they are not allowed to sell sinn locally.

they are not allowed to sell sinn locally.

Yes, ever checked with them before... with an authorized Sinn AD in SG (i.e. THG), they cannot sell any Sinn here...

go on a vacation in europe, and drop by sinn factory in frankfurt... den u will think twice abt buying a watch locally.

Buying Sinn "Locally" Outside THG

I totally agree with the previous poster who suggests that a very good alternative to acquire your Sinn timepieces is in Germany.

Take advantage of high taxes over there as well as lower recommended retail price than in Singapore. You are technically able to claim the full amount of 19% back but with slightly more complex procedure of returning the necessary forms and you have to figure out how you get the money back (for me, it's via bank transfer).

The disadvantage is, when your timepiece needs repair, you have to send it yourself to the factory in Germany.
