Not just Sub Date as I'm planning to get other Rolex like GMT Master II, Explorer 2, Dayjust, Sky-Dweller and Day Date in the future.

As the SA from THG Mid Valley keeps giving me vague responses like "Yes you still can get it without purchase history!" but no timeframe at all or "We don't do bundle here!" but actually in behind they are indirectly doing it, I guess it will be a waste of time to wait for nothing. Don't wanna wait until I die and still no call. All 5 stars reviews but no one can buy anything, might as well just call it a Rolex museum

Will see if I wanna go grey as I don't wanna spend too much on unwanted trashes.
Sorry for the long rant because this whole experience is just super frustrating! Appreciate your responses bro!

Based on your conversation with the SA, I believe you did not show your intention to own a few pieces (2) of datejust half gold / datejust half gold with diamond. His reply already hinted zero chance.

Speaking of going grey, does anyone have experience with Prestige Watch? I have checked one of the branches in Mid Valley around Dec 2025 and the markup price for brand new Sub Date Black is around 40% which seems pretty high.

Just directly asking the SA from THG Mid Valley for fun if there are any "hidden requirements" of getting the Sub Date this is the reply:

"Regarding the “hidden requirements” you mentioned, we don’t have such practices. You’re welcome to start your journey with The Hour Glass, but we won’t be able to promise when the watch will be available until we receive a piece."

Kinda funny that they are still denying but the last sentence already implies that you better start buying other non-Rolex watches from them.

Tbh… all the reply said is you are free to buy from them (HG), but they can’t promise you anything? I don’t see anything mentioned about buying Non-Rolex?

It’s well known that HG likes you to build your total spent with them…. But you can also buy other Rolex to build your spent history up….. there’s not just steel Daytona and GMT in the catalogue btw….

Maybe it's just me being cynical or just thinking too much...

Anyway, I have zero interest in Daytona (more into Omega Speedmaster Professional) and haven't registered for GMT yet, just focusing on Sub Date Black. If they offer other steel models like OP, SD, Explorer or Datejust, I might consider them too but at the end of the day, it's totally up to them whether they wanna sell any steel Rolex watch to me.

weekend drive hnnngghhhhh

with the gold prices soaring, u x takut ar wearing that bling out

ermmm bro, owning first piece of any steel rolex model is basically impossible in your new profile.

thank god you have zero interest in steel daytona. to be eligible to apply for this model, you need to have 7 digit spending record.

so bro, go for the grey....

In Malaysia, probably less chance. I been waiting for over 2-3 years for SS rolex, never get called. I even registered non popular model like Explorer 2 White dial, sea dweller also never get a call.

However, I got a few pcs of SS Rolex by walk in. It is AD in oversea. There was terms too. They asked me to buy 1 Tudor for 1 Rolex SS but I dont like any of those Tudor as it seems very weird design. Not like BB models or such. I requested them to purchase Rolex OP 31mm with my DAtejust Wimbledon which they agreed. I gave that 31mm pink color to my wife, I took that wimbledon which remain my nicest watch.

I also have GMT batman and Yatchmaster which I just bought from reseller in Publika - 9th watch.

the fact is that u never engage any half gold piece with local AD, they probably let you wait.
