[dwarfy]

thanks for e explanation ..personally i think LV is rather unique but i thot since it's his 1st masterpiece I shall not be too adventurous tt's y i thot e SS will be a versatile one for him ...haiz din noe buying a watch can be such a headache.. shld hv planned to get him something simpler...hahaha ...

but shall pop by one of e AD these few days to try out e watches...

[triton]

ur husband is lucky that you buying a rolex for him. i want also dont have.

anyway, there are difference in discount structure depends on mode of payment and type of card payment .

mode of payment

1) most discount - cash
2) master/visa
3) lowest discount - amex/diners/jcb/.....

type of card payment

1) master/visa *no instalment* - better discount
2) master/visa * instalment plan* - less discount

also bargain skills plays a part. SA desparate for sales also play a part. walk-in customer will get less discount compared to regular/valued customer.

so dont be surprise that A can get 5% while B can get 8% while C can get 10%. different factors involved. once in a blue moon some SA will quote either wrong price of wrong discount. then u heng lor.

Well this ain't no ordinary watch we are talking about.

The purchase of this watch will have a story behind it. His a lucky man.

I do understand yr headache but look at it as a good problem as u truly believe yr husband would be extremely touched.

SS means stainless steel while TT means two tone (stainless steel bracelet but gold at the center of be bracelet), and usually refers to the bracelet.

I would think a decision between TT or SS depends on when he will wear it. I he wears it regularly, and is at high management or Need to reflect status, then TT maybe suitable, else if only worn on special big occasion, TT may also be more suitable. SS would be more suitable if he wish to wear it more regularly and don't want too much attention on his watch or as a daily beater if he wants to as it's easier to match.
I think u wun go wrong with any if those bros suggested. For sub LV, u have to check if it's colour of liking.

[exxondus]

actually i don recommend SubLV.

since gg to be 1st Rolex, u want soemthing that is timeless and not soemthing that requires an acquired taste.

black can be worn for all occasions

I fully agree with you but for all we know, her hubby may love green? For me I really like the color blue so my first 3 pricy watches were all blue dial. Ü
Now it's all black or White dial.

A timepiece that will never go wrong. Its iconic, classic, colour is neutral.... man, woman, half man half woman oso like.... dun fall in love with it yourself after getting it for your hubby.....

[dwarfy]

hahaha.. i totally agree with you Grex ...i would luv to share e watch but his wrist is bigger than mine :-(

so far prices I've gotten for Sub SS is $8228 from HG (nett no discount) & $7800 from a local AD. I cannot find anything lower than tt...
pls do let me noe/recommend if u hv a better lobang ... cuz i dunno anyone who has watch dealings...

[triton]

THG is possible to get 5%. discount structure currently is pretty stiff. however, as pointed out by one forum member, there is a new piece going for a lower price than this. this is an overseas set. would you want to consider?

BNIB V Series Sub Date the price is a whopping 12% discount. furthermore, it is still negotiable. but should you want to purchase this watch, meet the seller @ RSC to authenticate the watch.

buy cash voucher then ask him go see see look look then buy later...

Hi Triton,
may I know wat risk would there be to get an overseas set?
- BNIB does it mean confirm it would be totally brand new?
- would RSC open up e watch & verify everything & certify tt every single parts are original?
- if I meet the seller @ RSC, do they do e authentification on e spot?
Sorry if the questions seem dumb but i am really clueless ...

btw.. my fren juz purchased a GMT IIc 2day..heard fr e AD tt Sub Date will hv a new facelift in 2010 ... so if it's true.. if I were to purchase e SS now, will it be worthless when e new version is released?

not really, it have to depend on which one you like. For me, i prefer the current version, not the new version. You can go to Rolex.com to have a look at the new subs first.
