Planning to get my first rolex
« on: December 01, 2015, 09:44:09 PM »
Im from malaysia planning to get my first rolex watch, i asked price in the hour glass the garden, there is a stock for Green submariner- the hulk. Selling at premium 35k

Any store which can have better price? Is it a good time to purchase the watch now as the depreciation of RM is too.......
is it worth to buy a rolex watch? the depreciation of rolex watch seems also quite serious.

Thank you for you precious opinions.

Mikey got that Right to the very Tee. In any case, Rolex is as good as cash in most countries, if you ever had an urgent need for cash (just saying). Can't say the same for other watches, although some could cost as high as or higher than Rolex, thanks to the latter's marketing, branding and history. So buying a Rolex makes good sense actually IMHO; plus the 116610LV is considered as a more premium SubD compared to the LN, so you can't stray too wrong with the choice.

Hi,

I thot the hulk with premium comes to about 40k, at least that's what was quoted to me at 2 ADs. So 35k seems ok to me.

My goodness, 40k?? 35k can already be considered as a bit steep for the Rolex Hulk but 40k??..... Prices for imported luxury items in Malaysia are really getting non-sensical! But, i agree with mikey, buy it for rm35k if you really like it....

I'd say 35k is a good deal coming from AD at this particular moment

116610LV is a good choice IMO, it looks better on fairer skin person, I have dark skin n it doesnt look nice on me, or it's just me  :o
Wish I could get the hulk for my wife  :Praying:

Yeah let us know which AD, sharing is caring, we might as well drop by the AD to make sure the LV is safe and not being bought by other people

do not treat this as investment..you tend to lose easily 10%-20% once u step out the shop regardless whatever brands. just buy what sing to you. enjoy your journey..

Think of it as an investment. Not other brands though. With Rolex you can be assured of a terrific resale value. I bought a 15 yr old Oyster Perpetual Date for RM 9k. That is 50% off brand new price after 15 years.
