Do you guys buy Rolex from Pawnshops??

Is it really cheaper as it seems?

My $0.02...

The best place to buy watches cheaper than outside preowned shop is in our very own garage. you cut down on the middleman...go direct to seller. Seller can sell for a better price than the trade in value at preowned shops and buyers can buy at lower prices than preowned shop. Win win situation!

So recommended place..

1) SGROC Garage
2) Preowned watch dealers
3) Pawn shops....if you are ok with pieces that come w/o box and papers just the watch only. This is usually for those who buy to wear only. and not like...collect or something

[seiko.citizen]

no. preowned dealers. who specialise in preowned watches.

first paragraph - well said. this is what i do.

second paragraph, i usually go to a new shop, paiseh to go back same shop. ask them for the max discount, if it is what i can get, i buy on the spot.

if you make your mind on the spot, usually you show the seriousiness of your intent on buying. the SA also see you in a different light, because given that i was the SA, i will really respect this type of buyer.

Bro ''look new'' doesnt mean it's new cos no matter how old e watch may looks after some pro polishing work done on it, it will look damn new again!
U might wana check e yr manufactured n stuff, go look around ask around n compare e age, B n P, links, pinhole or not(preference) n condition. write down somewhere go home have a beer clear ur mind a little before u commit, this is wat i do. My personnal advise "dun try till u decided which to buy fr cos once try is like drinkin poison"

ha hope it helps

agree with your points. please check carefully before paying. i usually look out for signs of mismatching work, like the polishing work, the hands and dials, etc.

just walk out and come back with a better price and see if he is interested in your business.
dont bargain unless you are prepared to buy on the spot.

normally i do this. scout all the shops, and get lowest price with maximum discount. then i go back to the shop i want to give my business to, and tell them that i have been quoted S$xxxx.xx with xx% discount. if you can do better you have the business.
