And indeed, it seemed not everyone was there to buy for themselves. Deni, 24, from Myanmar said he started queuing at MBS on Friday, 2pm. Once he got one, he sold it immediately for an extra S$500.<\/p>\n

His piece was bought by 25-year-old student He Qiao Mu, who had been giving out bubble tea since this morning, in the hopes of getting someone to buy one for him \u2013 and he intends to sell it as well.<\/p>\n

But the overnight queues were not without drama.<\/p>\n

Faith, who had stayed overnight in a camping chair outside Ion Orchard after arriving at 4pm on Friday, said police and security repeatedly asked her group to leave.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Another buyer recounted how some people allegedly attempted to mislead others by falsely claiming the mall entrance was elsewhere, causing several queuers to abandon their spots.<\/p>\n

Over at Marina Bay Sands, some disgruntled people in the queue voiced out their displeasure on missing out \u2013 there were reportedly two sections for the queues, one of which was for 50 guaranteed customers, which Swatch staff later denied.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
