Buying from local AD

[Nomanland]

Hi bros out there, I'm planning to get 116610LN. Any reputable AD with good price to recommend ? Tks!

[Oceanklassik]

Most if not all local ADs are reputable. Price wise, it is better you check the individuals out yourself. Because different sales person give different disc rate, even within the same AD.

Good luck

prices and supply appear to have stabilised for black daytona. Last weekend happened to stroll into RWS AD, quoted 16k without bargaining.

Seems like this year Dec bonus period sales not so good for local AD? Tried walk in can get quite good discount easily without bargaining hard.

Buyers may be getting more sophisticated and going for higher end brands?

Just Checked with an AD in milan, price for DSSD is 9100 euro after tax refund.

i just bought a brand-new DSSD from Tokyo last week. here's some info i gathered as part of my research that may be useful for ppl who are planning to get one.

AD price in SG - SG$15,780
Standard discount from SG AD - 10% off
AD price in Japan ~ SG$12K+
Standard discount from Japan AD - None. They don't give any.

I got my DSSD from a established grey market dealer in Tokyo for ~ SG$10,700, which is more than 30% off from SG AD list price. This is inclusive of 5% tax rebate and cash payment.

Rws ad mark up prices of popular models like the black Daytona lv sub and batman. It's a good place to try on those watches though becos sure have stocks. Don't think most informed pple will pay those prices.

what is disadvantages buying from non AD vs AD ? also does the non AD give us warranty card with 2 years?

guess the difference is piece of mind (whether buying real or fake), otherwise the warranty is international

not sure about the sub lv or batman but quoted price for daytona black ss (without bargaining) seems in line with shops in the town.

Can the experts here verify this?

1. Buying from Airport is cheaper - retail disc plus 7% GST waived
2. Do they carry Rolex at Airport? I don't seem to be able to find any retailer from the Rolex website.

Thanks!

I have never bought watches at airport before but there's definitely -7% GST. But this being a Rolex boutique, I'm not sure if they give any discount off the selling price.

HI which AD give the best discount?

HI which AD give the best discount?

there's no simple answer for your question. it all depends on which model you're looking at. average models may have a 10% discount, popular models may have zero discount to even above retail pricing. for hot models like the current 116710BLNR, i heard you can't even get it without being on a wait-list due to stock availability.
