I've done some research about Singapore's availability and prices but I wish to confirm with people that are more informed than I am.
I'm personally not sure about Singapore's AD availability as I've never looked at it myself. But I've looked at forums, second hand Rolex & Lange's prices in Singapore, but they have shown to be even higher in prices as compared to Japan.
Can anyone confirm with what I've found is correct? Have already planned to visit as many ADs along Orchard Road, but would anyone recommend any good places that I should pay visit to while I go Singapore other than Far East Plaza for second hand watches?
It's the availability that's going to be the issue. I think it's a world wide shortage of the SS sports models. If that's the case, that will result in higher prices.
I was there last year, no SS models available at ADs. Grey dealers had almost anything, but prices were wild. People's Park Complex in Chinatown had several second hand shops with varying selections of sports models, but I don't have any experience to recommend any of them. Still fun places to browse.

Which model are you looking for? I visit the ADs quite regularly and almost all of them have nothing I desire.
2 ADs have shown some promise:
The Rolex boutique at Ion has, on occasion, had some Milgauss and Explorer 1s and 2s inside the display cases, not to mention some of the not so easy to find OP39s.
Kee Hing Hung over at Chinatown has by far the widest selection of models I have ever seen in an AD. No SS sports, but a good number of TT sports including Subs, and a lot of PM Daytonas.
I dont know about the second hand market, but Seasons Time over at Vivocity is worth a look (but not necessarily buy). I almost bought a BLNR from them back when gray market value was at sgd$13000 - it now goes for $21000 in some places.
All other ADs have 100% only ever had DJs inside their display cases.
I was just in the Bencoolen Shopping mall today, and there is a new Grey Dealer for mainly Rolex, but also carry other typical high end Brands.
It is phenomenal how many Rolex sport models this shop has, Daytona’s, Sky dwellers, GMT and Subs. All there.
Scarcity in ADs? These grey dealers hold all the stock...
Prices are typical of the market. What would be interesting is if they are moving stock at these prices. If not, then lots of fun paying Singapore rent.
Have you recently ssen any Sub ND or Explorer 1 from any of the ADs or retailers? Want a Rolex to remember recent fortunate events : just had 2nd child & got a slot for local school for my son I'm from Woodlands btw...
There’s plenty in the grey dealers, premium is nowhere near as mad as the Pepsi GMT
