Price comparison of Vacherons in Asia

Hi, I will be traveling through Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore. I was wondering if anyone has input on where I can get the best deals out of these 3 countries. I will be visiting their capitals. Thanks!

Sorry for another ignorant question but for these countries are they duty free and tax free? If they aren't tax free is there a tax refund system such as VAT refund in Europe. Thanks so much! I have never been to these places before. Would I be able to get them to budge on the sticker price by any chance?

Singapore will be your best prices. You can get the sales tax back at the airport on the way out--about 5%

+1. Try your luck at the ADs. You are likely to get a better deal. The VC boutique in SIN strictly do not discount.

The ADs will discount. I usually buy from Cortina but there are other good ADs around.

How much would you think I can get off for a steel model? I know gold ones usually can go for 15-20% off

I am not sure on the discount. I am in the market for an Overseas and was talking to my sales person about it. I could get about that level of discount but I am a known customer and have bough a lot of watches from them. I would guess you could get 15%.
