list or premium?... for the milgauss GV....

for almost every item you buy in singapore, the government just smiles on the sidelines as they collect the big monies from the GST charged...... so in this case, where the list price for the rolex milgauss 116400GV is S$9,012, i noticed that the government is pocketing $589.57....... HHMMMMMMM

i'd heard of people who paid above S$20,000 for a milgauss GV, good gracious!! .... and recently i also saw a tourist who bought one for S$10,500 from an AD........

on my last visit to ADs in the chinatown area, they told me the selling price is around S$9,500.... which is quite reasonable compared to the huge premiums they used to ask for.....

so if you can wait, getting one at list price no longer is impossible........

the GV and rolex

can anyone remember the hype and excitment when the milgauss was launched a couple of years ago..???

can anyone remember how much the first few pieces was sold for in singapore...??? as far as i can remember, figures back then was about S$20,000 .........

recently i saw a GV being sold at S$10,500 at an AD........ although this is about S$1,500 more than the list price, the selling prices are far more reasonable then before.....

can anyone get one at list price? i think it could be done........

price update

some market prices:

rolex 116660 deepsea sea-dweller S$16,000 (premium price)

rolex 116400 milgauss S$8494 (list price) - small discount possible...

btw rolex day-date 2 and tudor iconaut are in stores now

watch-spotting: saw a lady with a richard mille watch which was on a black alligator strap, very nice looking indeed.......

curious .... at what price?

so at what prices are rolex milgauss watches trading on ebay...???

out of curiosity, so i jumped over to the auction site to take a look....

ok the first one, a 116400 black dial...... is asking for US$9950 (S$14483)....... which is way over list price......

the next 116400 black dial is much more reasonable... @ GBP4299 (S$12410)...... well of cos it's also more than list price .....

another seller is asking for 6900 euros each for the black and white dials......

but the biggest surprise is reserved for this..... a US$15000 asking price for the 116400 GV, the green crystal anniversary edition............. haha.... US$15k?????

no thanks.....

i must say the white dial rolex milgauss looks very very good indeed............. for sure the attention and demand are on the anniversary green sapphire edition..... but pls dun ignore this one....

it is just as beautiful.............. simple but very eye-catching.....

when is milgauss watches coming to singapore.... ?????????????

rolex milgauss.....

this highly anticipated watch has yet to arrive at our shores......... but delivery has started in many countries, UK, USA and HK etc.......

many users have posted beautiful pictures of this anti-magnetic watch....... and now is the time to share it with everyone.......

i hope the watch will come to us in december..... but i shiver at the thought ADs will ask for premium premium pricing...... even for the non anniversary model as shown.....

packaging is the usual rolex standard............. u get the white outer box and the green storage box .... for a newer product, it also comes with the warranty card.....



the plain ss bezel is pretty thick as the watch case is 40 mm in size........ dial is in matte black as opposed to what others think is a gloss finish....... the jagged arrow seconds hand is a main selling point and i like it quite alot



placed next to the ss daytona, one can tell the relative size of the milgauss.......... it has a bigger dial than the daytona of cos...... and the twinlock crown is kinda big too......



the caseback is engraved and is quite tall......... almost as tall as a seadweller...... the watch comes with a oyster bracelet, not the oysterlock that comes with most oyster professional watches..... and of cos no more hologram on the caseback

good news for BD....and saturday jalan jalan

was at audio house this evening.......the samsung BD-P1000 is now selling at S$799....

also saw a sharp BD player......hope to see more choices soon and looking forward to the hifi show in mid nov....

at 799, the samsung player is quite close to the price of a sony ps3....

prior to that, visited the omega speedmaster 50th anniversary exhibition held at ngee ann city civic plaza...........shd be interesting for omega speedie fans but i found it ok only........there were many speedmaster watches displayed, from the 50s, 60s and so on......

heard the ym2 is in town so went over to paragon.... saw both the YG and WG yachtmaster 2 at dickson......did not manage to see the price tags though......they also have blue wave dial DD, which is nice....

the milgauss is already in HK........so it in SG yet...??.....so far no news le
