yah..ADs sell according to guidelines ba... or ask ohlins to setup a shop and be AD lor... then we call can get rolex at 'distributor' prices... hahaa

[exarkun]

Like that ohlins a few months later close shop . 'Distributor' prices no profit cannot cover operational cost leh. I just need him to sell me a daytona at MSRP good enough. Maybe 20-30% discount on popular model also great.

[louisoh]

haha.. bogus shop ma... waiting for ohlins comments... lol...

[Darkangel]

Or..we all pool in money and invest. Set up a shop and apply for ADealership.

Hehehe...but capital si beh high la

[louisoh]

can online shop ?...

[marineguy8888]

Online shop IMHO will not work lar .

People wanna buy expensive watch they will not go to a shop with no nice and grand shop front . It will be difficult to close deal as ppl will think this shop might be a fly by night one and might be getting replica watches at real watch prices . So if really wanna do muz be grand and nice . I think minimum 2 million capital . 100K overhead and renovations + stocks + deposit .

And if i remember correctly to get AD status for certain brands need to place a substaincial amount of deposit with the different brands to be allowed to carry AD status and if a replica was found to be sold from your shop the deposit will be forfeited . Anyone with more accurate info pls feel free to chip in .
