Anyone knows if buying a luxury watch in KL/Malaysia would make more sense than buying in Singapore? Is there tax rebate etc?

I am thinking of buying my first luxury watch. Can I know is it acceptable to request the AD to lend a magnifying glass to scrutinise the watch before making payment?
Have been reading a lot of QC complaints lately, thinking if I should be a little more careful..

I mean, I'm sure if you ask the AD to juggle 3 magnifying glasses and it will net them the sales, it's not impossible.

But honestly, life is too short. If there are QC issues, just deal with it. Life is also not perfect, so just live and let live. If everything want to be yin zhim then I think life is torturing, buying luxury piece supposed to be enjoyment end up so stressed..

That is really an age-old eternal question for luxury watch. You can't be too careful, along the way, wear&tear will also happen, one scratch is still one scratch too many. It is a slash to a heart. Pasting stickers on metal parts are not the way to wear it properly or give the watch its justice of its true talent. Buy watches that are budget friendly yet lovely, so when it really undergo any tragedy, it is not too painful.

Very true, phone is indeed the new watch. But watch is somehow special, inexplicable. It is an apparel, an accessories or even considered parts of your body especially for those 24/7 1-watch person.
