if you want to talk prices, nothing talks louder than cash. with CC you may be hit with a lessor discount or fees.

Im not sure of discount structure in HK. But if using the discount structure in SG as a guide, expect about 10% on datejust, and 0% on popular sports models, infact they may even be a premium.

a) stock availability b) discount level c) tax refund d) currency those are the deal breakers when taking advantage of prices of rolex's overseas. i suggest you do some legwork in austria first, and compare the prices when you get to the ADs. that way, you save the headache of converting, etc.

Yes, it was at the Rolex store on Nathan Road near Tsim Tsa Tsui (sp?) MTR station. I am going to check the Rolex store in harbour city next week and see if there is any difference.
Also as I said, they offered 5% discount the moment I asked how much. I didn't haggle further at that point as I wasn't sure I liked the new model but maybe they would have dropped the price a little further if pushed. |

I've never seen prices like those. Certainly a big red flag.

I think you're seeing wrong ...and stores in HK do not sell fakes. They'd be shut down in a heart-beat. Prices on the Sub C is around $57,000 HKD and with the usual %8 offered on that model right now is around $52,800. Only place you'll find fakes is from the shifty dudes on Nathan Road nattering at you with "copy watch, cheap suit, taylor?? "

sorry to correct you slightly ;) After the recent price increase, the price for the Sub C is at around HKG 59000. Discount 8% was offered to me several times on this watch and the Rolex shop next to the Holiday Inn would have even accepted CCs on that deal. I could not get better than 8% sharp - unfortunately. Greetings to Hong Kong and please reply my email ;) |
