Rolex shopping

[marineguy8888]

I need the same info too, heading there next month. Would really appreciate inputs on the followings:

- AD (read in some old posts can get in the airport), any other recommendation?

- Payment mode, how much different btw cash & card payment? Cash, by Won or US$?

- is there any GST or relevant tax, refundable?

Thank you very much in advance..

Had checked the hyundai departmental store and they do not have 116520 in stk and have it only in wg . The rest of the models i can get cheaper in sg .

Did not check the rest of the ADs .

The branded goods are all cheaper here .


Can go myeung dong, dongdaemong(shopping till 5am ), namdaemong,adpucheong galleria,hyundai departmental store for shopping .
Itaewon for relax if going alone .


There is an equivalent of 7% GST rebate at the airport . Similar as our old system fill in the form and show goods at airport and credit the rebate to credit card .

And a caution to ppl going to seoul on free and easy .

Do not try the black suv cabs .

A 12k won journey ended being 180k won for us as we did not know it was limo and the cab driver show the the paper after we boarded and on the highway .

Would rather use the money go shopping .

huh, we were warned not to take the black cab. any othr colours can. the starting meter is (legally) 2.5x more thn the normal cab but usually charge a lot higher. had trouble getting cab after midnight shopping in dongdaemong as most refuse to go by the meter. ws advised by shopkeepers either to offer 2x or 3x (indicate with fingers, V or ok sign) of the actual fare bt to no avail, in the end paid 4x. a 5000won trip became 20000won

maybe koreans can speak jap/chinese? not always speak english is advisable.

can they speak?

[sunzhi]

you can try speaking japs bt not the younger generation. and a taboo, never speak japs while shopping an advice frm korean friends, because of bad history with japan, they tend to charge more...

Ya there are some china ppl working there as cooks . As we tried most of the local dishes and having problems with some of the menus and a chinese speaking will come and take our order .

based on this thread, seems that it may not be worthwhile to buy watches from overseas ADs after all....but then, how are other bros in this forum able to sell BNIB watches from overeas ADs so much cheaper than local ADs?

which countries would they get it from?

[rolexcraz]

dubai is the cheapest....coz the arabian usually buy in bulk for importing,once they r done with it they will export it out..........it goes with it gagets n mobile phone

[dvng]

i have been to dubai and checked out the rolex prices there, its not that cheap anyway for sport watches especially.

[kenkelvin]

dubai is the most ex
