Seems like there's a 10% import tax?

From past experience, watches coming into MY incur an excise duty of 5%. However, customs can be rather annoying in this regard. The officer can incur additional tax brackets onto the item as they see fit (claiming the item is for spare parts or some other taxable category). Another tactic I noticed is calculating the excise duty with higher currencies (purchased an item from EU in USD  but got charged a flat tax in CHF rather than the actual USD value. Courier - in this case Fedex - paid in advance without negotiating, and we would have to foot the bill). If u can choose to collect item for urself, u have the opportunity to negotiate i.e. sweet talk for a lower charge - these fees r mostly at the discretion of the officer). Ultimately though, the sums involved were not a significant percentage of the overall delivery. Just things to be aware of.

Having said all that, I'm actually not sure if this is entirely relevant since yours is a non-commercial delivery - the item belongs to u and ur merely delivering it rather than selling it right?

There is a small possibility that they might get greedy la looking at a figure like that - their work performance is quota driven, similar to traffic officers. Otherwise, if all goes smoothly it should be costing u roughly 7.5k or so (pending shipping and insurance ).

This is another thought. If its possible, why not have them send it over to the next closest boutique or AD maybe, and u can collect it from there? Ur a valued customer, give them some kinda justification and see if they'd be able to accommodate.

problem is u can't under declare , due to the insurance you are paying for it

so the 5% is unavoidable, n that is the bare minimum tax u need to pay

if u send to SG its straight away 7%

Hi guys. I'm looking for the VC overseas. Was wondering if anyone here can hook me up with a sales rep who is willing to help me out.

I went to cortina, but they were like giving me "fuck off face".

They really sayang u la bro    its a really nice touch la VC, ini baru customer relationship. merry xmas!

Last one to wrap up my year; an unexpected call to collect on Xmas day.

That's top notch customer service / after-sales service. How many VC's did you buy from them ?

Remembered someone here uploading a picture of Omega sending them a package too.

Should have bought my Omega from a Boutique lol

Anyway, does PP give out anything ?

Happy New Year to you and your family bro, thanks for the reply. The American 1921 has a unique dial!

Agreed, i wasn't aware that boutiques used to send out gifts on special occassions etc, should have gotten my previous watch from a boutique. Just wondering though, if i happened to only buy 1 VC, would i still receive something from the boutique or would i need to be maintaining an X amount of purchases in a given time period to get these goodies ?

Have always been wondering about it.

In general, many boutiques and ADs do not send out these CNY boxes to their customers; perhaps only the few top spenders. Here, I've only received and seen a few: Omega, PP, JLC, AP, Cortina, THG.

Chor 7 and I finally received my Seiji:

Mine’s a terrible photo, but the pattern reminds me of a GS I tried on recently.

Blue ones probably still tough without history, but black/silver should be doable.
They had a big price rise on 1/6 - I think most models are now below RRP since then. Maybe some blue ones still slightly above.
