Current Daytona SS Pricing

[Reborn]

Let me clarify the situation

Who is the referer that introduce you to Alex? Is Alex a forumer in SG-ROC?

Glad that you have asked him to fly kite.

I am the one who provided info on the possible deal after seeing interest on a Daytona on this site. The seller offered me the watch via email but I was not interested.

So when I drew attention to the deal, and said that there is this deal at SGD 15600, I reminded buyers that I am not responsible for the authenticity because I have not seen the watch. From the money point of view, I also have nothing to do with this watch - it's not mine. Therefore there is no reason for me to provide a guarantee on the watch. Lastly, I have never bought from the guy even though I met him about twice or thrice in the past, as fellow watch collectors who got to know each other via the internet. So my repeated advice to potential buyers is - better check at RSC to be sure.

However, we cannot now accuse him of trying to cheat or anything because there is no proof of this. I think he was prepared to deal at an AD in Singapore, and was offering it at SGD 15600. (At least this was what he said. ) The deal fell through with some because of price, and others over the RSC inspection. Personally, I would also not buy anything not inspected at RSC if I do not know the seller well. So I think buyers were right to walk away from the deal.

Having said this, I feel that the only conclusion we can make is this - no RSC inspection, no deal. Or that this is not a friendly or flexible dealer. But to extrapolate beyond this is being presumptuous because we have no proof.

Hi Bro Reborn, thanks for your indepth clarification and sharing.

I think you are very helpful for trying to fullfill other Bros' dream, which I think is the true spirit of SG-ROC; sharing of info is the power of success in this community.

I strongly advice other than purchase for AD or trusted pre-owned shop, we should send the watches to RSC for verification, this will save guard your interest and investment. Don't ever step into a trap as enough lessons have learnt from other's mistake.

Actually I felt kind of bad

Anyway, bro Reborn had been a great help , he remind me time and again not to deal with him if seller not willing to deal in RSC .

He already mention in his PM to me that he cannot vouch for the seller as he did not deal with him b4 , he also advise me to bring it to RSC not only to verify but also to made sure its not some stolen rolex .

Like what bro reborn say , Think this Alex is not trying to sell something fake from my observance , but he is just not friendly and infact quite rude to his customer . Thats enough for me to decided not to deal with him .

I dun expect great service from him , but at the very least , he should ans our enquiry instead of telling you go get from AD if i don't trust him .But how can i trust him when he not willing to let me bring to RSC and i had never deal with him b4.

After all, i just ask him for the best price , he say $15.6k , i didnt even neg. with him .
Its only after he say he not willing to meet at RSC , than i decided not to proceed with the deal .

Now he gets to keep his watch and i keep my cash , so let us put an end to all this and move on .

Anyway thanks bro reborn again for your kind help !
Although eventually i did not buy the daytona , but i still appreciate it !

yah lor, bro Reborn is only trying to help us get a better deal. $15.6k cash is a good price for daytona black dial. but without verification, i rather pay another 1k to get it at sg AD.

I wanna know too. Thanks.

will buyer ... willling seller = deal

The practice in this forum should be:

willing buyer + willing seller + verification = deal.

16.6k from AD very good price. Most people asking 17K+...

[tomcatf]

There are many experts in this forum that can verify with one look & feel.. Alternatively bring Darkie along... he has posted before $20.00 for verification...

Yah loh, Dakie just shake the watch abit will know if the watch if fitted with fake juwels... That is the power of Rolex Psychic...
