Thread all abt ROLEX - Part 2

[lepakonecorner]

Hi, I’m new to buying luxury watches and would appreciate some advice. I want to get my dad a Rolex, as he’s always wanted one. He’s bought many fake versions before, and I know he’d love to have a genuine one.

I’ve heard it’s quite difficult to buy a Rolex in Singapore. I’m mainly looking at these three series: Sea-Dweller, Datejust, and GMT-Master. Is it possible to buy any of these directly from AD? E.g. Rolex Boutique - The Hour Glass ION Orchard? Would it help to check at Changi Airport when I’m traveling overseas?

Also, since this is a big purchase, any recommendations for which credit card to use?

Thank you.

On the current situation, I will say it's hard but not impossible for datejust half gold, SS will be hard. Fate all primarily decide on the balance inventory that is left unallocated. GMT & Sea dweller basically unachievable for first timer. I will suggest pay a small premium for datejust or 2nd hand sea dweller which is trading below retail. Hope this help

Ah I see. But I didn’t expect to receive childish comments from a grown up adult.
But it’s okay, I can play along with them if they have free time for me.

anyway, thank you for the information.

Yes those people are ridiculously childish. U are always right. Do not take it to heart and dun let this internet bullies suppress you. Have a bless day ahead

SD is an easy first timer watch. So are the majority of DJs aside from a few dial configurations. SS gmts are impossible. TT and full gold gmts may be possible.

Thanks everyone. I just brought my dad to choose his Rolex. Luckily, he likes Datejust. AD said he thinks he should be able to get it. I think they have it but not willingly to sell it on the spot. Hopefully, we will get a call from him soon.

Btw, do you think i should go to other AD and register my interest or just stick to 1 AD and wait for the call?

Which AD and which outlet is this? Good to go to other shops from different chains to indicate interest. But avoid KHH imo. If possible, good to “chance upon” a manager instead of just a regular salesperson

I went to The Hour Glass VivoCity. Thanks for the advice. I will go to other chains on my own to indicate interest now that I know his favourite design.

Ya you can try a Cortina outlet in orchard. Also can try empress/emperor. Can try watch palace also. Like that one visit to town can settle all.

KHH is the best AD in Asia. Definitely should not miss the opportunity

Week day hardly got chance to go orchard

I quite like the explorer 2 actually but I keep reading online that it's an unpopular model and also less demand/investment value for some reason as compared to other SS models. Thus the dilemma

this reddit thread for example
https://www.reddit.com/r/rolex/s/uAiqtJ5PGt

These days, we should just buy what we like and not worry about investment value cos demand can change over time and what's hot today may not be in 5 years

Hi Bros, my friend has these two watches, the Sub is prolly around mid 60's to early 70's while the gold Day/Date is arounf 40's to 50's.....I think. Any Rolex expert can advise on prices of these beauties? BTW, the Sub has a green dial, not black.

Read the reviews of this outlet in Google and see who’s the salesperson often praised

Hi good afternoon Sir, let me assist you with your query. Basically u can explore the carousel which most of the grey dealer are listing their items and under setting select the lowest to highest value, and the search engine will display and answer your question. Hope this help and have a nice day ahead
