Want a 233 ??

Visited the AD today,to pick up an OEM strap for my wife ... Asked them what they had in stock ?

Held a 233 in my hands.

Now,the price here is ZAR 111K,that is ,at the current exchange rate US$11432.List in the States is $14700.

Anyone feeling like jumping on a plane to buy a watch ???

PS: You also get the 14% VAT(included in the price) back as a foreigner leaving the country ...............................

Now is that a bargain or what for someone buying with $ ???

Also had a look at the IWC BigPilots in SS and WG ..... VERY NICE !!! Thats the IWC I would buy !! Also a wg Perp Calender

I think the exchange rate is much to your favour,whether ariving with dollars/GBP or Euros ..... and then you get less 14% too when claiming the VAT back,when you leave the country.That all ads up to a VERY fair deal.

I also saw the following ..... Power reserve with ss bracelet,PAM 268,PAM 114,Daylight(black) black strap and a 40mm Luminor.

Thats why I mentioned it.Anyone flying this direction for business/holiday etc. shouldnt forget to visit the Panerai ADs,while they are around.It may just be worth it !!

Thats the MRSP price,not a discounted price.Our MRSP on Vendome brands are pretty good.The local currency a bit weaker,than usual,therefore the great buying oportunity.

They should get 15% VAT back if they're only visiting
