Icon12 WHERE SHOULD I BUY NEW Datejust Mens SSteel Fluted Bezel Oystr Bracelet -Perth or KL?

Hi all - new to forum - looks great and am hoping for some great advice! I want to buy my husband a Datejust Mens - Steel Fluted Bezel - Oyster Bracelet Style No: 116234 and don't know whether I should get it in Perth, or take a quick break in Malaysia and get it there - I've been quoted $7,5000 in Perth from the only authorised dealer here, would I get it for much less in KL do you think? if so, where would be the place to buy?

thanks

Rolex Australian AD prices are some of the highest you will find. If you are travelling outside Australia I would check those prices before buying here.

Not an answer to your question, but something you may want to consider if you have not already done so. Quite a few people think that if you have a fluted bezel, a Jubilee bracelet looks better, and that if you have an Oyster bracelet, a plain bezel looks better. In any event, it will look good!

Not to mention that Aussie dollar has dropped 10% within the past couple of weeks...
You may find buying here locally may actually be better...

I believe KL or Jakarta will be cheaper to buy brand new from AD,
but you might also consider taxes (GST) if you bring it back to Aust.

BTW, if you're flying those Air Asia $200 return tickets to Malaysia, you might consider buying in Perth and then claim the GST back when you leave through TRS. Whether you declare it when you come back to Aus will be something you will need to decide

I think all DJ's look better with a Jubilee including the plain bezel - but in particular the fluted bezel.
