Official Submariner and Seadweller thread!

[triton]

Thanks for the replies.

The details I have found so far for pre-owned all seem to be fairly old, HK seems to have many negative comments regarding sales to non-locals, Japan is too far away and I've always enjoyed my visits to Singapore.

Hopefully I'll find what I'm looking for when I go to Singapore in May.

thanks for the feedback.

however, this is because new threads asking about pre-owned items have been started and questions asked in various threads have lead to outdated information. we will try to do something about it.

if you need assistance when looking for a rolex when u pop by next mth, send me a pm and i will try to help in whatever way i can.

Greetings to all,
I'm new to SG - ROC, this looks to be the best place for advice on buying a Submariner, (my apologies if this is the wrong place for this post).

I've been wanting to buy a Submariner 16613, blue dial for a while now, so to celebrate a pay rise I'm going to buy one next time I'm home. I live in Thailand but all the information I can find points to Singapore being the best place to spend my money.

I've been searching to try and find what sort of price and discount (if any) I should be looking at for a new one. If anyone can advise on best AD to buy it would be appreciated.

Also where to look for late as new condition pre-owned, if I stumble on a bargin I might go for a pre-owned.

Thanks.

welcome nspec. for rollie, you are half rite that spore may be a good place to throw yr $$$. as for other brands, spore falls short. best place is KL.

Did anyone realise that everyone seems to be dumping sub? I had that impression after my recent Jap trip and monitoring sales at Sg ROC. Prices are really going south.5 mths The prices are so close to my SD price now...

On the other hand, SD seems to be disappearing from sales thread....

Rumour Alert:
One of my staff who collect watches told me that his regular supplier tells him that SD are being 'kept' in anticipation of Deepseas arrival and its discontinuation aka GMT II. Hence u will not find much SD in the 2nd hand shops nowadays. Not sure how true though...

time will tell told me about the story of them buying the 16610LV. so now, they dont even bother to keep too much stock. between now till the arrival of DSSD will be at least 3-4 mths.

also, what is the DSSD end up like the YM II? just another sub series? if got money to hold then buy and hold. else my take is sell and make money first.

Astute observation bro!

bro... Congratulations... I initally wanted to get a black dial 16613 as my FIRST ROLEX... But the poison here got the better of me...

The reasong brothers here told u to enjoy yr watch and dun ask abt the price since u already got it is from a 3rd party perspective... Not tat they dun want to offer u any advice. Cos all they are saying is that DUN ask... If u did find tat u got slaughtered, u may feel negatively abt yr purchase that sours yr, supposedly "excited and overwhelmed" feeling u rightfully should be enjoying owning yr first Rolex...
Cos u nvr knw tat some newbie may say he can get it at blah blah price tat is not proven.. And all it takes is such a comment to make u feel negative right??
well.... If it sets yr mind at peace, its a fair deal... Sleep on this and dun let yr curiorsity get the better of u.

Cheers!
