First time buying 20k rolex watch for female (she already chosen) need advice

1) Kee Hing Hung seems very popular and professional. But shouldn't one go to the marina square outlet as it is bigger? Or should go both outlet to see all models?
2) How do you usually pay? I do not have a good credit card (I only have that DBS treasure card which is 1%). Will they give discount if you pay cash/nets?
3) Can ask for discount?

who will want to buy rolex nowadays so many fake ones. i rather spend in on a franck muller

As someone who wanted to buy one, let me give my take. Maybe it naive and may not go well with watch lover here

Made it in life this 2 years and want show relatives who looked down on you for years. When you wear a rolex, people will know you must have made it. I know it not expensive and affordable but it still relatively expensive.

If you buy fake one, you dare tell people is real one? All my relatives will not recognise a franck muller

Yup that is one of the mass appeal of Rolex, in many places it still is a status symbol. Although nowadays in Singapore so many people have multiple steel Rolexes, it is no longer what it used to be.

If you have such relatives, go ahead and buy 1 to impress them. Life is short, do what you need to be happy.

My relatives don’t care about my watches so my humble watch collection is just for my own enjoyment

I applaud your brutal honesty.

At least you’re not afraid to bare all and say why you want a Rolex.

Really? I got no purchase history and I was just offered the two tone Wimbledon 2-3 weeks back. But I rejected it cause I didn’t like it.

Wah which outlet I want to buy this model

Always like the yatch master 40mm rose gold, my grail watch if I may. But I see the Singapore resale market selling them close to retail. Is it really that not sort after??

Any opinion on this woman piece for my wife? I research datejust is the most popular, and full gold look expensive and the diamond look good too. I guess it should be available in chinatown outlet?

This one better bring wife go and view and decide. I wanted to buy a full gold date just for my wife but she say too flashy and prefer two tone with diamond dial instead and more practical for daily use. So gotten that instead.

So any luck?
From my experience, you buy a lady watch also won’t get you a male sports steel.
you need to spend more than $80k minimum to get yourself on a waiting list.

I spoke to the senior salesperson who is a manager of the cluster shops, she was very honest and told me that nowadays they have very few allocation of sports model watches. So they prioritize the “preferred” customers first. When I probed what it takes to be a “preferred” customer, she gave some examples of how some of her customers bought watches of other brands amounting close to $80k.
