Rolex watches and the English Pound

Due to the lowest value of the English pound in 24 years
against the Euro, the Yen and the Dollar...
some terrific Rolex prices can be achieved if you act now


Providing you have the money available... of cource.

In the United kingdom before Rolex gets a "whiff" of the price discrepancy
with the rest of the world.. and increase the prices.!! (they do that trust me)

Tell your wife...hey honey how would you like
to go to London for a "dirty" weekend or romantic weekend if "dirty" is not possible..ANYMORE...

She will either think
a) what is wrong with him..?
b) what has he done now..?
c) what is he "cooking"..?
d) since when he likes "dirt"..?
e)...or she'll say...of course darling...why don't we..?

What Ever..

Fly to London and buy any high dollar Rolex on the cheap
I mean cheap cheap cheap..

With the 2.5% OFF the asking price immediately as they have lowered their
sales tax (VAT) FROM 17.5% TO 15%
Then a discount of 15% - 20% which ...it is a piece-of-cake currently
and then another 12% (net) off the above price for export.
I estimate that you can easily achieve around 50% off the U.S. MSRP.....Simple really.!!

Attention
How to handle the return of your VAT or sales tax - Very Important,
as this amount makes the difference between ...
Me helping you buy a cheap Rolex and ...you find it on your own...

When you buy a high dollar Rolex from England
pay separately the net price of the watch and the amount owed for VAT.
The Jeweler provides a stamped self addressed envelope for the return
of the stamped (later by customs this time) export paper at the time of departure
from England to a country outside the EU (the U.S. is conceived as third country outside the EU...not-third world).

Once the jeweler receives this stamped tax export paper he sends you a cheque for
the amount of VAT he charged or in your case credits the
amount to your credit card you have used for such charge.

If you have paid separately the VAT amount you can dispute the charge
in case the jeweler does not return the amount owed for VAT ie. lost envelope, never received envelope etc etc.
I suggest, to keep the customs stamped export paper, come back stateside
then make a photocopy of the stamped export paper and then send back to
to the jeweler registered express, signature required.


Short of the plane, that is carrying the darn paper, falling off the sky...YOU are covered...

Have a nice trip..
