Trip to Singapore

Headed to Singapore this week. Any better than other Rolex dealers in Singapore? Always like stopping in chatting about my favorite brand. I’m staying at the JW Marriott. Ive heard about marina square and orchard rd.

Orchard looks like a stand-alone store?

Marina square is the largest boutique this side of Dubai I believe and has a few cool displays, I'd suggest visiting there.

A fair few also have 'Not For Sale' displays so you might be able to try on a certain model if you've not seen it in person before.

The AD in T3 has just added the display only case and when I returned home last week they had a BLNR, BLRO and a Daytona on display.

Enjoy your trip.

Rolex at Orchard (next to Paragon) is an RSC. Along and around the same street, however, which is a main shopping street in SG, there are many ADs (Hour Glass, Sincere, Watch Palace, Emperor Watch, etc) for Rolex, VC, AP, and Patek and several boutiques (e.g. at and around Orchard ION: Panerai, JLC, AP, Omega, Lange, RM). For greys, try Far East Plaza (near Orchard) and Bencoolen (near Bugis Junction). The Rolex store at Marina Bay Sands is very cool and has some museum-like features. There also some other boutiques in the same mall.

Availability of hot models from any brand is zero from ADs.

Like most ads they will keep their popular models for their top clients.
Hour glass is a must visit.

There are many preowned stores in FEP, across most floors. Just walk around a bit. Or google for "far east plaza watch stores" :)
But be aware that the preowned market in SG is probably on the high-end of the worldwide market prices (particularly in recent years because the SG dollar gained against the USD).

Thanks buddy. But my wrist cannot handle 41mm. Prefer the 36mm.
