smaller ones since they don’t carry as many brands
