Best Place to buy pre-owned gold Rolex in Singapore

Hi guys, does anyone have any idea about the best place to buy pre-owned Solid gold rolex in Singapore? Is lucky plaza a good option? How much will it cost for pre-owned solid gold rolex like daytona or submariner or GMT IIc (approximate price will be alright). Can anyone give me some idea? Thanks very much in advance

I was in Singapore last month and saw a store called 'Peng Kwee' inside of Lucky Plaza. They had a lot of pre-owned Rolexes and the condition of the watches appeared to be good. I did not see any other pre-owned dealers in Lucky Plaza.

Is that a solid gold GMT IIc you mention about? because the brand new Sub TT already cost about SGD 10k +

Peng Kwee's prices may be a bit high. A secondhand dealer with a much better reputation is Passions at Funan Centre (check out their website first www.passions.com.sg) or you can email them. At Lucky Plaza, you might also want to try the Horological Restoration Centre. Good luck!

while PK may not be the cheapest, their inventory is probably the largest...... so u have more choices....

bargain hard and be prepared to walk away....... :)

Very true, for some reason the GMTIIc is only a couple of hundred Singapore dollars cheaper than the SS Plat. at least that was the case in both AD in Lucky Plaza.

Much better deals on GMTIIc in Hong Kong, so guess where I brought mine

Answeing the question on Gold pre-owned though and I would say Lucky Plaza is the best place in Singapore currently.

Is it easy to find a 18K solid YG Submariner or Daytona or GMT IIc in this Peng Kwee or Passions shop? Because currently I am not in Singapore yet, I need some advice and guide before I travel there shortly. Thanks in advance. Also thank's for your Passions link

Hope that helps.

My apologies, I actually just converted the SGP 10K into US and its US6,645 so the same, seems that 10K is a far better price than what I was quoted in SGP so I take back my eralier claim.

The SS Plat is still far better priced in SGP than HKG though............

peng kwee is quite expensive and those of us here who know some local dialect will note :

peng = expensive in thai
kwee = expensive in hockien.

No doubt that shop have the biggest collection of preowned rolex but the prices is a little on the high side. Somemore their watches dont comes with paper or box. No Extra links also...

Got New Suggestion

Hi guys..

maybe you all wanna try out this new shop called chrono exchange.

Its at Far East Plaza actually. Small shop, but the watches there all look really new and conditioned.

Maybe worth trying to take a peep.
