Rumour has it a local reputable reseller sold high-end fakes (Daytonas..etc) to a big group of buyers...victims taking legal action now, u hv any idea who’s that reseller?

As far as I’m concerned, there is only few reputable reseller in Mal..

whoaaaa

these sellers must be pre covid ones then, post covid are new players dy

I also wonder what happen to that luxury good scammer in SG and also the other one in JB, both also caught already I think

yea supply demand, the reason prices are dropping now is due to lesser demand
a lot of greys now are not hoarding stock dy, its moving too slow, a lot are consignment stock
it is not easy to purchase 3 to 5 cold door brands to get one Rolex sport model to make a profit, especially nowadays a lot consumers are playing the AD game as well

a lot grey stocks are from flippers

I have seen a lot ppl regret they had the batman in their hands but didn't buy, then the price went up, then covid happen, keep scolding grey and flipper, waiting for waitlist, never happen, not willing to pay premium, time passed, end of the day even if the price goes below retail due to over supply, they won't buy it either laugh.gif laugh.gif

With the crypto crash, inflation, economy downturn, the wealthy is of course not affected. Will see how the average joe's fare when, and how the demand holds up this year -- where analyst says its gonna get worse.

no doubt many consignments by flippers. we saw what happened with the moonswatch with lots of average joes trying.

Ooh I'd love to get a batman. a "true" GMT watch, and that Pan Am history. I fly more than I dive.

I'll just chill and wait, I think part of the experience is not just having the watch, but the whole AD experience, the unboxing, filling up the warranty card with your info, and a receipt with your name on it. But walao, at the rate Rolex increase price, they are really milking it. End of the day the crown need to move more pieces than PP. Let's see how much the market can take.

sad truth but average Joe shouldn't be owning a luxury watch, no kidding

most sub owners don't dive either hahahah

yea, if you're in no hurry, just chill n wait, if the pc arrive at the right moment then get it, if it arrives at a wrong timing, no point forcing yourself to get it

I dunno about u la, there is nothing to shout about on the AD experience, but that's me la
I was ask whether I want mineral water or not, nothing for me to fill up, name of receipt I didnt notice, I just check the CC slip for the amount
normally SA just ask, this one arrive, mau x? mau then I drop by swipe, leave

You buy watch like buy vegetables already, no feel loh. I don’t need a watch, but buy it to mark occasion. Take my time to browse, look, compare.

I’m not just buying a watch, I’m buying the experience.

Well, there is no such thing as waiting lists for Rolex, most of the people I know .. and waited for 3-4 years and nothing yet…

There are slim chances if you bought from same the AD before …

Those wanting a sport model for first purchase? Now SWG Boutique don’t even open door for any walk in to reg ..Lolx

Mine didn’t even offer me water cry.gif
Then I see all the US ADs offering champagne to their customers during collection.

Rolex warranty card these days no personal details to fill up already btw.
Just swipe to activate the warranty and write down the date and that’s it.
