I'm currently in Singapore for the Formula 1 and figured I'd go have a poke about the shops to see if I can find a decent Rolex 5513 Sub out here. I've been here a few times in the past but have only ever been looking at new watches, so am a little wary when it comes to second hand.
Does anyone know of any reputable dealers selling preowned Rolexes in Singapore?
Cheers!

Peng Kwee in Lucky Plaza on Orchard. Prices ok depending on exchange rate and happy to discount.
And the most beautiful shop assistants ever.
There used to be a quite large shop on the ground floor of the Peninsula Plaza that sold pre-owned watches & they definitely had Rolexes. It's easy to get to, very close to City Hall MRT stop & within spitting distance of the track (the St Andrew's road section where it runs alongside the Padang).
There is also another place in the Funan center which is opposite the Peninsula Plaza, first floor if I remember correctly (counting the ground floor as floor 0). I think it was mainly new watches but they may be able to suggest pre-owned shops. it's not just a boutique as they sold jewellers tools as well.
Far East plaza - HJ watch on the ground floor and monstertime.
For panerai. - second floor near the lift there is Hobbylink.

The building is walking distance from the "track". And if you do go, there are more than 6 shops pre-owned shops there.
Good luck!

Just remember that Singapore has a littoral, tropical, rainforest climate that's inimical to watches. So, whilst a new Rolex Sub might be immune to this, a dress watch with a snap-on back certainly isn't and a vintage Sub is anyone's guess. Buy appropriately.
^ what Mr Pointy said, although the pound to Sing dollar isn't brilliant and hasn't been for a few years now. I didn't think the prices were great when I was there in November 2013.
Cheers for all the input folks. Prices seemed on a par with UK and I did find a nice looking 5513 but ended up chickening out and buying a new 116600 Sea Dweller 4000. Even managed a small discount which was tricky as most places wouldn't even entertain the idea on such a new model. Pics to follow later!
Oh and does anyone know anywhere that sells Nato straps in Singapore?
Cheers

Gnomon Watches: http://www.gnomonwatches.com/
Precision Watch are definitely the best 2nd hand watch dealer in Singapore., though only Rolex and Tudor.
Also look at visiotime at Raffles Place and jwwatch at Tg Pagar

Perfect! Thanks for the link. Was like a kid in a candy store and ended up picking up 4 straps in various colours to suit potential future moods.
Now to get home to Papua where my spring-bar tool is and fit them!
Sounds fun.
Do you by any chance fly the Pilatus (I think it's a Pilatus?) in your avatar? There's a tv series about Susi Air showing at the moment over here.
I do indeed and infact appeared on that show in the last couple of episodes. I'm the chap talking to the tribes and avoiding their rock fights. Naturally I'm the chap wearing the Breitling Emergency ;)Sounds fun.

Ah yes, I think I recall that episode: If I remember correctly they were about to get stuck in to each other on the runway. It looks like an interesting lifestyle. :-)
Looking at your blog now. I see it's linked from your TZ-UK profile in case anyone is looking for it.
