Went over the causeway the last weekend and put up at the YMCA,
Drop by a couple of AD for fine watches. Zero in the Exp 1 and was told the range from S$6k.
After hard bargain, the price went down to on par with the Malaysian price and together after recovering the tax paid, the price of the Exp 1 comes to approx. RM13.6k.
However, this quote could only be attained only if the purchaser departure point from the airport. If your exit point is by land, then you can kiss your $$ goodbye. There is no facility to redeem your monies at the custom causeway. Too bad ya.
During the look around, I noticed that the plain looking omega constellation (white dial – old movement) almost non-existence on the display case (no stock) in most AD (about 4 of them along the Orchard) why?....and No Sinn display counter at the HRg (or have I missed it?)
There are many shops selling used / preowned Rolexes at the Lucky Plaza and at the People Park. Checked out with a few of them and found the ongoing price for a common date (15200) takes around S$4.8k with an initial 20 discount rates. I say, no thanks and left.
With conclusion, I think it’s better off to do watch hunting in Malaysia.
What say you?
