Back from Holiday in the UK

Well guys and girls,

We survived our "vacation" to the UK and had an incredible time!!! My Rolex GMT II in the UK photos coming soon. It performed flawlessly!!

Went to Harrod's while in London and almost pulled the trigger on a TT GMT IIc. I was so close that my glasses fogged up and my wallet began to creep out of my back pocket on its own, but alas... I came back to the states without one.

The thing that surprised me so much was that Harrod's pricing was actually competitive with our pricing here.

The GMT IIc SS was $5845.00 and the TT GMT IIc was $7645.00. This really surprised me as I expected Harrod's to stick to MSRP if not MSRLP.

Anyway, good to be home amongst the elite Rolex connoisseurs only to be found on TRF!!

Sounds like a good trip.

Did these prices include VAT, or are these prices what you would pay after you get the VAT rebated?

Cheers.
