I have noticed certain premium watch shop has kept all their watches with the shelves all empty. Its either they are planning to not sell anything till september or they are not ready to do biz without gst.

Watches were not subject to SST prior to GST.

Rolex AD in BSC said no more GST for current stock ... meaning slow moving Datejusts etc. will be cheaper. Then again they always had 5-8% discounts on these anyway, which they may or may not apply now.

Sports models ? No GST for sure ... but I'm certain they'll put up the base price.

Surprise, surprise .... they really did roll back the GST and still maintained the 5% discount for most Oyster Perpetual & Datejust models.  But looks like they took all the sports models off the shelves ... at least at Pavilion. Not sure about the other ADs.

So looks like we will get the 6% discount and hopefully the new SST will not affect watch as before...

But why the dealer keep all the premium models off shelves? What difference does it make they sell now and after SST Implementation? They may missed some potential cumstomer without displaying their stocks... hmm... ???

Not sure if it's temporary or not as maybe they still have not sort out what price to sell. Or maybe they are willing to hoard stocks to earn superb margin when SST comes in as compared to now reduction of 6%.

Another great thing about 0% GST is that you don't have to worry about paying extra for watches delivered from overseas  :Cheers:

No SST charge to the watch in Malaysia, before the GST era.

No body knows whether watches going to get SST this September. Let’s wait the new government publish the SST item list.

I received my sumo from Japan without custom fees duty charges a month ago. Super lucky, whatnot.... Another one is on the way from us. Let's see if any customs duty fees charged thereon.

Yes correct and my bad of mistakenly confuse the GST with import tax duty. Yesterday I received 2 watches from US and as mentioned here that since currently is zero GST and no import tax duty for watches, so I pay nothing except the sale price only. Save quite a lot compared to the time of GST. Think when SST time, the watches price be it local or imported oversea will be generally increased.

Recently bought pre-owned Watch and got held by customs when it came in yesterday. Earlier part when GST was zero rated, I had brought in watches without any prob.

So this time quite unfortunate. The poslaju folks called me and when I enquired about the tax holiday, they agreed that that should be the case now but still I have to waste time and money to go customs to clear my parcel.

Anyone got similar experience lately?
