incoming 15450sr from grey dealer

Can't edit the subject. It is the 15450st


My local dealer managed to import this from Germany, full stickers and all.

How do those grey dealers get the watches from and still stickers on? I don't think this is from an individual flipper..

Nice! Protip: the green bracelet tape can be reapplied if handled carefully, so I'd keep that around

15450st is still selling at boutique/AD. Why do your AD has to import from Germany?

It might came from individual flipper that went to Germany and bought it.

Does your AD registered your name as the original owner? If yes, you will have 5 years warranty from the purchase date.

If it came from the secondary market, you will have 5 years warranty from the original purchase date (you are not the first owner).

I registered the warranty tagged to my profile and start dat was yesterday.

So that means the original individual who purchased it did not register the warranty yet

Rather meant as a PSA pointing out that the fact that the watch has stickers doesn't mean it was never un-stickered.

Just slightly above premium only. But now it is hard to find this price and other grey sellers are selling at SGD 40k .

I got it at around SGd 33k

Retail is around 31

I guess the hot watches leave the boutique fully stickered together with the undesirable ones.

Policy may not be as strict as Rolex
