Do you know anyone you can trust in the US to purchase/send to you?

Have to say... The United States can't be the cheapest place to buy a SS Sub. JJ Irani should be able to guide you with this;he is an Omnipotent source for Rolex watches.

Thanks, but not really the omnipotent source.

While there are some amazing prices available in Macau, Hong Kong and Taiwan from regular ADs, I must say that prices in Auckland are very competitive too.

Not sure I can give any kind of help to our friend from Croatia. Perhaps a trip across his border into some other country where the prices are good, might be of some help.

Cheers - JJ

Prices here in Qatar are consistently lower than anything in the USA. And they don't have sales tax here either.

What type of prices are we looking at for GMTs in Qatar? I fly Qatar airlines all the time and am always having stopovers in Doha. Nice airport, but did not see any Rolex watches for sale at the Airport. Only Omega. Do you have the address/phone for a good dealer in Doha?

I did my shopping in City Center Mall in Doha. There is only one Rolex dealer there, and I got my Panerai at Rivoli just down a bit from Rivoli. They have the ROLEX sign outside the door.

Here is my Panerai story and here is my Rolex story.

While I told the guy I will keep the price private, let's just sat I saved enough to buy a well used Datejust.
