    Really nice bro! Congrats!!
    Mind sharing with us the damage..?
    Never really considered IWC before. Personally, i think their price is too far-fetched for me.

    Only a perfect timepiece that should be worn on his wrist.. [/I][/B]

      Bro, Congrats! Nice piece... but are the photos of the same piece? one seems to have blue hand while the other is black... or do they change colour in different lighting condition?

        It is actually blue in color. It appears to be black under different lighting condition.

                S$12k+? or US$12k+? If you buy from States, don't you have to pay a lot for the sales tax? Does it come in black dial? Very nice watch!

                  SGD12k+, inclusive of sales tax.
                  In HK, the best price is SGD13.5k but they have no stock.
                  Yes, it comes in a black dial too.
                  I bought the white one as my Tag has a black dial.

                    May I know which part of states you bought from? I went to the states in march, checked with many ADs there selling Rolex but all of them don't offer any discounts. I managed to find a Sub LV and a GMT2C but with the 8.25% sales tax, they cost more than what I can find in Singapore.

                      Las Vegas where the sales tax is 7.75% (the lowest in US i believe).
                      Rollies are no discount item in Las Vegas too.
                      Compared to Rollie, IWC is a less hot item.

                        YES YES you are right, I see many IWC, Ferraris, but only rolex no DISCOUNT... BTW, in Oregon, I think there is no sales tax there... but I am not sure will be worth to rent a car and drive 6 hours up to get a Rolex...

                            I don't think you can get tax rebate in the states. If can, I would have bought many many watches from there.... ha ha ha....

                              Its SGD12k+ after sales taxes.
                              116520 is right, there is no tax rebate system in the US, unlike in Europe.
