Originally posted by praha335ci View PostGlow Boi, The TT is an excellent choice , I personally have the SS GMT 2 C and was seriously thinking of buying the TT. The thing that held me back with the decision was this watch was bought with the intention of using it regularly abroad and also virtually daily. The SS tends to be a little more robust rather than gold . I'm just a bit curious has your TT picked up any of the tiny / minute swirls or scratches?
My next Rolex will more or less be a TT but it will be the Daytona cosmograph with a blue arabic dial.It will be used more or less as an weekend watch.Will almost certainly buy in Italy on my trip to Milan next month.
I use the watch for everyday use, but will avoid using it for physical activities even though I am fully aware that the watch can withstand it without any problems. HahaGMT Master II TT (116713LN)

I shall share my experience here based on my trip to Europe and getting unduly stressed by a crook travel agent.
First timers please plan what you want to buy and change cash in sg before going over. The foreign exchange rates for credit card is sh*t, and just based on that, can make your watch ~6% more expensive, keeping in mind that you still have to suffer another round of sh*t when the VAT refund is converted back to SGD.
Do not have to overly worry about VAT refund, especially mercenary tour guides / agents who want to manipulate you to buy from certain boutiques and thus spread fear that you will not get back your VAT refund if you buy elsewhere. If the shop sells genuine Rolex, chances are it is safe. Note that VAT refund in the airport is 100% safe as well IMO; I got back my VAT refund in my card less than 1 week after claiming it at the airport.GMT Master II TT (116713LN)

Switzerland is great for checking out the availability but unfortunately the prices are high and the net VAT refund is low; discounts are virtually non existent. In Paris certainly check out Dubail, Wempe, Jean Mick . Cost wise Italy will offer you the best overall .

ie. an asus laptop sold in taiwan will be more expensive then the same laptop sold in s'pore.

If you really want to buy at a good price and discount I would actually recommend taking a day trip to Milan and buying from Pisa Orologeria . Its a short flight and not 2 expensive with Easyjet from London or Manchester.
so another word Milan offers better discount?
I'm looking at ex2
