Thanks guys for the all valuable inputs!! I done a comparison between samsonite luggage price on the netherlands site and germany site. The germany ones are about 30Eur cheaper on almost all models. :s13:

I agree. Back then, i didnt find watches in general to be cheaper than Singapore. However, i believe from last year onwards, u'll find even watches selling in the supposedly expensive Paris to be cheaper than Singapore, after the VAT refund.

If watches arent cheaper in Milan, we wouldnt have done this: http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/fashion-grooming-235/watch-thread-part-3-a-3983255-259.html#post76544933. In Milan, unlike Paris, u can get most of the VAT back... there's where the big savings comes from! :D

You bought Rolex? Any idea if PP, AP or FM is significantly cheaper now? If so, I might drop by Milan enroute to Frankfurt soon :o

Getting way OT here ... =:p

Yes, we bought some Rolex watches. Not sure if PP, AP and FM are cheaper since i didnt keep a lookout for them. However, there's no reason why they shouldnt be as i notice most Swiss watches are... just a matter of how much cheaper. :)

My personal thought is that the shell is not as tough as the F'Lite/Aeris series, but in return it only weights 4.6kg for the 75cm spinner and more spacious as compared to the Aeris. Overall still a good case IMO. :)

I got it from the normal departmental store in germany as i did not go to any outlet for shopping. I doubt the prices will differ alot as this model is relatively new. I also notice that the s'cure series in germany is 20Eur cheaper other EU countries like Netherlands and France.

In SG, can one get a 23-24" Samsonite with 300-400?

The zippered ones can. No point getting in sg imho. Just spend less than 200 get a lojel. The prices samsonite charging in asia is way too premium for a mainstream luggage label. U can get a rimowa in europe for the price of a samsonite here.

Hi, i am looking for a hard case luggage for my trips. Any recommendations on what brands are good and durable?

I am looking at the samsonite range of hardcase luggage, aeris comfort/ S'cure series. Any idea if these luggages would be cheaper in Europe?

Hey I am actually selling a brand new luggage which is really good. I bought it but when i brought home i released that i already have a luggage and therefore had no place to put it. take a look here?

Rimowa buy from Germany. Or any other EUropean country and claim VAT.

Another thing, nobody has mentioned it, but Samsonite is much cheaper in India. No kidding. Go to those Samsonite shops if you drop by the big cities like Delhi, Chennai, Bangalore, Mumbai.
