Beware of Japan AD

[whitetea]

Any possibility there is a mis-communication? I notice they dont understand english very well

Try email Nisshindo, state what happened and see if they reply. A long shot, but worth trying for $400

dishonest, because what I think the AD did, was take the money and keep the tax component for himself as an extra commission, either that, or he go to the boss and tell him we sell above list...

hmmm..is there a specific reason they dun give out the warranty card on the spot?

so no one can "doctor" the date?

I think it also depend on what model and what the local is demanding also... Japanese are more "honest" as they don't mark up as much as the local boys... At least, according to SOHrolex's story, the Japanese did display the price when selling the watch, if you go into a local AD, I bet the price tag of the GMTIIC has nothing on it!!!!

actually, cannot say that, if local dealer want to "wee hor lan" (draw ghost), then as consumer, we tell AD to fly kite, and he can wait for the next sucker to come and buy.

My AD used to do that to me, but now, they willing to talk price when Im ready.

I think you bought the watch for S$9670 is quite a good deal. At least my friend paid S$10500 one month ago. Just enjoy the watch and support local sellers AD/Dealers in future lah...

i bought the watch for S$9670 based on my credit card bill.so 5% of that is about S$400.I would say it depends on the salesperson whether they want to cheat you. Bad impression on Japanese right now.Thought they are very truthful.

Btw, any of you bought a watch in japan before? Will they send the warranty card over to me?cos they just ask me to fill in name n address n contact no. on the form which has some chinese character which state international warranty.

Wonder if can seek recourse on this issue...

I bought my Omega Speedmaster there. The warranty card is given on the spot, not by mail.

Thanks for responding. It's a pity you did not manage to save the $400. Heart pain too. Again, you have a genuine piece of jewellery, so no fret.

I think I had read some where in this forum that one of our guys here also had his warranty card sent over after some time. He, too, did not get it immediately. Maybe you check the forum.

Thks for sharing your experience. Yes, japan duty free is given at the point of sales, not at the airport.

I believed the 2 different price has something to do with local set or parallel import.
