Either buy it from an AD, that's located in a foreign country, I.E. Mexico, Caribbean Islands usually they are no tax in the first place (even if you pay with credit card) but getting it through customs is a bitch. Or try to approach a US based AD with a proposition that involves you purchasing the watch in full with cash, but if you go the cash route try to get tax knocked off, along with a certain percent of discount as well.

Just ask your AD to ship it to your home from an out of state location.

Ship it to a state where the AD doesn't have a branch.

But from an AD in a state that doesn't have sales tax like Oregon.
I personally had mine shipped out of state. |

Welcome to TRF Rangel! Just like the others said. You can either have your AD ship out of state or go to a state w/o sales tax (ex: Oregon). It is a bit of a hassle, but it'll save you about 8% sales tax. Good luck!

Luckily I only live an hour an a half from Portland Oregon, where there are a couple of really good AD's and no tax.

You could always just wear the watch on the wrist.
