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?

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:

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:

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!

Yeah, saw that too in 1U. I have 2 watches that are 40 but Ball 40 seem like a bit small. haha.. I am still taking Nik advice, if i am going to get it i will go for 43.

Bro, if I order this where will they ship it? To a dealer in Malaysia? Or will they ship to my house in Sarawak? I'm new to this can someone explain how this works? The website does not say ship where or what le.
Thanks in advance!

They will ship the watch to the AD of your choice....not to your house...

I did ordered some auto part from UK last few months ago, the seller didnt even charge me UK GST or Malaysia GST.
Post by: ck77 on January 07, 2016, 11:57:43 AM
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.?You are consuming the goods here, thus GST is charged.

You are lucky if your goods passed thruogh custom without GST.

Yes. Wonder they are GST registered with MY custom.
Those who ordered in CHF and charge 8% tax (Swiss GST) then delivered to MY might be imposed MY GST ?

So no AD got this here in kl? Must order online? Cheaper if get it from store ? If buy online the currency will follow bank rate which is higher.
the bank rate is the least of your concern....buying from AD would means buying at usd15xx minus whatever discount you could get....ordering from ball means buying at usd9xx and you get to personalise the watch....
But in your case, it would be too late to order from Ball directly.... The last day was 31 dec....i assumed you havent ordered online since you asked this question... Hence, AD would be your only option....

Here it is, real-world pictures of the Genesis and it was well-worth it's pre-order price. 1mm thick micro gas tubes, butterfly clasps, and those huge numerals on the dial were bound to attract wrist presence, especially so in the dark! "

Hi SpiderBoy and Ape, most welcomed and glad that you guys liked the pics and review. I'm pretty sure that you would take a liking at your Genesis when it gets delivered. At the back of my mind, I had a niggling thought if 40mm might be a better choice but after trying the Engineer ii 40mm and 42mm at MV today, I dare say that the 43mm Genesis was a good size for today's times :thumbsup:
