Rolex Buying Guide

[shawn77]

bought rolex bezel diamond from Peng Kwee SGD1,400/pc less than 2 weeks thinking to sell back to them, only offer SGD200-300 only.
I bought 2 pcs ( man and boys diamond bezel ) Kinda regret bought from them, avoid the pretty sales lady trust me

Pardon me for my ignorance...but what has got pretty bimbos gotta do with buying rolex ? They promise to sleep with you when u buy from them ? They'll give you their numbers ? They'll be your girlfriend for a week ? I seriously think they know nutz.

I went into Peng Kwee Lucky Plaza few mths back...and of them walked up to me and said "Any LOLEK for you ? "

I thought to myself "wtf..."

No worries i'm not criticizing...just curious on why pple would be induced by their "charm" into buying an expensive item...just my personal opinion

well... as a short quote in marketing goes "sex sells" and it is evident that some people got and will continue to have people getting sucked in

as i always say, do your own leg work, and buyer beware.

looks like the marketing strategy works, otherwise gals will not continue to have employment. just like beer ladies in the coffee shops. it's all about hormones.

some shops in Bencoolen also use chicks to serve clients.

actually same strategy as some high class boutiques lah, only difference is style of dressing, and degree of finesse.

[ejaan]

This setup must really worked for them. They have survived till now.

what you like/dont like, others may dont like/like respectively.

having said that, they seem to be doing OK. so something they are doing, at least it is putting them on the right track

get attracted to the shops.

Hey, when you are 60 years old, body start aching everywhere and waist size bigger than 45 inches, wife starts nagging every day, children have their own lives, these chicks may help you find your sense of purpose in life man. And they baby you as you pick your bling bling date-just while your mind wanders and imagines what post-sales service you may enjoy - hahaha - no wonder the marketing strategy works..... hahaha

Sometimes men don't need too many reasons to part with big money, just two reasons will do, one on the right and one on the left. sigh......

same price that i was quoted when i was shopping at THG in PJ.

18k is a really good price, which is ard 7.2k Sing. So tempted to get one but it was out of stock.

Perhaps u can share with me on how many % discount can i get for a datejust. Was quoted 15% but was thinking maybe can squeeze for more!

estrangable,

They quote me 16% paying by credit card. Hope for more.

[shawn77]

The selling price is inclusive of those overheads like service etc...would you pay someone who can't even pronounce the brand they're selling ? (rolex=LOLEK...omg) Not putting in any effort at all. All they can do is stand there and be bimbo.

[balllover]

those gals at peng kwee are just ah lians with no brains!

reminds me of banks hiring pretty gals to sell unit trust. you think those gals know anything about finance? most of them haven't even bought a single stock in their life!

Very good point. This is very common in preowned Rolexes esp

I am new to this forum and trying to learn.

Does that mean those watches for sale under "pre-owned" ;

1) not brand new, but never being used/worn ;
or 2) 2nd hand item being worn by another previous owner ?

[triton]

Pre-Owned are likely to mean watches that has been worn by previous owners.

"not brand new but never used/worn" are you referring to NOS where the words brand new means not current series/edition.
