where would you recommend to get a sub LV in KL? i looked around online, even used are going at around 34k, and new 39k.

citacitata honestly, unless you have a regular salesperson to put it on hold for you, you'll just have to keep searching until you find an AD with one in store. Its not impossible; SWG in Sentral had one, but walk=in rate is incredibly high. Two months back, a friend of mine bought one at 37k, can't believe they are now asking 38-39k. Good luck with your hunt.

Finally, i found the Hulk. ahha

How easy is it to get either the BLNR and the Hulk in kl?

citacitata excellent news, verry good stuff. Which AD and what price?

Kelvw I wouldn't say easy, but neither is it too difficult, if you have a regular salesperson. Walk-in customer would need a bit of luck- no one has it on "hold" and hope the AD doesn't have a ridiculous mark-up.

Bought a 2015 one from a friend. 34k..feels good to have my first rolex!

Don't know how to take wrist shot yet.

Nice.

Congrats that's a really nice watch! Still contemplating between this or the BLNR.

Dear Rolex gurus in Lyn, wanted to ask if anyone can guide me in this matter;

Recently in a market for a pre-owned Rolex, normally I reside in Aus but due to favourable currency rates, Malaysia is a much better place to get luxury watches.

Normally I use credit card. However, I came across Swiss Connection in The Weld, Kuala Lumpur, seems like their policy is Cash only.

For a watch that cost rm20k, is it normal for you guys to use cash as transaction?
I thought of using credit card, but didn't know that is the case for them.


Not used to carrying money over 1 or 2k in cash at all.

Anyone here can shed some light? If it is quite normal, then no choice, I have to withdraw cash just to buy this wonderful timepiece!



Thank you heaps!!

not sure why they insist on using cash.
afaik, they also take card.

are u really talking to them directly? or someone just representing them? via email? try not to get scammed here.
better just call them directly.

i paid 30 over Ks in cash

I see I see. Good idea, I went through their Facebook page.

Ok, I will call their store directly at the Weld to see whether they can do CC, instead of relying on their FB page.

Also, I will for sure go to their physical address to purchase the watch.

Just preferred credit card mostly.





Thanks for the advise!

hahaha...need to carry briefcase for the transaction?

Wah, wouldn't it be safer if you do instant bank transfer? Damage is 50sen only vs the risk 😅

Its pretty normal for people to pay by cash for their watches as some shops offer a cheaper price when you use cash as they do not have to pay that 3% plus of charges.

Though I've never heard of the shop that you mentioned

citacitata nice, congrats and enjoy in good health :-)

Tokyonite I only buy on credit, but when it comes to selling watches, payment is typically bank transfer. I have had a few instances with cash (risky, also I do not have a cash counting machine - so based on trust with buyer) or bank draft. I only ever hand over a watch after money is shown in my account. I've seen folks pay for their purchases in cash (saw a guy pay for his Richard Mille in cash last week), but that's an AD and not all too unusual.

Swiss Connection is legit, but may be a good idea to swing by and speak to the people there first (instead of over FB chat).

RM 30k isn't very bulky in actual. 3 bundle of 100 pcs of RM100 notes each. That's about 1 inch thickness I guess.

If no special discount for cash purchase, make the purchase with credit card and utilize the 0% installment (no admin/processing fee). Put the allocated cash into FD on 1 month maturity. Use the FD fund to pay the installment upon each monthly maturity.

I too have seen some transaction with Cash for Richard Mille over at grey dealer. A backpack is all you need.

Hi Rolex sifu,

I would like seek advice for my first Rolex watch purchase.

My concern is

1) What the difference between purchase at Rolex shop found in major shopping complex compare to those shop advertise in FB? (For example: Swiss connection, Time Galaxy or Watchclub publika) Besides cheaper price...any disadvantages?

2) How do I know is the movement inside the watch not tempered or swap if I purchase from those not Rolex dealer shop? I know can send to Rolex service center for verification but what IF really found the movement has been modify....what can I do?

3) The 5 years international warranty still valid? Since the watch not purchase from authorized dealer and is a grey unit.

Anyone here have experience buying Rolex from non authorized Rolex shop in Malaysia?

Many thanks in advance.

My point of view since this is your 1st time.

Buy from Rolex official retailer or AD like the hour glass, swiss watch gallery, cortina etc.
