The Watch Thread - Part 7

[coern]

Mine's the August batch and it was an impulse buy. I don't know if I'm gonna use it much.. worst case would be to sell it for a slight loss. Not sure if there's a market in SG >.<




I've done some reading on SGROC and seems like the price in EU (after VAT refund) is nearly the same if I get from local grey dealers. You've got to factor in lousier CC FX rate, unless you wanna carry 10,000SGD in cash

I'm going Paris in June and looking to get a 114060 before the price hits SGD9k. It'll be great if anyone here can share their experiences!

eh... to be honest don't know what the list price of 114060 is now, but after everything was factored in including tax back, when euro was at 1.63, I paid around S$7.7k for mine in Italy in December '14 (this was by Amex).

Euro is around 1.47 now.

I recently bought mine at EUR6k after discount...not sure if it's a good deal but hey, a happy owner now!

bro, EUR6k is before tax back?

I think boutique discount is 10%-15% whereas AD is 25%. boutique offers longer warranty if not wrong.

I read that Italy has one of the highest VAT refunds in EU, but since I'm only in Paris, the cost of train tickets etc might not be worth the trip after all.

Guess I'll just bring a card with the best cash rebate to Paris!

bro i think for 15202 and 15400 blue dial, no discount at all. Other range 10% i think is doable
