Mostly likely grey market, if it's BNIB

how actually to find those grey market sellers?

Been to the Europe last 3 weeks, but the price is no way near our forum sellers at all.
is rather disappointing to see price actually higher in Europe than in Singapore.

say for an AP black theme, it cost around 31,000. But here we can get it around 23,500 :bang wall:

I think the ADs do not offer that great of a discount sometimes to walk-ins.

But a lot of ADs actually sell to their regulars (whom may actually be grey dealers here), they always buy from them to come here and resell. Thus they are able to get discounts that is not possible for regular customers.

Hi guys, I am looking at purchasing this vintage AP Royal Oak 4100SA two tone in 35mm Automatic with original paper from 1979 but now box. Overall in great condition aesthetically and keeping good time. Is S$10,000 too pricey or is this a good deal? I have a a small wrist so most are my watches are 34-39mm only.

Looking forward to hear from you guys. Thank you
