I think the AD's that sell higher than list are greedy capitalist criminals trained by banks and USA Government's......

I went to few shops today, heres the update:- (I only asked for the Orange 42mm White dial)

THG @ Raffles - No stock. Was quoted $10200.
THG @ Taka - No stock. Was quoted $10360.
Rolex @ ION - Got stock but selling at premium pricing of $13000.

All 3 outlets staff told me that this watch is under their 'High Demand Low Supply' list. Thus, no stock. Even got also will be selling at premium pricing.

On the side note, kudos to Rolex @ ION staff. I went in wearing shorts & slippers - Yet I was served like a VIP. Great service.

Its a load of BS.... so many of these are in AD's here right now... not to mention many on SG-ROC.... demand has faded some 6-8 weeks ago. ( note - a few AD's here have BOTH in stock.... some have not moved them in the last 2 weeks - I looked at the serial numbers )

And I mean THEY are BS not you bro... you are right

Some boutiques may be operated by certain AD (like Rolex ION is run by THG), but my understanding is that the boutiques must still follow strictly the guidelines set by the manufacturer. Unless Rolex allows the AD to mark up the price of watches sold at the boutiques, which is what my question was about...

Yet none of the staff can answer me - Which outlet can I buy a Orange Hand, 42mm, White Dial at $10360 using 36mths 0% scheme?

All of them ask me to wait until stock come.

I guess this is call 'Cash is KING'!

Rolex ion run by the hour glass (thg)
Rolex Hilton run by sincere.

Anyone knows who runs the roles at mbs?

Not really la. They also offer same deal ($10360) if you use credit card but without interest-free installment plan.

I also first time heard...but then I have never check the price in any Rolex boutique.

To me it doesn't matter who runs the boutique. It's up to Rolex to set the guidelines for such a concept store. If it is indeed true that Rolex allow price flexibility at the boutiques, then they have a difference business model from the other brands. Such a business model that aligns prices according to "market price" is more substainable (as opposed to boutiques that serve more as a show room for branding purpose).
