Best place to buy a Richard Mille

[Gator88]

Where would be the best place/country to buy a Richard Mille? Are there certain ADs in certain countries that offer a good discount? How much discount would I expect if I were to purchase the RM67-01 in titanium? I understand that boutiques tend to offer a minimal discount and wouldn't be the best place to buy from. Thanks in advance.

You should be able to get a 67 at an AD with a discount. I see you're in Asia--plenty of choices. I'd pick up the phone and start calling. RM is very proud of their pieces these days, so be warned.

Good luck with your hunt.

The problem is I'm really afraid to step into their flagship open concept boutique located on the Adorn floor,Starhill Gallery, Bukit Bintang ,Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I heard even the ceilling is devoid of lights !Try giving them a call...

Thanks for the reply. I will be travelling to Europe in a couple of weeks time. Will it be cheaper there with the VAT refund in your opinion? I know best thing to do is call and compare prices but I believe it's harder to negotiate over the phone etc. Cheers.

I'll let those that buy overseas reply. It's much easier though to call in order to see who has what in stock. That is going to be your first issue--then once located get out that pencil sharpener and start negotiating.

Let us know how the hunt goes

I don't own a RM, but the St Bart's location has excellent customer service. Every time I have stopped in I've enjoyed my interactions with the staff at the boutique immensely.

Better to hunt locations with high VAT - the retail prices often compensate for higher local taxes.
Same with Rolex - buying from tax free locations is often the most expensive way to shop.
