Rolex-Where’s the Best Pricing?

[papertiger]

I'd say right now it's not so much about savings but rather if you can actually get ahold of the model/ ref# you want. (Although that might work out considering exchange rates, sales tax, vat, and return thereof!)

You might also have luck given your choice of a white gold Lady-Date-Just w/ diamonds - but don't count on it.

Currently, if I was after a Rolex and had the actual chance of buying the exact model/ ref# I want, I wouldn't hesitate and buy it right away. The market is crazy, mostly for everything steel/ sport models. But I've actually seen a lot of empty displays lately. Definitely more of a seller's market right now.

Kind regards,
Oliver

Hi!

Thanks! I think it's best if I provide you with these links:

https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_custo...rs-leaving-eu/guide-vat-refund-visitors-eu_en

This is official, up to date, information from the European Union.

If you happen to shop in Germany, here's the official site and information of Germany's customs, also with reliable, up to date information.

I'm sorry I can't possibly help you with the factual process for every European country. It's probably easiest to ask the store to provide you with the necessary forms and explanation. Any of the larger stores should have plenty of experience and should be able to guide you through it. Be aware that not every shop participates in tax free shopping.

Kind regards,
Oliver

thank you.
Question for those who buy overseas do you declare it even though it’s for personal use? So reading upon the taxes and declaration when bringing back, what I gathered it’s almost 6.5% custom/tax to be paid if you declare.

You should always declare. The amount you declare is the amount after the VAT Refund. In my experience, sometimes the agent will just let you pass without paying, sometimes you will be charged.
