Today I nearly embarrassed myself at HG Taka 😅.

saw the PP 5524 on the display window ( I had no idea about this model previously) looks nice, and have the 2 time zone function I like. Almost wanted to go in and try on, but wife wanted to have lunch first. During lunch, checked the PP website and realize the retail price also very “ nice “ 😂 

heng ah, did not anyhow went in and said I want to try . 

 

Walk in like a boss and ask to try 😆 Not like they're gonna do anything to you, be confident. Then walk out you have a new aspiration.

I see many people walk in branded stores ba long long, try this and that than walk out. 🤭

Weekend nothing to do go Leng Kee test drive cars and eat free biscuits?

I like RH1667’s attitude about it.

confidence aside , its about being truly humble and down to earth. 👍👍

Of course, there are many who also slap face swollen to look fat.  Eg. Networth only $1mil - $2mil but drive $500k car and wear $100k watch (stickers still on 😂🤭) trying to act like networth $10mil - 20mil. which in the larger scheme of things isnt a lot either.....  to each his own of course but my opinion of them is not very high lor.  

got lah got people like that.....i have personally met many many.

but i respect people like RH1667 more.  Maybe i old school.

Eh I'm on your side on it.. Was just joking. 

I don't like to go around disturbing sales rep and not being serious about it. Waste people time and sales opportunity. 

Only enter the store when I'm buying. Even if I do, will always tell the sales rep to tend to other customers first. 👍

Yah, i know, we all joke joke here.  just sharing.    
But i have experienced a lot of people who act and talk very big, in the end i found out are just karkias of karkias.   Lose respect for such people, man

Walk in & out nvr an issue. My main issue is: who is paying? And why the payer now have to beg / por to get something?

think happens mainly in B to C cases. Almost never see it happen in B2B sales

Yes the olive green.
but there really was no hurry, i felt.  So didnt buy.  There is no hurry still today, just a mini sense of loss 🤣

Just saw a listing today at 69k. Still a 30% premium but not too bad compared to the SS sport and YG green Daytona craziness.

Sinkies really xia sway ..

As per cotton chan analysis...for this, I fully agreed with him..

Pay good money for a watch yet need to PLP n gum with them for a chance to buy  a Rolex.. now Tudor...

Something is really wrong in their mind..

Yes.  Not as crazy.  But i have no impetus to chase it.   Just one of my many fancies, and not even ranked high.  ...
i am glad that i have been able to manage my materialistic wants more and more as i age.

@Vegas I’m doing B2B sales myself. Haha, yes, such things would not happen in B2B sales as you pointed out. Now ADs like KHH act really big shot like customers have to por them in order to get the chance to buy Rolex watches. My experience with multi brand AD is that at least they tell you upfront what they can or cannot get for you and they don’t expect you to por them. In fact most of them doesn’t like customers to mention on FB what watches they have been allocated with sales person name and name of AD benig stated explicitly. But with KHH, the customers would have to tag the big boss and the entire boutique staff and say many words of thanks after a purchase 🙄

The mentality is very weird with these people. I ever visited this boutique with a friend and we walk away after feeling the experience is just not right. For eg they explicitly stated that:

1)Purchase journey starting with Tudor will count more in the chance to be allocated with Rolex professional models 

2)Even if you are perfectly ok with starting with a Tudor and enquired about the models, they will tell you that cannot sell the more popular Tudor models to you such as BB58, BB GMT, BB Bronze, BB41 and so on. So they expect you to buy ugly models such as Tudor Royal, 1926 and so on. 
 

3)They don’t offer any discount for all Tudor watches (we know with exception for a few of the latest releases, most multi brand AD offer 5-15% discount on Tudor watches)

The attitude doesn’t feel right and we just don’t feel comfortable even starting anything with them. 
 

Then some people have gone into the FB group to suan the PLPs for having to tripod this AD just to get Rolex professional models. Then the reply of these customers who wrote long praising essays were: 

“You guys must be sour grapes and feeling sour that we can be allocated with coveted Rolex professionals” 

Duh 🙄

Once, i walk into PLP shop. I asked if they have a Black DJ 36 with diamond index available.

The SE seat me down and bring out 2 fugly 2 tone DJ ( one was a champagne dial), and a few ‘classic’ tudors. Sir, please consider 1 of the 2 tone Rolexes or 2 of our most loved Tudors. Followed by: Be reasonable with your expection and we will do our best. So i said: i only want the ss dj with diamond index and the reply was: Lower your expectation and we see what we can do for you. Choose one and i can get it for u next week.

for a bloody DJ, also wanna package. 
i never went back

similar experience. wife and me were looking to buy a DJ and Sub each last year. Went to this KKJ say sub no stock when there were 2 on display. My wife likes one of the DJ but no discount and only cash payment. Say buy the DJ first and got chance to get the sub and discount in the future. Total BS. Went to CW and got the same DJ around a grand cheaper. SE there happened to my wife's friend and experience there is so much better than the auntie at KKJ. 

Anyway market for rollie is crazy now. This shenanigans is turning alot of potential collectors away (but i guess they don't need them). Will be putting my money somewhere else.
