Official Explorer Thread!

[Oceanklassik]

Hi, (Sorry newbie here, thanks for your patience)

I intend to get the New EX2 very soon. But I hope some kind soul here can help me with some of my queries - Don't want to walk into THG looking like a idiot or carrot:-

1) Do I have to go to different THG outlets to compare their prices or they have fixed it across. If no, which THG is deemed the fairest?
2) Does THG always have the 24mths 0% interest free credit scheme or only have it during certain period? If so, when will it usually be?
3) Does THG ever have a sale? Or is alike LV - Will never do a sale.
4) How long in years interval does a new Rolex needs to be serviced? How much will it typically cost?

Thanks if any bros here can answer me or kindly direct me to where i can find the answers at.

Cheers.

1) Yes, you can try the diff Hour Glass branches to seek out the best pricing.
2) Yes, the flexi-payment scheme offered to customers are almost, always available.
3) THG do have such sales but not often. Normally a once-a-year thingy.
4) No hard-and-fast-rule to servicing. Normally it's between five & six years if you really want. As for the cost, it's subjective whether it's done by the RSC or outside.

A reasonably good price. Note the watch condition and verify its authenticity if you want. If all's well, buy it!

Last year exactly this time they increased the price!

Tell me about it...... trying to scrape together the cash... need to earn more $$ like many of you bro's who buy a watch every 3 weeks....... my DREAM is fading

[myjianrong]

Yup I gotta act fast I think...... me worried about a rise end APR or Mid MAY 2012 !!

Agree with you there.....

Last time I thought can wait for price to eta Alize than buy the rolex I want but before that can happen, rolex raise prices and reduce discount.

Really loving these facts:
1. Local AD's are selling ExII 42mm's at list. ($10,360)
2. Local AD's have stock !!
3. Many are selling BNIB at even lower prices... $9.2-9.5K !!

Crunch time is coming.... demand wearing off.... finally.... and soon we'll see 5% discounts in Local AD's

The BNIB sellers may even hit a low of 9K to sell off..... soon... soon

I'm getting mine soon.... REAL SOON !

Actually I didn't really bargain. That was pretty much the walk in discount. I went to three shops prior to Dickson. All claimed they were out of stock. After converting to Sgd I though it was a pretty decent deal since it's below sgd10k do decided to go for it.

Thanks Bro...

Is this the best you got because:
- you know someone?
- of some superb bargaining skills?
- every other walk-in customer gets this price?

Cheers!!!

Got it from Dickson. They only offered 5% discount.

[roguehog]

Can you advise which shop (AD?) in HKG have you purchased your X2 (42mm) from?
Any discount offered?
