THG tells me the same thing too about the price increase. Anyway, I placed an order on a Broad Arrow GMT. Hopefully stock will come in soon.

Hi, dunno what's the % increase...

Well, the latest news I heard is that the price increase for Singapore has been moved to 1st April. (Not sure why)

Also, it affect mainly the models with the precious metals/stones. Changes to the price is between 5-8%. No confirmation whether SS models will be affect yet.

Damn. Thats news to be too. They used to quote 10%.

[sportee]

faster buy...

Its ok if the boutique offer 5%. I accept it too. Have u wonder Y retailers like THG or Cortina can give restricted discount of 12% ? ( previously 15%, WEF 1st March 2010 12% ) The boutiques usually gets the latest production stocks from Switzerland DIRECTLY 1st, the older productions are then distribute out to retailers after that. And most importantly. QC on watches headed directly to be sell at Omega boutiques are check VERY precisely, but not 4 those thats to be distributed to retailers. This is what i heard from my friend who is retired from the watch trade. Believe it or not. Pay more, u get safer QC on watches. And boutiques gets almost full variety of watches. Some ONLY exclusive where u cant find at retailers.

when i visited THG or even swiss watches, they quote me a 10%+ discount from retail price. They may not carry the latest models.

I visited the omega boutiques in Raffles City and Ion only offers 10% but they definitely has the latest models.

After some checking around, i think the best place to buy an omega watch in singapore is Changi Airport terminal 2, Omega Boutique. They have the latest models (but may not have the full collection due to space constraint), and overall, they offer the AD discounts in the city and offset the GST of 6%. So go to airport early and grab your omega on your way out.

Do call them to check if they carry your desired model.

Go Omega ION better. They give discount plus free gifts which watch lovers may like.. I went there in Jan to buy, was served by a guy, not only his service is good, and also give me free gifts as well..cant remember the nice guy's name. But he wears specs.. The free gifts should be exclusive by ION if I not wrong.

Hi Guys,

Any ideal will it be cheaper to buy omega at malaysia KL?
Maybe at Midvalley Magamall...due to Ringgit & tax free?? How many discount will their AD give etc

Yeah Airport Omega Boutique gives a pretty good deal. I was quoted 15% the last time I was there. The Boutique sales folks say that it is a standard discount. So coupled with 7% GST off, its about 23%. This was in January 2010

Do note that discounts may also vary depending on the model you are looking at.

Yeah. They do give freebies like Omega Bag and some other things thou. However, to me, price is king. Still waiting for my watch to come in at THG thou.

Just collected my Broad Arrow GMT which arrived from Switzerland last week. Price which I paid fortunately was before the increase. So far no change in any of the prices.
