buying a rolex is a really good investment ..in the next few years a 116610 will hit 60k mark ...

i may have a new incoming on Sunday

S$9672 nett (no discount no tax) at Changi airport

Reasonable price?

In terms of airport prices maybe, but getting it online from a reputable dealer on sites like rolexforum, chrono24 and even eBay would save you several hundreds of USD.

Trying to cop a 114060 myself but looking for a good deal.

What's the difference between sub C and new 2016 sub? AFAIK the sub C was introduced in 2012 with ceramic bezels among others and that's the latest "facelift" to the sub series..

There's no new "facelift" after 2012...

Rolex actually did do some minor changes to the dial. It could be 2016. however the changes are very minor.

I think OP was referring to getting the 114060 instead of the 14060M at those prices.

What are the changes?

minor change to the:-

rolex crown
font size, boldness

most obvious being the "ft" and "=" spacing and change of font. long ft being the new 2016

So the top is the supposedly old one and new one is at the bottom?

When u said crown, is it the screwing crown or the Rolex crown on the dial?

well yea would opt for newer version for the same price ..

Bottom is the new one. If I'm not mistaken, there's also a "facelift" for the Hulk 116610LV as well.

Rolex crown on the dial

i see, thanks for the clarification.

facelift for hulk as in the same "facelift" that happened to the example u gave?

i cant tell the difference between the rolex crown on the dial tbh. lol

Have been travelling to HK for business for over 10 years now but weren't taking notice of watches/Rolex until I got into it recently. It's hard not to miss an AD at every corner of the city. Thought I'd share some photos taken about 2-3 weeks ago.

A short 3 hour stop over in Dubai airport. They had the DeepSea Blue, apparently a customer had cancelled the order. I did try it on but it's too big for my wrist. The BLNR was in stock as well but not on the spot. Had to give it all a pass since it's a bit more expensive than the UK plus CC charges.



ADs everywhere in HK but non of the popular SS available.



Greys are better stocked


I happened to chance upon some smaller second hand shops in TsimTsaTsui.
Prices seemed to be much better.

Picked up a new watch this afternoon. It's been a long wait but worth it imho

Hi All,

Anyone know the retail price for following datejust models :

1. 31mm Steel and White Gold (ref 178274).
2. 34mm Steel and White Gold (ref 115234).
3. 36mm Steel and White Gold (ref 116234).
4. 34mm Steel and White Gold with 5 Diamonds (ref 115234)

Can you advise the recommended AD in Kuala Lumpur/PJ and the best possible discount rate in these AD. Also, would it be cheaper to get it in KLIA AD since there is no GST?

Thanks in advance.

I purchased my first Rolex back in November and looks like I've been bitten by the bug with the second purchase.

I'm no WIS and I'm still learning about all the models. I remember seeing the 'Batman' in the Rolex catalogue and thought that's nice, but the sales person put a cross on it and says it's difficult to get. Similar crosses on the Hulk and DeepBlue. I haven't bought from the AD before and were clueless about Rolexes... I was thinking probably no chance of even seeing the BLNR in store. I eventually settled on the EXII which I do like the sportiness and it doesn't scream Rolex. The GMT was handy as I travel quite a lot.

However a month later with a little more research and being on this forum (bad idea), I was still itching for the BLNR and the only time I've seen and try one on was at the Grey dealers. Naively I learnt that it's almost impossible to get one without a long waiting list and being laughed at (18 months I've been told in most UK ADs) I guess I could wait and hope that there won't be another price hike again. Had my name down with my local AD and 4 months on I had the phone call. It helps that I got to know the staff and built a relationship with the AD.

I'm glad I don't have to deal with all the malarkey about ADs removing stickers or keeping the warranty card. I won't be selling mine anyway but it's nice to have everything intact. The AD and staff was a pleasure to deal with.

The 'gifts' I had this time was a service pouch and a Cartier cleaning kit which I'm still pleased with.















For a bit of laugh

do you know what is the meaning of 有咭?

Kelvw excellent purchase, congrats and enjoy in good health. I am waiting from mine as well, but from grey dealer as ADs here are asking too pricey a premium. Can be bought for retail, if you also purchase a solid gold piece from them, lol. Btw, excellent pictures as well!
