Budget 2K can get what kind of watches? Im thinking Tag Heuer, Bell and Ross or Rado. But then, do Rado and Bell & Ross has good resale value?

Expert please advise. Thank you.

IIRC no, USA is not really a good place to buy watches, they do not give as much discount like Asia and no tax refund.

Europe is quite good, if you manage to get good discount with good relationship with the AD.

US no tax refund ah? For watch only or all luxury goods like other branded?

I got 15% discount from AD + 15.7% tax refund at airport + 5% cashback for my explorer 2. The total is like abt $7.5K. This, I am talking about Europe..

There is is no tax refund for all goods in the US, and do note that the price tag on the items there are always before tax (tax varies from state to state)

US cannot get tax refund even for tourist.

Different states have got different tax too.

Normally as a rule of thumb.

European goods are expensive in US, compared to Asia (HK/SG).

US goods and electronics are cheap in US.

Electronics is overpriced in Europe.
