Rolex prices Europe vs. USA

Hi Everybody,
I am writing from Turkey. I've been watching this forum for a long time, and I want to thank all contributors.

I'd like to purchase a Milgauss 116400GV. Some ADs in Turkey make 10% discount on the list price (CHF 8800), so their final price is CHF 7920.

I read on this forum that the price in USA for Milgauss GV is around USD 6500, which makes CHF 6025. So, there is a huge difference of nearly CHF 2000 (USD 2150). Considering that I will receive a tax refund of around 10% when I buy from USA, the difference gets even bigger.

I would like to learn about the situation in Europe. Are the prices in Europe similar to Turkey or USA?

Thank you in advance for your comments...

Here's list price in various country, Europe and North America.

In Europe ( Euro zone ), prices without taxes are mostly identical. VAT make the difference. It should be the same in Turkey.

TTmax, thank you very much for this information. It is very helpful.

I suppose the US prices does not include tax. If this is true, I see that the prices in US are significantly higher than those in Europe.

And I also see that ADs in Turkey sell much more expensive than those in Europe and US.

That is correct.. US prices never include a "tax", and there is no tax refund when leaving the US.. Local taxes are added at the time of purchase and can be as much as 10%. You would need to apply for a refund of those taxes if they are assessed.
