Buying watch in Switzerland

[Watchdog]

Hi all, newbie here, was wondering whether is it worthwhile buying a watch like Rolex (or any big swiss watch brand) etc in Switzerland or I should be looking here locally instead (incl in SG) in terms of price wise. I mean after tax rebate claim is it cheaper there?

TQ.

If you want to buy Roli, the cheapest with choices, according to most of the sifus here is Hong Kong

just wondering, been travelling myself a while ago...but never notice howmuch different price here, compare to HK, US, SG, CHINA, etc etc....if 5-10% only i prefer buying here...the slight premium paid for the comfort and security....but more than that i would say worth it...

Thes swiss are crossing the borders to buy household stuff due to the strong swiss franc.Do you think watches will be cheap?

Was in Zurich in February this year - prices (even after claiming for VAT) is way higher than what you can get in this part of the world. The only interesting thing there is choice - nice for window shopping though

Ya...window shopping is the key word

Thanks guys... Will add window shopping to my itinerary when I go there in a couple months time.
Btw...something off this topic.. Was told by a friend's friend (hence reliability of info questionable) that apparently there's like a kinda factory outlet in Paris where you can get cheap branded watch. He got his Graham for like 1/3 off RRP. Any takers on this?

Heap my friend from Switzerland has said too that it will not be any cheaper buying it although the watch is from Switzerland
