thn whn chance upon hor (local or overseas), wow cheap leh, thn u will jump in loh ... so the buying become more $$ driven loh... hahaha

[deadbench]

ya totally agree with you.. anyway im recently back from HK and the rolex there arent really that cheap compared to SG...their subbies and SD cost slightly higher at retail price.. i didnt ask to see or ask for discount.. coz i cant speak cantonese and they all look like waiting to 'carrot' me...

perhaps cantonese friends here would get better deal... next time i'll try JPN..

but i no rolex so a bit buay tahan..the more i see..the more gian i am...

i think u should buy locally lah, either new or preown. it's always safer & easier to get it in sg lah...

want more savings hor, nxt few pcs got chance thn slowly slowly look overseas lah.
(sorry, lobang thread, 1 to share share let bros here save money, later tok too much all the AD/ dealer and those bros 1 to sell their watch 1, hantham me ) ...also, later ppl go oversea kanna bluff, also blame me... hahaha

yet to try hk . not too sure abt HK pricing, u know ??

now frequent jp, so base on their prices. but so far, after some calculation:
eg. subbie, SD, exp2, can save abt 18% to 30% from spore list.

i thnk mainly due to the following:
1. sg AD dont give much discount off sport model.
2. 7% GST ( buy overseas got tax refund or no tax).
3. exchange rate.
( their list price is acutally slightly lower thn spore, i think due to exchange gain & tax )

bro, me going to japan end of the month leh .. thinking of getting my first rollie over there .. (exp2 or subbie w date) .. really cheaper than sg ?? any shops to recommend ??

I just came back from HK last week and gotten myself the 116710. I check out the price for the SUb 16610 & 16610 as well before deciding which one to buy. I checked 4-5 different AD at TST, Central, Wong Kok and all quoted same price and some give 8% discount on the Sub 16610 not the 50th aniversary model....I can tell bro here that the price you pay in HK is about S$1k cheaper.....some up to $1.5k if you compare to the price from Hour Glass here....

datejust model usually 20 to 23%.

sports model: some model no discount, some model 10 to 15% and some model must pay premium

23% for datejust??? Where?

So far best discount i can get is 18% from Penisula...

[Oceanklassik]

TTH @chinatown gave 20% discount for cash payment only.

Can try WP & THG @ LP, usually they give 20% for datejust ( C.C payment ),
if pay by cash they may give 1 to 3% more discount.

I went by Watch Palace (you refer as WP, correct?) and was offered only 15%. Says cash & CC is the same? How did you manage the 20%?

it is not always a definite that you will get 20%. some customers get 20%, some get 18%, some get 15%. the reason why the variation of discount is due to the AD and client relationship.

if say i buy about 4 watches a year from WP and i recommend about another 4 customers who buys another 4 watches from WP. most likely i can get 20%.

if say i buy 4 watches a year, i will probably get 18%

if say im a potential new customer, i will probably get 15%.

this is one of the possible reasons why some client get 15, some 18, some 20.

another possible reason is that they need to meet sales target. so they might offer more discount to entice a potential client.

another possible reason is due to the bargain skills of buyer.

as such, different people get different discount. if u know someone is able to get 20% @ a particular place, try asking. if they dont want to give, go to another shop. there are quite a number of shops selling rolex besides dickson. even dickson has several branches.

bottomline, if u want to get another 5%, do more leg work. it is just whether u feel it is worth ur effort to do more legwork.
