Guide : Buying Panerai in Europe

[wlover]

Wow... Mai tu liao... I think I wanna go Greece too Liao..

Was wondering anybody could advise. Am currently at greece right now & they offered 23% vat refund, however i saw that in italy is a max of 14%. So should i buy in greece & claim the vat in greece?

I just came back from Europe. Comparing between Milan and Barcelona, the latter has a way higher discount. Gotten my pam at 34% discount off rrp( inclusive of vat refund as they gave me immediate vat refund at the shop) But not all ADs. And the guy who served me had impeccable service, gonna go back there on a regular basis..but depends on timing for availability of
Models. They would even bother to bring models from their other stores from madrid or Valencia if their inventory has it, but only if ur a firm buyer.

Hi everyone,

I have a family member flying to Munich in Dec and I'm looking to get a PAM 312 or 359

I've located an AD in Munich
Gerhard D. Wempe
Weinstrasse, 11 80333 Muenchen
muenchen.weinstrasse@wempe.de

Anyone have any experience buying from this AD and can advise on how much discount they offer?

Hi guys, I will be travelling to Spain in Dec.
Read earlier posts that purchase PAM in SPAIN has a VAT of 20%
Still the same today? Was it by Global Blue?

Because I am using the tax refund calculator at Global Blue website. Its actually about 15% for a 4K euro pricing. The more expensive you buy the watch, the higher the VAT %.

Any one can help clarify?

That is right, unless you went the more complicated way as I explained on the Rolex section.

I couldn't find any AD for Pam here in Florence . Only the panerai boutique which sell Pams without any discount . Just the vat rebate only

buying in Europe

I guess buy where you get the most VAT refund ;-) Switzerland has 7%, some countries in Europe have around 20%, as suggested here before, Spain and Italy not bad idea ;-).

hello bros, any more places / updates to recommend in Italy? thanks!

[forumRider]

i came back from Spain last Dec...
Their VAT is higher. So mentioned earlier by other guys here, the more expensive you buy, the higher the VAT is.

To claim the max VAT 2x%, you need to spend minimum 10K Euro IIRC.

I guess SPAIN has one of the highest VAT in Europe... i did not get such high VAT when i tour in Italy or France. Switzerland is the worst place to buy watch i find...
