hi, I have checked with few Rolex shops and I found that the prices for a same model (sub date) can be varied by as much as 4k between Rolex Boutique and The Hour Glass.

The reason given for the difference is that boutiques are selling at premium price, while other shops like the hour glass sell at retail price.

Does anyone know if there is difference in the watch spec / material for premium and retail price?

i dont think there's an actual rolex boutique, as in handled by rolex staff.
they're all handled by different dealers even the so-called boutiques.
interesting that rolex doesn't manage the dealers properly.

i got the contact number of lot 10, klcc. and starhill from rolex website.

i was told that the price is higher than others because they are selling at premium while material and spec etc are exactly the same.

they cant tell why selling at premium while no difference in the watches, this is what confused me because i always think the price is controlled and standardized and no discount for sport models.

JPSB ah, okay. So there really is no independent Rolex store, then. Only a service center it seems.

Anyway, prices are supposed to be controlled, but clearly they are not. Fluctuates on demand and supply. yktan83 what model are you looking for, exactly?

sub date, either black or green, gotta see the real watch first to decide which one.. unfortunately all out of stock at the moment

if sgd4374 is the final price after discount, and consider gst refund around 5-6%, i think buying in msia is better becoz i was offered around rm10.5k few weeks ago after discount

10.5k is a really, really, really good price. Not seen that sort of discount in a long time. Next time ask you for contact, hehe.
