Impulse purchase while abroad

Got this beauty during my trip to Spain. 21% tax refund made it very appealing. Plus rose gold is just phenomenal.

Where in Spain? We stayed at the Four Seasons in Madrid and unfortunately I never had the time to check out the iconic Rolex AD in the same building.

For me, it's love at first sight. The rose gold is indeed breathe taking.

Well the story is quite simple. This store just opened a few days ago and had some inventory. I guess the timing was just right. Also customer service in Spain is nothing like US. Rolex store feels like a very nice and welcoming place. )

Nice watch but I’d talk to your CPA so you’re not overpaying the govt all year.

That is a super sharp piece. Elegant + sporty. Does that mean the watch is 20% less than if purchased from the boutique or US AD? If so…..nice deal.

Not quite 20% cheaper, since prices are different in EU and US, but should be around 12% less than US AD price including all taxes, conversion rates etc.
