Hi guys,

Thanks for your all kind and prompt advice - Helped me a lot. But I've got another question, as I am kind of confused on this following:-

I understand that both the new orange hand ex2 and the red hand ex2 have both the white and black dial - I did saw all the beautiful pixs you guys posted.

But how about the face mm:- (I read the posts and saw that the orange hand got 42mm and red hand got 40mm.)
So, does the orange hand comes in 40mm?
And does the red hand comes in 42mm?

The 'red' GMT hand is on the older Explorer II model (16570) which has the 40mm case. The 'orange' GMT hand is only available on the new model (216570), the one with the 42mm case. And both models (older & new) come in black and white dials.

Many in stores here in SG now.... looking last two days some AD's have both White and Black... AND selling at list, in fact a few are verbally announcing "we are selling this at list".

Many selling on SG-ROC recent days from 8.8K - 9.1K.... Prices are falling for sure.... soon time to snap one up

( GMT2C are selling on SG-ROC super cheap also )

i was quoted the same. the new X2 black dial comes with the new orange GMT hand. the bracelet is heavy too. quite nice looking. X2 white dial is currently out of stock.

I got mine in hong kong for sgd9.5k. I asked for the white at first but it didn't really appeal to me in real life as it did in pics. Asked to look at the black instead. I prefer the black cos the orange stands out better on the black dial. Especially the wordings.

bro,

do look around if you are seriously considering getting one cos i was told by a friend who's also looking for one that a few ad's are offering sgd10360 the recommended retail price now. no premium. i was told sincere is one of them but no stock at the moment.

Yup - I know that's the price... also many avail on SG-ROC for anywhere from 9.1-9.5K was just highlighting how stupid some AD's can be.......

not stupid...they know there are buyers who are willing to pay those prices, for example some rich tourists.

Hi, (Sorry newbie here, thanks for your patience)

I intend to get the New EX2 very soon. But I hope some kind soul here can help me with some of my queries - Don't want to walk into THG looking like a idiot or carrot:-

1) Do I have to go to different THG outlets to compare their prices or they have fixed it across. If no, which THG is deemed the fairest?
2) Does THG always have the 24mths 0% interest free credit scheme or only have it during certain period? If so, when will it usually be?
3) Does THG ever have a sale? Or is alike LV - Will never do a sale.
4) How long in years interval does a new Rolex needs to be serviced? How much will it typically cost?

Thanks if any bros here can answer me or kindly direct me to where i can find the answers at.

Cheers.

THG can do 32 mth interest-free instalments. Best if you use a DBS card. Other cards may be accepted, but you might have to call bank for approval which is a real hassle.

1) Yes, you can try the diff Hour Glass branches to seek out the best pricing.
2) Yes, the flexi-payment scheme offered to customers are almost, always available.
3) THG do have such sales but not often. Normally a once-a-year thingy.
4) No hard-and-fast-rule to servicing. Normally it's between five & six years if you really want. As for the cost, it's subjective whether it's done by the RSC or outside.

And it is VERy VERy VErY unlikely they will ever put the x2 or Amy rolex on sale during their sales.
