Possible when you include the tax back at airport, and you can get watch back into your own country without any tax custom problems.

I don't knw but not trying to be smart...giving advise on how to illegally bring a watch back into your hime country is a little dodgy... I'm sure you are allowed one as a gift to yourself? ( might be wrong?)

Try to find more info on sg-roc.com. That's Singapore Rolex owners club. As for me Singapore is not anymore shoppers paradise, you cannot get any discount for sporty models and the tax refund is only about 5%.

Your home country may also charge duty, which offsets any discount you may have received.

I thought our Goods and Services Tax (GST) is 7%, so it should be 7% tax rebate from the airport.

I am not sure if Buying in Korea is more expensive.

Anyway, you can try visiting The Hour Glass Boutique, Dickson Boutique and Emperor Boutique. These are some Rolex authorised dealers in Singapore.

Alternatively you can try to look at www.sg-roc.com for some good deals, but authenticating them in RSC is a must, and they deal in cash term.

Hope that helps.

Happy shopping.

Yes, if you declare it, and failure to declare it can lead to a fine and double the duty (depending on your country of course).

Gst in Singapore is indeed 7%, but you cannot get full rebate in the airport as some commission is charged. In reality tax refund is around 5-5,6 %.
