Traveling to Munich and Berlin - AD Suggestions?
I am traveling to Munich for Oktoberfest next week and will spend a few days in Munich and will then travel to Berlin. I would like to pick up a Hulk or Batman or Daytona ( if i get super lucky). If I cant find any of those pieces. I will buy a regular GMT IIc. I can get a 5% discount here from my AD in Houston. However, i was curious what the savings would be on MSRP - VAT. Can I get a discount on MSRP? Any good AD Suggestions would be highly appreciated (please PM any good AD recommendations if that's easier). Thanks a lot in advance for your help!

I don't recommend the AD in the Munich Airport. I tried to buy a Datejust there. They were very slow. I had to cancel the transaction after 20 minutes due to almost missing my plane.

There is Bucherer and Wempe in munich and the Rolex Boutique in Berlin. A discount for popular Rolex Steel models would be very difficult in Germany.

Bucherer and wempe are both in Berlin as well. In fact I think they are like two blocks from each other.

Go to the KaDeWe in Berlin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaufhaus_des_Westens
The luxury mall is an experience by itself but there is a smaller Rolex shop on the ground floor that might be interested in moving their inventory. You may tell them that you'd be buying on the spot for them to be more forthcoming with a deal. Ask for "house price" as a nice proxy term to say you'd like to see what's possible away from MSRP. On the top floor you can have a real European deli with a glass of Champagne afterwards :-) Another place to visit beyond the ones already mentioned above is Juwelier Lorenz GmbH, Rheinstraße 59, 12159 Berlin, Deutschland http://www.juwelier-lorenz.de/ |

There are these two on the Friedrichstrasse which is a geographical center of Berlin and then there are a few more in the western part on the city on Kurfürstendamm that leads to the Tauentzienstraße (thats where the KaDeWe is)

Sometimes you can see a Hulk in AD's window, it's not impossible

To the OP, I'd be grateful if you'd feedback on your experience of the ADs in Munich, where I'll be next week. How were stock levels?
Thanks in advance. |
