Is it true london still cheaper after vat refund? Considering now pound is around 5.4. Will it be cheaper there? Anyone experienced?

Vat refund is roughly about 16% after all the admin charges etc. You won't get a full 20% vat back.
I would presume it's cheaper in UK since I always see tourist buying up alot of the rolexes here. However it really depends what you're looking for, plenty of Gold/Two Tones but if you're looking for SS, then you probably won't find any of the popular ones i.e. subs, GMTs, Daytona. Waiting list is too long and most AD in London has stopped taking in names.

AD told me that it will take 2 years  rclxub.gif
It is for this precise reason that the grey market can demand an asking price of 40K. They are all at cahoots with each other if you ask me.

The only way to get a "Hot Model" Rolex is through building rapport with your AD sales personnel. Either through purchase watch from the sales personnel previously or friends who have connection. Grey dealer would be your best bet if you want to grab a hold on the watch fast. The AD waiting lists is just a ways to reject client which even they took down your contact, you will never get called. Best of luck in your search.

Any NATO strap will fit as long as you get the correct size ones (in your case it will be 22mm).

You have cheapo ones from China that cost under one ringgit per piece all the way to branded ones from Omega that cost couple hundred.

In general, BluShark, Toxic, Haveston and DaLuca are highly regarded and are usually on the higher ends for NATOs. I'm also a big fan of the Marine Nationale but never have the chance to try one yet.

If you are looking for something to start with but just above the cheap China ones, I think in Malaysia bro AppleDarren is selling them and you can also try cheapestnato or natostrapco.

Eventually settled for the black GMT from KLCC. I gave up on Batman even though that was the much preferred model.

Sorry mine is Batman. Didn't read your post properly.

I was offered 29K++ few years back which I didn't get, than about a year ago 36.5K when it comes to my turn then when I last asked in Nov'16 37.5K I quickly react. Last I checked in Jan'17 was 39,500 and now I don't know how much. I got mine from Swissgallery Penang.

You are very lucky to get a batman from AD...I have tried for the last 6 months but finally gave up. They told me that the wait is 2 years?? That's not acceptable la

Those that mark up usually has stock especially the one mark up more. In Penang there are 3 AD, Woo Hin doesn't mark up but never want to take my orders. Gurney mark up usually 500-1000 less than swiss gallery, I got mine on ready stock but at highest price among the 3. Lesson learnt, get it while it is available else ended up like my case paying more 8k at couple years later.

Got mine in uk at retail £6550 (RM36.5k) but similar situation here, you dont see it on display and the waiting list is 1 to 2 years. I know London has stopped taking in names. Grey dealers are selling for close to £7900 (RM44k)
Luckily I waited less than 3 months..helps to know the AD smile.gif I was pushed up the list.
