saw from the website, actually we can place order from Ball website.. The price is at RM3,684.  Just wonder, when they send to the watch to us, will kena GST or import duty tax or not?



Thank you

Just my 2 sen from previous checking with Ball CSR. The moment you chose Malaysia under the delivery address, the 6% tax would be auto-included; thereby sending the price to be circa RM4k. Shipping is free as the customised watch would be sent from Swiss to the Malaysian AD some 4 months later, which would in turn contact you for the pick-up. If you want to try the watch first, then your best bet was to wait for ADs to receive it in May 2016 (pre-order will have you receiving it 3 months earlier i.e. in Mar 2016 coinciding with its 125th anniversary). But then again, you would be paying the retail plus GST price of circa RM7.1k (depending on Forex) come May 2016. Given its LE status and its limited quantity, my take was that it should make a good addition to one's collection  :thumbsup:

Interesting! Thanks for sharing this! I'm still thinking whether or not i should order one of this with my name engraved!

For the benefit of everybody, this was quoted just before making payment...andy is right the vat/gst is added later....

Hahahaha.. I have another two weeks to think it through. At RM4k for a personalised Ball watch sounds very appealing, indeed! I don't have as many watches like most of the fellow members at the MWF but, of late, quite a number of my existing watches have not been getting much wrist time. Hence, need to be a bit selective now. One pertinent question that I am asking myself is would this Ball get much wrist time?  :Confused:

Errrrr.... the SG50 looks rather.... hideous?

This 125th anniversary ones are much better.

Are these aviator watches? Or are they just big to show?

If i am buying this, i would go for 43 (no intention for it to be worn with office attire) and steel (just because it is the same price and steel is usually more expensive, but i will immediately change to an after market leather strap and keep the steel bracelet in the box)

Not an issue since you can select either 49mm or 43mm when ordering the watch!

Just curious. If order made to Ball (outside Malaysia) why they charge GST. I thought overseas purchase not need pay GST? only if custom checked ur package right? If purchase made from Ball MY then charge should be made in MYR right.?

I did ordered some auto part from UK last few months ago, the seller didnt even charge me UK GST or Malaysia GST.
