Jun 2012 Rolex List price (page 124/125)

Is there any way to claim back the tax refund without going through an agent?
If so, will the tax refund be the full 20%?

You can use the tax refund calculator to check the VAT rate and tax refund for different countries. UK's VAT is 20%. You can claim back 14% after agent's charges.

Not necessary, it could mean less discount for us

if msrp is unchanged, it means the ADs are earning less

Lolz...... Your right, AMEX and Diners is some 4-5% fees... I think ???

Wow, seem like one of the AD I talk with today smoke me. He told me can only give extra 2% if pay by cash. I told him some credit cards surcharge can be as high as 3% but he nullify me. He told me that it should be 1.5 to 2% instead.

I always use AMEX, wack them with the highest surcharge. I still can earn 10 times points. hehe

According to the guys I know in Cortina Watches, Cortina Rolex boutique, and a few of the THG branches they don't care and won't give extra..... sucks really... so better use your card and make the Dealers loose that 1.5-2.5% fees !!

Greeting,

Can I check with you all, typically if we paid cash to AD, can we ask for an additional 3% discount on top of their current discount given?

Thanks

i guess the profit margin for rolexes is damn high, but AD only gets limited supply, so their profit is restricted by the pieces available for them to sell. plus they have to stock other slow moving models too.

Hi, anyone know what is the price for

178341
178271

Thankyou

[Oceanklassik]

That is a question to be directed at who you are going to buy the watch(es) from. Not any of us here

Some ADs may agree; some not. So how to 'predict' for you

And not to worry, you can try asking. It's nothing out of the ordinary

Good luck

What about the tax rebate in London? Any better over there???

VAT rate in Italy is 21%. If u claim the tax refund thru agents like Globle Blue, there is a handling fee of 6.5%.
So u can only claim back about 14.5%. So if the watch cost 5950 in Italy, u can claim back 862.50.

Sianz, discounts getting lesser these days...

Its sad really..... the margins on the watches are 45-50% profit to the dealer !!

Any bros have "close" friends in stores? I'd like to know what commission the individuals get.... I'm guessing 2-5%.

Note - Harry Winston staff ( ION ) get a 1-2% Commission !! Not bad when some rare pieces are $700K !!
