Rolex in Japan

[Mell]

U buying 14060M as expecting it 2 be discontinued?

My thinking is unlikely being ROLEX does not have a new calibre for NO DATE engine with blu-parachem spring and para-anti-shock.

So how to come out with a CERAMIC ND SUB

I only know the current 14060M calibre 3130 is used by EXplorer as well.

DJ2, TT SUB now I beleive r using the same calibre with DATE with blu-parachem spring and para-anti-shock... 3136? hehehe

May be Rolex would take 14060M off production totally, instead of just an upgrade of the current version.

I don't think you get tax rebute at shops like Jack Road, 909, etc. Maybe the boutiques can thought.

That is still $6500 His Japan is cheaper

The Sub Date is around 493,200 yen (S$7,398) after accounting for the 10% rebate in Japan. This amounts to a S$800 difference (assuming no discount at all) which is quite a significant amount.

And this is with the very strong yen right now. Imagine the savings when getting a Rolex in Japan during the beginning of 2008.

Anyway I digress. Anyone had experience shopping in Tokyo for high end watches? I suppose that the larger outlets like Yodobashi / Bic Camera should be safe?

I checked Rolex ADs in both Singapore and Malaysia,

Sub ND --> 10 - 15% off (most cases, stock readily available)
Sub date --> no discount

Hope this helps.

I believe ADs in Singapore do offer a 10-15% discount for Sub ND (14060M). Stocks are also readily available. I seen one in almost every shop I been into.

Hi all, nice to meet you guys.

Newbie asking for advice here. I will be going to Tokyo soon and from the prices I seen in the Japanese websites, the prices of a Submariner ND is considerably cheaper in Japan.

Example: http://www.biccamera.com/bicbic/jsp/...=2096269448040

Less off the 5% tax refund and 5% from paying using the China Unionpay / Manhattan Card. It will be about 367,200 yen which is around S$5,715.

I understand that most ADs in Singapore are not giving discounts for sports models and prices are more or less fixed. Is there anywhere where prices will be cheaper for a BNIB Sub ND?

Prices aside, are there any dangers that I should look out for when buying a Rolex there. I understand that most shops like Bic Camera / Yodobashi / Jack Road are not Japan ADs. Will they be able to provide the worldwide warranty card?
