AD in Shangai
Going to Shangai soon.
Any AD you would recommend there? Is it worth paying them a visit or it is going to be the same crazyness we see anywhere else in the world? Thanks for your input! |

I'm not sure about Rolex MSRP pricing in China either. Cartier shops I went to before were nearly 2-3x the price of a U.S. Cartier Boutique. Probably still better than GM SS prices though depending on what you're looking for.

I hear there are a ton of gray dealers there with inventory to last a decade. But not MSRP so I skip.

Will be just as crazy. You can try but don't expect to find anything.
Good luck |

Deep inside I kind of knew it but wanted to keep faith...! I will probably not waste my time then.

Rolex prices are higher in SH due to import duty. There are some AD On The Bund walkway. It’s a nice walk and some decent shopping, but don’t expect to find any sports models.

I think there is also luxury tax too. I haven’t been back there the last year so can’t tell you exactly the current state or depletion of stock. There are also some co-signment stores that carry used Rolex worth checking out. It’s all near the Bund. Have a good trip.

As far as I know, China has a special "luxury tax" on luxury goods. Thus the higher prices.
