What is meant by "VAT Back," they refund the VAT immediately?

I told them I only go to Paris twice a year and would love to get my hands on one.

She showed me the one she had and I asked if it would be possible to have it.

They had one on the way and were able to make arrangement with the other customer.

This was also one of the only stores in Paris offering the full VAT back, so I got a decent deal as well.

For some odd reasons I never liked the GMT's until i started looking at all the pics of BNLR's on this forum and now I understand the love for it, it's great piece.

the BLNR is my favorite gmt as well. While i had considered getting a pepsi in the past, the ones I saw just didn't sing to me. the BLNR on the other hand had called out to me from every advert i saw while I was in Japan in April, and that's when I knew I had to have one. I got my blnr within 2 weeks of returning from that trip and I absolutely love it! Getting an older pepsi now doesn't even cross my mind. they don't compare to the bi-color cerachrom bezel at all to me.
