Nice place to "window shop" - but that's about all...
Lot of stock in the "second hand" shops... worth a look.
Lots of people willing to pay over the odds and a lot of dealers willing to accept their money...
The watches are expensive but the food is inexpensive and delicious... enjoy

cheers

yeah, they like doing that over here. since they see that there are people who will happily pay like 9-11k over MSRP pieces like the daytona-c, they are happy to oblige hehe
Thank you Sinn, The Hour Glass just emailed me quoting the price exactly same as you noted. The negotiation starts now.
Just so curious that how hot is the Explorer 1 now? :)

not hot at all in Singapore, except for the weather. I've never seen anyone wore it except for my wife but she's wearing the previous series.

It's simple: Singapore for Chilli Crab. Hong Kong for Rolexes.

i agree on that.. the explorer 1 is not so popular in singapore.. and there'd be alot of stock lying around and one should be able to get atleast 10% discount..

Checked marina bay AD. No Explorer 1. They have Exp 2 black and white, deepsea black and couple of tt subs.
8% discount on tt models. 5% on Expl 2.



By the way.. SubC on nato is mine

Like others mentioned enjoy the window shopping and the food.

Is it safe to wear a Rolex to orchard tower? J/k...
