I just bought the new GMT 2 Batman from Buchurer here in Switzerland. Hesitated for a long time because I am going Austria and Germany too so don't know if buying there is better. I bought a DJ for my wife last year and before that I asked around in Italy, Switzerland, Paris, Amsterdam and Belgium. All quoted about $13,500 plus after tax rebate. In the end I got it in Singapore for only $12,700! This time round I checked around the prices in the ADs in Singapore before deciding whether to buy the new GMT abroad. Those with stocks all quoted above retail price of $11,670, although some members here claimed that they knew some ADs who have stocks and offering a lower price. I know Switzerland tax rebate is only 8%. But one thing good here is that you can pay the nett price after rebate and actually the retail price in Switzerland is slightly lower than the rest, except that they are too strict with price control. If buy in other countries, although tax refund is more, but most likely retail price slightly higher when calculated in SGD, plus I will have to pay the original price first, and tax refund to me later, so if pay with credit card will have lousy exchange rate, get back refund also lousy exchange rate, so it's like ganna 2 times the "costs". So it's like not a big difference in the end. If buy in future scarly price increase due to adjustment? Even if by then ADs can give discount won't be a lot I think since sports model normally lesser discount.
So end up I decided to buy it also as a form of momento for my Switzerland trip. Actually it was supposed to be around $10,781 in SGD but because I paid a portion of it in credit card and the exchange rate they charged was very Jia lat end up the SGD I paid was about $11,060 nett. About $600 less the retail price, not taking the rebates that I get from my credit card into consideration. What do u think of the price that I paid for it?
