Cortina Watch Service

[latitude]

yday I went to two of Cortina's outlet - Paragon and Raffles City (even though I read so many bad reviews of Cortina I walked in in my Uniqlo Tee shirt and cheapo watch...hehe). not very impressed with the paragon branch SA. But the Raffles City SA was good. shown me a lot of options. I left my name on his waiting list. let's see if he calls me

No wrong for a Army boy wearing a Rolex, till date I'm in the Army too, every 5 years I bought a Rolex, my son 17 years old, have two Rolex (submariner for his PSLE and a GMT for his 'O' level).

I'm with you on that! A Crown for Every Achievement!

so far i'm not too impressed with the cityhall branch.

The branch at millenia walk service ok (i went 2 times, never made any purchase, the sale chap was very patient and suggested brand and type of watches that suit my taste n roughly my budget).

The best service so far from the big 3, i would said is HG.

Yes, so far HG provide good services, over at ICON & Taka both service good!

Encounter poor service again, was at Cityhall and surprise to see Ball watches/BMW roadshow, so went in. Saw one which i like but nobody approach me, look around, salesman talking to each and pretend never see me....LL walk away

I am in retail trade too. I do scan walk in customers and assess their buying power too. At times I may be wrong but mostly I am close or dead on! But occasionally there are people who are fully decked out in branded goods with shallow pockets...haha thats just life

Hahahaha .... Bro, I fit the type of sloppily dressed with very very shallow pockets .... so hard to attract any attention from you ....

Looks like the next time to get more tender loving care from the SAs, I will bring a fully loaded wallet then "accidentally" drop on the floor to show my buying power kekekeke

Juz joking lah .... It is just human nature to judge people by their appearances ....

[seiko.citizen]

without a doubt impression counts. as a person in retail, ive been guilty of it too!

[Rollielover]

Have to agree with the bros that most SAs do scan their customers especially the watches the potential customer wear - to assess how much attention (service) to provide to a walk in customer .... When I walked into one of the ADs with an intention to buy my first rolex (dressed in t shirt and berms with a casio g shock dangling on my wrist), I got zero attention hehehe ..... So when I returned the next day in my office wear, I witnessed a complete turn around in the level of service .... Immediately I was invited to sit down and offered hot tea .... The SAs were laughing at every joke I made and commented that a rolex would provide the extra bling bling effect at the workplace and social gatherings .... End of the day, I bought my rolex and left the store with a deep impression that appearance does play a part (unfortunately but true)....

Does anyone know where has good discount for Rolex? I'm planning to get a Rolex ladies watch. hehe... I checked out cortina & Hour glass.. both 10% only.. heard that we're able to get 15% from others but not sure where..

Thx!!

So far, I've only heard that no matter where you go, the discount is given strictly at only 10% for all ss (stainless steel) and tt (two tone) models. Only the full precious metals models are given 15% discount. Let the other members (those with much better lobangs) come in to help you.

Good luck!

[Your God-mom is RIGHT! When you have the intention to buy, SHOW THEM THE MONEY and expect GOOD service... if no intention to buy, don't act like a KING....

So eventually, what watch you bought from Vivo Sincere? Vivo WOS only got a few brands that is also carry at Vivo sincere. Like omega etc.

Different people, different experience. Some say cortina sucks, then some said good. One ear in, one ear out. Experience yourself to seek the truth. Everyone has it days.
