Thread all abt ROLEX

[ed_is_on_87]

Hi guys, decided to spend more money to get a brand new watch. looking at the submariner non date. was quoted $5286 by dickson watch at paragon!!! i quite shocked to hear that price coz other ppl prices are $5400 and above. anyway my dad gonna help me ask his friend if he can get further discount because that time he got a submariner date for $6700. good price? =) hopefully can get my hands on the rolex soon. cheers. thanks ohlins and those who replied anyway. =)

Has prices risen so much? Just 3-4 yrs ago when I bought my submariner non date for only 4.4k at Hour Glass.......

actually i was referring to his price of $6700 for sub date he mentioned.

 

[ohlins]

haha oopss......sorry ah...tot u referring to the 5400 thingie....

yeah of cos 6700 very good (but "that time" was how long ago we also dunno).......last week i brought my fren to buy...7k.....ok lah not too bad considering many shops now die die dun discount, thinking that they will get a windfall when the price goes up......

 

[Nakedtoes]

if you have freinds or relative going oversea can ask them to look at duty free shops... can get cheaper deal also.... i am going phuket next month anyone know any duty free shop selling watches in the airport there?

$5286 for sub no date, expensive. should pay more for Sub Date or SD.

Personnally I feel that not all people like Sub Date. Personal opinion think with the cyclops eye make it so much more ah pek. Sub non date more for younger people.

My opinion. Of course can also argue that other brands like IWC or Penerai are more suited to younger people as well.

 

[cannotliao]

no date resale value very low then no have solid end link.

 

[ed_is_on_87]

hahaa. ya. i considered the sub with date and seadweller as well. i know that the sub non date doesnt hold its value well, less accurate as well.. but come to think of it. must find one watch that i really like. =) the sub with date and seadweller a bit too ex for me though. $1000+++ more for the date. maybe when i am 30 i can get one. =D

 

[mirage_77]

Actually, how many of us really sell the watch?

Unless have the hobby keep changing watches (like cars) or like in shows always no money (then why buy Rolex in the first place? Show off?)

Of course does not apply to those who really invest in watches to sell, but those are the high end brands such as Patek Phillpe etc, for Rolex minimum to be either vintage ones or Daytona series I believe.

most important....like u said....is u bought what u like.....must be 'song' then got kick....why buy something that others say is good...
