In sg the most if they willing to offer disc its from 5% to 10% max..Since you in europe,i think you will save more if you buy from the Italian boutiques. You can claim the VAT 15% (values added tax) back on your purchase.You can call their distributor below for the nearest AD convenient to you.Do keep us posted the outcome...thanks.

Problem is that usually the shops in Italy has no stock for PAMs so call or email early.

bought a pam88 at milan last month for sg$8k and a pam48 forsg$6.5k after vat refund.

you cannot claim VAT unless u have a registered company.

[schnauzer]

you can claim vat refund if you are a tourist in EU purchasing things above a certain value.i know cause i go to EU almost every month.you need not have a registered company just your passport with you when you purchase you thing.the shop or boutique will give you a vat refund form and you can claim your vat from any country in EU BUT you must show your purchases to the custom officer before you can collect back your refund.you can collect your vat refund in USD,EUROS or you can ask them to debit back to your credit card account.I collected back 14% from the total amount i bought for the two PAMS. HOpe this explains any doubt for vat refund.

[Daytonalover]

Thanks for ur info...will do that...

[Daytonalover]

Good to see u back, haha...
will see wat i can do when i go there ya?
Hope that u can join me too!

[rolexcraz]

thank you for the ans........whereby i get mix up for different items....coz i went courses n i was told to have a registered company in order to claim....

i did fly over to thailand to buy my breitiling watch n i was able to claim in the airport custom.........

[schnauzer]

am in london now,just saw a pam 88 selling for 3800pounds at selfridges before vat refund....is that cheap or what??!!

[Daytonalover]

I think the pricing went up. It was retailing at 3600 pounds last year. Maybe its due to the weak currency now, thats why they increased the pricing.
Whether it's cheap or not, i m not really sure.
But my feel is after VAT rebate, it will be difinately cheaper than sg.
My feel is, if u like the watch, just go for it!
Cheers!
