help me! Rolex for my groom

hi everyone!

happy to get to here, finally.

I am just about to get married and thinking to give a Rolex to my husband in the future.

Living in Seoul but i think Seoul is one of the most expensive city in the world, especially in the luxurious goods..

so, where do you think it is the cheapest place to get a Rolex?
(well, not decided the honeymoon place. thinking of Dubai but maybe Singapore..
not decided yet! means, any place is available!!)

oh, if you know someone recommendable dealer, please let me know.

Thank you!!

I would think Hong Kong might be best. Sorry but I'm not sure how Singapore's prices compare with Hong Kong's.

However, if you decide on Singapore there are many large Authorised Dealers (ADs) that you can visit - The Hour Glass, Sincere Watch and The Watch Palace, all along Orchard Road.

Although discounts are tightly controlled, I would recommend the smaller ADs like Dickson Watch or Lee Chay, who may be able to offer a little bit extra, depending in the model you want.

I hope this helps. Good luck!

There are a number of trusted sellers here who offer amazing deals.
However, you must alway be careful when transacting over the internet.
Some people do not have the skill or desire to transact over the internet and that is understandable.
Hong Kong and Singapore are very good places to go shopping at authorised dealers.

Welcome to TRF and congratulations

I would agree that TRF is a good place for purchasing watches, however if you are looking for a new rolex with your future husband's name on the guaranty card you should be precise with the dealer about that.

Enjoy.

If you get one here on the forum from a trusted seller, it will be by far the cheapest price you will be able to get. As far as other parts of the world, I have no idea since I live in PA and only bought watches here on the forum or from a few dealers near me!

Good luck with everything, I am sure your husband will be ecstatic! I only wish my lady would buy me a Rolex!

HK and Singapore both are good I think HK is better price remember do your research for the price before hand. Or like other poster suggested by from TRF.

For a first purchase, I would avoid going cheap and get it from an authorized dealer. The peace of mind is well worth the extra price.

Welcome to TRF. The best price will be in Singapore out of the countries you mentioned. But the true best price you will get will be thru the trusted sellers on the for sale section here.
