Sorry TempoKing... China is the worst place to buy luxury watches due to the luxury tax. Hong Kong yes, mainland China, forget it.

Come to Singapore... 15% discount is the norm here... plus tourist get a 7% VAT/GST rebate at the airport...

I would say Hong Kong, one of the largest AD cities for Rolex and Tudor and also great discount and prices there.

I'll second Buenos Aires. Think Paris, yet full of Italians. That's BA.

You'll find every watch brand there, so naturally you'll find Rolex. The dollar goes a long way, the food is off the charts, and there's a lot to do both in BA and the surrounding region. You have the beaches in Mar del Plata. You can take a 2-hour flight to Mendoza, which is the Argentina wine country. It's gorgeous, and Mendoza has the most spectacular city park I've ever seen. You can also take the ferry across to Uruguay, and stay a few days in Punta del Este. It's really quite a place.

Hi Matt, think you're referring to the place called Orchard Road ... it's a shopping paradise.

Point to note, it's VERY easy to get a Daytona in Singapore. Practically all ADs have it ... no waiting time.

I understand they are much more expensive in Switzerland.

How about going on a cruise in the Med?
