Was in Florence 2 days back, at the panerai store, VAT 14.5%, n the list price is lower....so confirm cheaper than anywhere in sg.

check out sg-roc panerai forum, got a whole thread on buying pam in euro.

1. check out panerai site for AD list
2. email the AD (not boutique) way in advance before your trip to find out which models they carry
3. make an appointment with them closer to the trip date, for the models you are interested in

AD can give discount, but must know how to bargain. boutique no discount.

Whether AD or boutique, already cheaper than in sg. The main issue is whether got the model that u want.

7% not included yet but still much cheaper than local ADs I suppose. Estimated price I pay is around SG$540-550 after GST + shipping.

IWC I think. I am thinking of buying Longines Evidenza in HK but not too sure if it will be cheaper there.

Have PMed you. Thanks to tremor for the heads up too.

Anyway, for those interested, just get the model at 371 euros. Just live-chatted with their rep, both are the same watch (-101).

Just checked out ACE Jewellers. Legit website.

It is like Hour Glass and Sincere Watch in terms of accreditation but it is the online version.

Their Omegas, Tag Heuers and Longines are superb purchases..the discounts make it worth the hassle and slight risk of ordering overseas

Cant find data pertaining to their IWC and Baume watches, perhaps there is controlled pricing, hence they are unable to advice online but only via the phone..

But for their breitlings, after factoring GST, i find that its more viable to buy it in singapore..unless there are hidden further discounts

 

[KohChris]

Btw, they are authorised dealers of watches. No need to be worried about lemon products..

 

[KohChris]

Anyway, anyone managed to siam GST by getting Ace Jewellers to declare it as a gift?
