While on vacation in Greece, I stopped by a Rolex boutique to see if by miracle they have some SS sports models in stock. Nothing but they have one TT Sky-Dweller. I have only seen this watch online, never in person and I thought it was nice but never really put in my wish list.

When I saw it in person, I just had to have it. Plus, the 24% VAT refund made it somewhat reasonable.

So, I bought it and it is home now with me.

Congratulations. Nice pick up.

The first TT white one I met in person had just come into my AD. I was dropping off my Z-Blue for a warranty repair. The classic right place, right time situation. Once it was in my hand it was impossible to let go of it.

A year ago next week and the honeymoon is far from over.

youthagainsttt · 28 June 2021, 09:54 AM

Great piece, I was strongly considering this watch before I bought another one recently. The 24% tax refund - no brainer!

Congratulations!

Did you receive the VAT discount on the spot at the store, or later at the airport?

rmlovett1 · 28 June 2021, 12:08 PM

Big congratulations!

stark1 · 28 June 2021, 12:23 PM

Hopefully it captures a nice vacation memory for you. Congrats!

Kawirider · 28 June 2021, 12:29 PM

Beautiful watch. Congratulations. My favorite piece and my only current Rolex.

Can someone explain to me what VAT is? I see a lot of talk about it amongst out of country buyers and how do you end up saving money from it?

Excuse my ignorance on the matter.
