Going to Germany to buy a Sub, needs help??

[collegehooper]

I will be going to Germany by Frankfurt this summer and would love to get a new Sub. SS or TT with date. Any suggestion where to buy and is it cheaper to get it there than in the US. Thanks

Welcome to the forum !

Maybe do some homework . . . . Rolex is not cheaper in EU . . .

The only thing you can try is to buy it tax free . . .

But anyway . . . good luck . . . .

Not Germany, I know but you can pick a BNIB SS Sub from an AD here in the UK for £4,200 (Roughly $6,300US). That's assuming a 10% discount and then getting the tax back.

Don't know how that compares to what you could get one for (even from a trusted chappie) in the US?

If you have a specific seller in Germany who is giving you a 'dynamite deal' great....otherwise you will do much better here, and specifically a whole lot better right here on TRF from a Trusted Seller. If you need a name or two, send me a Private Message(PM).

For example, a nice submariner date, used but in excellent condition can be bought here for around $4,000 to $4500. At an Authorized Dealer(AD), maybe $6000.00.

good luck!

Sorry, but $ 4.000 - 4.500 for a Sub Date in excellent condition here on TRF is wishful thinking!

Than happened many years ago probably, but not yet

You will need to get a discount as well as VAT back at the airport to make it worth your while. The exchange rate isn't very good right now, so you have that against you too. I also recommend buying from a trusted seller.

Really?

I would buy it in North America. You have a much better chance of getting a good deal here.

Buy in your home country. Silly to do it anywhere else. VAT and customs alone...

Any good deals in Munich?

[montpyt]

Welcome and good luck....that's a long way to go to buy a Rolex!

I bought my SD in Munich from Wempe - excellent service and yes, you will save $$$ with tax refund at the airport. I declared at US airport, but customs waived my through :)

Buy wisely. Here at TRF.

nice what did you get?

[collegehooper]

Thanks for all the suggestions. In Chicago, The best deal that I can get from an AD for a Brand New Sub 116610LN is 7700 + tax. Anywhere I can buy the same watch for less than 7000 tax free is a deal to me.
