Guide : Buying Rolex in Europe

[praha335ci]

Just checked out Dubail in Paris and they are out of stock for Sub C and GMT IIC. They do have Explorer II and the price has increased to 6500 Euro and no discount. Still not bad a price after the VAT refund.

They might not have stock in the Place Vendome store but I'm pretty sure that they can get the watch ordered in or courriered in ( they may have a few in their vault or at the other branch - there are 2 in Paris) that you're interested in within a day or 2 from their networks or directly from Rolex in Geneva. You just have to show them that you're really keen and place a deposit.

BTW if you're still there could you inquire about the new price for a TT Daytona 116523? The last time I was in Europe May 2011 it was around 12100 Eu mark .
Thanks.

If there's stock it's probably slightly cheaper there only, preowned pricing there is rather scary.

I prefer to check out the Four Season's Duck Rice than hunt for watches when I m in London. xD

Goldmine Chinese Restaurant on Queenways is good too!!! Get off Bayswater Tube Station and keep left all the way.

London:- Check out Harrods & Selfridges. Also, on Bond Street you'll find stores selling high end brands, not forgetting Heathrow Airport.

Can find any good pre-owned stores on Bond street or around Selfridges/Harrods vicinity?

6500euro=sg10k
After 15% vat rebate sg8500
Not bad for exp2 42mm

Gosh that primary school math simplified!!!! Lol

Sorry mate, didn't have a chance to go back as I had a pretty tight schedule in Paris. Thanks for all the help.

That's ok. Hope you had a fantastic trip overall. I 'll be off to travelling through the middle east-Jordan+Qatar ,France and finish in Geneva Switzerland for the motor show next March. Would seriously be considering buying a TT Daytona with a blue arabic dial whilst over there. Just wanted to have a rough idea. Happy travels.

its much cheaper in Paris as far as i know.

I'm going to Paris soon and planning to get a Milgauss GV (the green sapphire). I read from the website its 11000 Euros??!! I know Singapore is currently selling at about 9000SGD. Why is it more expensive? Is this price right? Can someone enlighten what the price in Paris is?

[praha335ci]

Last year AD's like Wempe in Paris were quoting 6030 Eu for the Milgauss GV and 9540 Eu for a TT submariner. You could e-mail them about availability , discounts and they're pretty responsive.

Not too sure about the current pricing or if France has had a price rise this year though.

i would do this: check out local AD price. when at germany, check out german shop price. if lower, buy. the tax rebate will be a bonus cashback to you. in any ways, you already paid lower as a walk-in customer. if the price is higher, calculate the rebate. but make sure u really get that rebate else u will be worse off.

from my observation, local AD don't give discount on 114060 (yet). maybe best is 5% off list.

Try Dubail which has a branch in Place Vendome.They tend to stock all the major brands.
This is their site:
