It might not be the 116610.
Saw one the non ceramic sub-c at Rolex AD at Ion the other day, the price tag was SGD 7,500s something.

Saw one in a shop in abu dhabi ,,,,,,,Sub c
Price around 5800sg yet discount...but not AD
Any advise before buying

One thing to consider is AD inventory levels - there aren't a ton of SS subs date lying around, and demand being always exceeding supply for the SS models, these dealers don't need to discount. Rolex appears to be a doing a good job of constraining supply and closing rogue dealers to keep prices up. And there's apparently a price increase coming again in late-2012, might be another 5-7%.

It is a different story for the TT and fullgold models, apparently demand for these are less than that for SS, hence discounts are always higher for these models, despite the higher list price. Last heard a fullgold GMT2C can go for 20% off, while a TT can go for 10-15% off

I finally got the 116610LN from one of Singapore Rolex boutiques.
Cost me SGD 9980 after GST refund. Not bad.

[jackjack]

:S

jackjack bro, you are too humble.
"newbie" but your watches are hardly classified under that, especially when you put the full functions of the daytona into listing!

drool drool.

Heh heh =) Rolex can be quite or rather very addictive at times. alternating the daytona and GMT2 now for daily wear. Seriously I never had a GMT2 before and quite ignorant and a 4-hands-watch can be very a bit 'handful' for me to handle initially. getting used to it and loving the look!

[jackjack]

Thanks buddy. finally i know that Singapore in GMT +8. hmmm.... A few things to play, and a few to discover with the GMT2... never regret that piece

Okay, now your Green hand (GMT hand) is showing slightly short of 16, which is the same as your normal hands 1548 H.
So essentially you are not using the GMT function.

Your GMT hand should be positioned at the GMT time, which in this case is either at 0748 H (if it is 1548), or at 1748 H (if it is 348 AM)
This is because Singapore is GMT +8. (Meaning that if the GMT hand is at 24, the local time should read 8am)

If you go other countries, then you can just set the rotating bezel to the corresponding GMT +/- and read off the GMT hand.

Or you can do the maths yourself and add / minus the hours accordingly from the green hand in your new time zone to get the local time.

The point of the GMT function is so that when you go to any time zone, and with knowledge of the GMT local variation, you can add / minus as required to know your local time, at the same time know what time it is back home in Singapore.

Nice watches! Hope to get the GMT ceramic or Sub TT black-gold next. :S

Thanks mkv for the explanation too.

Actually allowing the GMT hand (red hand) to be at local time (Singapore for me for example), is better imho.
This will allow you to 'quickset' the country you are travelling to with the hour hand, as you would not have the need to pull the crown out all the way out, and thus disrupt any pinpoint time keeping you have been upkeeping. Also, setting the GMT hand is slightly more tedious if you compare it to setting the hour hand.

So in short :
GMT hand = your local time
hour hand = foreign time
bezel = up to you to set, but usually dont need to, unless you are a frequent flyer across 3 time zones like commercial pilots

No right and wrong I guess.
I could be wrong though, veterans please advise.
