Guide : Buying Rolex in Europe

[Rolex116613]

Maximum $ can bring out of Singapore is $30k

[Nichmenichyou]

I bought GMT2 recently in Swiss mid Oct. The price was about the same as in Sgp. I used a Singapore credit card and was given the choice to pay in CHF or in SGD. I calculated that the SGD equivalent was higher than the time I exchanged SGD for CHF in Sgp, so I chose to pay in CHF. When I saw my card bill, the SGD equivalent was even higher than the SGD I saw in the shop in Swiss.

But, I still prefer buying in Swiss as there is more assurance that the watchmaker is in Swiss, hence assembled in Swiss.
Tag Heur is assembled in HK if you buy in Sgp, not sure about Rolex.

Actually from what I know, when using CC ADs can choose to wait up till one month before submitting the sale. So what this does is ADs can wait for currency to get stronger before submitting and earning a bigger profit. Not sure if I'm correct, I heard if you draw direct from your bank account, it first gets converted to USD then using your USD they trade with the local bank based on the banks conversion rate again. Something like POSB being middle man in the end.

Green Sub is €7850 in France when checked 2 days ago. Not much cheaper?

Out? I thought is the other way round .. ie one can't bring in more than $30K in to Singapore, else must declare.

traveller cheques can convert to cash later?

High rollers do interbank transfer to the casino.
Reputable high rollers can take credit 1st.

What do you mean by "furthermore do they issue a authenticity cert after that. I guarantee not."?
