Give you a few real life examples. I bought Lego from Amazon exceeding $400. At the payment page Amazon already slaps on the 7%GST. Can't run away, big companies like this doing business for all to see, including the Singapore government. My friend bought from another company, he had to go Singapore post pay GST before they released it to him. And as they are not able to enforce this 100% smaller companies who do not include GST in the bill and sometimes speed post (who takes over from international couriers like USPS) just deliver it straight to your door step, without GST. In such case, are u supposed to bring it to Singpost to pay GST?....probably yes in the eyes of the law.

So if you make it through customs without being stopped and asked to pay tax for your luxury watch or shoe....customs just failed to spot it, not because you don't need to. Yes probably there is a sound reason for the Law maybe someone here in the Legal profession can enlighten all of us but in layman eyes such as mine it's pathetic..have to pay tax for an item bought overseas that was sold at a price point without factoring the 7%. Some will argue that everywhere you have to pay tax if not VAT on Europe it's GST. So.... [shrug]

Ya. Amazon is smart. Lol damn sad. But I always Siam cause it's really for personal use. Only idiots will walk there and pay if it's for personal use

 

[gaoxing84]

But for personal use and buy to sell is different. Personal use usually close one eye even though the law says otherwise. Many people purchase items for personal use and don't get stopped or checked.

Seems like her case, either is tipped off or customs has been watching her closely already.

Probably see her record always travel. Lol

Online purchase confirmed cannot sian one because they got the purchase order.

But if you go overseas and buy back your item. I think no need to pay as you can always don't declared as there is no way to check it if you told them it's a gift from your friend overseas.

Very nice dievas

 

[patryn33]

Some people are willing to go thru such trouble to save a few hundreds on the watch. But alot of times, the savings on watches went to shipping =.=|||

That's too bad if were the case

Finally got my custom alligator strap from JNS for my GP. Needed to get one as the orignal strap is too big for me even with extra holes punches (My wrist is girl size ) and the deployant sits at the side of wrist...

The strap pic (One of the end need to be shorter so that the deployant can sit properly)



Picture after changing with the orignal beside it



Finally the wrist shot ^^



Now I can really enjoy wearing the watch lol without it being uncomfortable and shifting around. And I must say JNS's strap is real good IMO and worth the money

Hi guys, any seasoned Rolex owners here? I currently own a Sinn, hand itchy to get a Rolex. I like the rugged, daily beater look of submariner and deepsea models, any recommendations on those with high resale value? Considering the GMT series as well

Sub C and GMTIIc are high in demand and carry better resale value among all Rolex models.

Like the sub then just go for it! Imo I wouldnt put GMT in the rugged category, the PCL is bling bling and dressy in a way.

If you wan higher resale value, go for preowned imho
