Who first brought Rolex into Singapore market?

[kawatsu]

Hi,

Im currently doing a school project and would like to know who was the first person (full name, if possible) to bring in Rolex watches and sell?

Is he the owner of "Tong Building" too?

Thanks!

Wow may I know what school and subject you are in? I also wanna join man!

I m in a business course...so yeah no chance at this kinda projs

Tong Building owner...nah I don't think so.

Who first brought Rolex into SG...I think one of the ex-ADs...Roy Eastern? Don't quote me..just guessing

Wow! This is not easy to find out man. The only most reliable source will be from ROLEX itself but then again, how accurate can it be? Good to know. Do share your findings if can.

Tx.

hi guys,

thanks for your reply.

still cant find any reliable sources leh. this guy who brought in Rolex must be really low key!

think maybe have to change a topic already..

Dont worry, i wont be quoting you guys, i just need a name and will try to google from there.

But right now, dont even have a name!

Who is THG?

[Oceanklassik]

You can check the forum abbreviations by searching. Btw, "THG" refers to "The HOUR Glass". Maybe you'd like to visit one of these watch companies/retailers to do your research. There may also be one or two gurus here who may be able to introduce you to some reliable contacts.

Anyway maybe such things are only best if you go down to Rolex Service Centre and ask the pretty auntie there Look for the 1 with a whitegold with diamonds masterpiece datejust...and oh she has a 1.5ct ring on her finger with some other blings...
