Rolex from EU

Hi all,

travelling to europe in sep and intending to get a DSSD and maybe a TT GMT2c.

anyone has any idea on the discounts/savings and the nett price after?

What are the savings structure like? thinking should be quite substantial, the VAT rebate and the weak euro.

wondering how much i can save? DSSD locally going at 15.8k-

[praha335ci]

You should be able to get a fairly good deal overall as those models that you mentioned aren't really that popular especially the DSSD.
Last year when I was in Germany the MSRP for a TT Gmt 2 C was 9210 Eu and AD's like Wempe and Bucherer did mention that they would discount that model as these were primarily V series and have been in stock for some time as well. The SS versions are all current G and alphanumeric and do not tend to be discounted as they are often sold quite easily( from memory it worked out to be around 10% for TT models) and the net Vat refund was 14%.

U going to Italy? Might be alot cheaper. I tried Switzerland but price not as good even after the savings...

[skydweller_sg]

I heard switzerland vat rebate is only 5%
lower than our gst

The thing is that it's very difficult to find the model you want.....tried that on several ocassions in Milan....well maybe I've been shopping at the wrong places.

8% to be precise... if my infor is correct...

[praha335ci]

You would not get the full 8% though. Check global refund for the net VAT refund for Switzerland.

[skydweller_sg]

I think the same applies to our gst
Tourists cant get the full 7% back

[rabid]

so buy from italy cheaper? i heard swiss is more expensive..

total discount= store discount + eu xchange rate + VAT?

[ichiban]

Hi u definitely will save
in Uk, rolex ex 2 white dial is going at 5530pounds and that's before 14% VAT refund and it's from a normal shop not even the dutyfree

the pam 312 is cheaper too

BUT the IWC portofino 8d is more ex. weird

[skydweller_sg]

How much is 312 in europe
