I always wonder whether Covid-19 impact may have significant effect to the authorized dealers like Cortina and Hour Glass significantly in KL. Hope we can now get better deals from them.

You mean are they shutting the doors and pull down the curtains ? Well lets face it even the Bazel world are postponed lots of new models thats already line up are simply delayed if not cancelled . The effect is world wide so that can be the proportion on your earlier questions for starters.

Rolex not affected in other place such as hong Kong. I remember watching this guy walk into a few rolex AD asking for certain watches. Their replies are these watches fly off shelves within 5 mins.

I only see Rolex affected in places that depend on tourism such as some EU countries where it's difficult for most nationalities to travel to. Otherwise Rolex is rather bulletproof.

Sincere Watch in KLCC punya AP display case were all cleaned out except for some straps two weeks ago.

Cortina watch in KLCC has a few PM VC models but steel overseas all no stock.

Rolex even worse. Hour Glass in Gardens Mall left only Datejust models of various configurations and size.

Colored models are Boutique piece only so ADs don’t get any allocations.

I was on the waiting list for the white on white model at AP house and just collected mine last weekend.

Here’s my white on white. The mega tapisserie is very subtle. The white dial is really white. Like porcelain white color.

Comes with an additional dark blue strap and a bracelet on order.
