Due to my tight schedule I negotiated via email, I just went to their shop to pickup the watch

Checkout my blog as I think I did a short write up on the VAT refund process at Schipol airport, not sure if things have changed since then

Oh cool. smile.gif how much were u able to negotiate from listed price? Jus wanna know so i dont get cheated.. Hahah

I was there in march. Nothing is cheaper than malaysia at that time. Atleast at all retail shops i browsed...i dunno if got any obscure secret shops. Heck even heathrow airport retail price higher than malaysia
*
Wow thanks biggrin.gif guess malaysia's currency too weak..

Any nice shopping place to recommend? Outlets?

Word of advice if ur seriously buying, molest all u can here then go there just pull the trigger if it's significantly cheaper else ur going to waste time there undecided and worst is no stock for the model u really want... plan ahead bro, hope to see some wrist shots soon

Wil plan ahead bro. 5 months to go biggrin.gif

This model was on my list before I decided to get Carerra Heuer-01 Red Bull. But this BR looks more classy and upmarket.
Last time when I was in Munich (2 years back), overall the watch price seems more expensive. Lack of discount. Not sure now.

oh? this trip im going london-munich-paris.

hopefully paris will have some better discounts. i still have time, gonna survey Omega pricing here in the coming weeks. Any good AD to intro? wanna have a look at this too:
