USD is rather weak now. good time to purchase a panerai in the states now??
no tax refunds from what i know... any forummers who bought a PAM there or have enquired on the price, can share if its cheaper to get a PAM in the states?

No tax refunds but must pay local tax (varies from state to state) on top of the listed price.

With USD exchange rate at 1.25 if pay by credit card.
Few months back, PAM 351 was quoted by AD in CA @ usd8000 inclusive of CA tax
This will set you back SGD10000, not a bad deal if compare to AD in Sg. However sg-roc garage, got guy selling @ SGD8600 for a BNIB.......

Bought my 417 from NYC Boutique, while its a reasonable USD5100, I had to pay an extra 8.5% NYC tax...no VAT/Sales tax refund like Europe...but the much weaker USD makes it slightly more attractive now...
