Hi 116520,

Here you go!

My reply: This is my first luxury watch. I am proud of it.



To: Seiko Citizen
My reply: Good idea! To send them this link, but I can't find any Dickson Watch's email that I can complain this young saleman. As mentioned that I am not look down on them, but they have to consider that a luxury watch cost about S$5000.00 plus. This is a monthly salary of an average or professional worker's salary. Let us be professional especially you are in the sale. If the saleman is unhappy, and selective on his clients, we can also selective on the saleman. I bought my Omega Speedmaster Professional at Hour Glass (Knightsbridge). I went there with my wife and 2 of my female friends. The staffs at Hour Glass (Knightsbridge) not only serve me with drink but also asked the ladies what drink do they want, when they are not selling any watch. We were invited to their Rolex VIP Room to examine my new watch. I am impressed with their service.

@skydiver: to really piss them off, you can go back and flash your omega speedy pro at the arrogant SE. Or as one guy once told me, send this link to the company and let the whole company know

So far my worst experience is at WOS Vivo. The first thing when I walked into their shop, all their SE's eyes stare at what you wear on your wrist. Then came the bo chap attitude. Did not even bother to bring out the watches from their showcase even when you show interest... Eventually I bought it from Sincere Vivo.

Show us some pictures of your new love...

Hi Guys,

I would like to share about my experience too. I was wearing a Polo T-shirt, Jean and wearing my Swatch. I went to Hour Glass (Millenia Walk), Cortina (Millenia Walk), Dickson Watch (Suntec), Sincere (Suntec).

1st Class Service= Hour Glass & Cortina at Millenia Walk.
Remark: They are serve me very well, and show me a large range of watch. I am impressed with them.

2nd Class Service= Sincere at Suntec
Remark: The service is not matching to their name. But they did show me a couple of watches since no other customer in the shop.

Worst Service= Dickson Watch at Suntec
Remark: This is the worst. They only serve customer who are in proper attire. They don't bother to attend you, the young sale man super proud. Not to discriminate his job but at least he must do his part to intro the watch. This is the worst shop.

I would like to advise the sale man in Dickson Watch, Suntec on 01/04/11 at about 1930hrs (if he saw this post) that the man in Polo T-shirt, Jean and wearing Swatch, had bought a Omega Speedmaster Professional from Hour Glass.

Tx for sharing. I've read. But were you really, really in the shop for "90 mins" ? Or were they (staff+customers) really, really talking for "90 mins"

Yup.... I have to say that I was being "quite" patient that day to wait for that sales guy..... but then, maybe I am kpo becoz I wanna to know which Rolex model would that couple get eventually. :P

Wow man, army boy also can wear rolex. Young people simply got too much money nowadays.

Eveyone would sure encounter some good and bad services. I went to Cortina at Millenia Walk early part of this years. I was dress in my usual Levis jeans/T-shirt/BALL watch and the staffs there were quite nice. I was just looking at Cartier and I told the salesman outright that I can not afford anything from Cartier. But the salesman was polite and entertained me. He even shoved me some Cartier ladies mini-catalogue.

Recently(like a few weeks back), I went to Cortina at Ion Orchard to oggle at the new BALL watches, after being poisoned by TamWL new BALL lume shots. I was in my bermudas/T-shirt and my usual BALL watch. I told the salesman upfront that I am not buying any watches but he even insisted me to try the watches.

Maybe if you look at watch like rolex, AP, PP and VC in the ADs. The salesperson there, maybe would be a bit see you no-up if you dress a bit not so smart-e.g wearing slipper and etc. What to do man, wear BALL cannonball (cost me more than plus/minus 4k) also kana say by people that it is a cheap watch. What do you expect the salesperson to treat you when you dun dress nice to see expensive watches.

Not all AD in singapore judge u what u wear. I wore cheap t-shirt and bermuda and sanda to Orchard HG and they still serve me well even before closing the deal with them.

Clearly stated by you, "my rolex DJ only", she must've spotted that and derived that you are a watch lover/collector of sort. Another likely reason is your good looks lor ..

[redneckk]

come to think of it, last year when i was just months out of army, i was outside AP boutique at raffles city. i was interested in a 15300 but was just admiring the other watches on display outside. a friendly sales girl invited me in. (i was wearing t shirt and shorts + my rolex DJ only). then i explained to her that im interested in the 15300. she said they dont have stock but suggested the 15202 instead. patiently explained to me the differences and brought it out for me to try too. very impressed with that. if i remember correctly she quite chio. HAHA. OT!

Although it is easier to be said than done, we should not be overly upset with those poor attitude SAs since we are the customers. If you dun like their behaviour or attitude, juz walked out from the store. No point feeling frustrated, it will only make us unhappier.

Yah, after going to most watch shops in SG. I think its your luck whether u get good or poor service. It depends on the individual SA and also the branch manager.

But what I can't tahan is the SA trying to smoke u out. Kena a few times before, esp wrt to price and watch knowledge.

Like what Bro Seiko.citizen also experienced - "had one SA tell me that the cyclops on rolex's are *german accent* "very rare!" my friend said; next time you tell him, man with penis also very rare "
