Guide : Buying Rolex in Europe

[praha335ci]

This post is quite a while back and still no response.

A colleague just came back from Europe and got a gmt, and was mentioned that it was 30% cheaper than singapore!

Didn't know the savings can be this much.

It is certainly possible with the previous model all black GMT 2 C SS which can be discounted by as much as 15% and the net VAT back of around the 15% back hence its 30%. It would also have most likely been bought at a smaller AD which was keen on letting go of stock especially G series all Black GMT as the current model is a black/blue with an alphanumeric series.

I have heard Amsterdam was better as they gave higher tax rebate.

Thinking of going to London to get a brand new sub/GMT? Cheap Brexit GBP?

All great ideas.. except all sports (stainless steel) models, have a 3-6 month waiting list at all ADs (even outskirts of London). There are as many as 2-3 who have paid deposits at each branch too..

Very difficult to get steel sports model in Europe nowadays unless you also buying other gold model

I am not really sure but the saving due to tax rebate 12% at Heathrow is quite substantial. Just bought YM in June.

I recommend you contact the ADs before coming out. I emailed and called about 15 of them in different cities I was traveling to looking for a BLNR. None of them had it at the time, but finally I had one in Zurich, SW respond and they held it for me following a wire transfer deposit. With the US-Swiss exchange rate being more favorable than the Euro, plus the 8% VAT refund, it was a very good price.
