Dark Angel:

How much is the price of the Rolex DJ in basic stainless steel. What is a popular face?

Yah I much older than you and have 6 year old daughter so planning to pick one up to keep for her 16th birthday. At the rate prices are going up I figure I might just as well buy one now.

Anyway if you were buying something for a young 16/18 year old girl what would you get.

[Darkangel]

but will they entertain me just for verifying and not buying anything from them?? or are there steps to be taken when asking? have to pay not?

eh darkie.. thanks for your expertise.. u seem to be helping lots of ppl here hor.. thanks ah!

You try to kehkeh ask him to quote u a price la...then say u dun want to sell after he quote you.U can also ask him for details of the diamond and stuff...he might just tell u.

But if he quotes u a price,u can be sure it's genuine diamonds. That's for sure. Then u tell him u not happy with the price and leave. Pls la..dun say u want to verify...hahhaha

Yeah...I try to help as much as I can,of course some times I maybe wrong but will learn as much as I can from the pros here when they correct me. I love this place...that's why I am willing to come here everyday for hours and hours just waiting for questions to reply

dun advise u go pawn shop...but u can still...prefer 1st Jewellery or Shin Tat though more quiet or "private" haha. Coz they do take in diamond and stuff..so definitely they hav machine and the knowledge to tell the clarity and colour and stuff.

dear rolex mates, i was thinking of getting another 16234 from a distant friend(not quite trustable one lah)..

but it comes with diamond bezel.. nice..

my question is how and where am i supposed to verify whether the diamonds are genuine.

no prob verifying the watch at tong ctr as he still have the original white gold bezel..

thanks!

If he charges u more for the diamond bezel then u have to check it out. But I think the way he says it,he does charge for the extra bezel.

Firstly,it's not much of verifying if the diamonds are genuine,but more of the quality. 5Cs as usual. THe diamonds can be genuine but is it worth paying for some lousy ones even though it is real. Maybe you can ask him for a receipt of how much he paid for the custom diamond dial. If he doesnt have,you might have to bring it down to a jeweller/pawnshop/diamond & gold dealers like 1st Jewellery or my dealer Shin Tat to take a look?

How much is he asking?

[Oceanklassik]

I think still can lesser la...but these days I thought SS models shld cost 7k? or m i just slow haha

U r right. Te list price of SS DJ was $7085 dated Jan08.

[stylocool]

Sorry for that...any other place can offer better price?

[Darkangel]

I think i confuse everyone...the price tag without discount is $8320...so after 20% discount is $6656 (cash only). Thinking of bargaining for 22%. Btw how much does a SS DJ 18k with markers cost?

Yeah u did get me mixed up...hahha...i think it's decent for another 2% discount...
