Hi, i'm not too sure about the price selling here in malaysia....

Is the VAT included in this price? Are you able to get the VAT refund? Is the AD there willing to give you some discount?

Malaysia has no tax and usually 18% for TAG can be given (some can get more depend how close you are with the AD)...
I was in UK for long and I've never buy any watches there (except used from those well known forum) simple because of the VAT and I can get it cheaper in Malaysia :)

If you will be back to UK after your trip home next month, maybe can do a price compare before you decide ;) I can understand how suffer it is for the "waiting game"  ;D

Good Luck  :Cheers:

Scott

hahaha
yes the tahan stage is the worst......your heart is pumping, you get shivers as if you r experiencing nicotine withdrawal!
£1300= RM7800......
normally its going for about £2000= RM 12000
so very very very very tempted

Hi Genec,

sorry for confusing you..the price i mentioned is list price (before discount)...Some say Tag is not worth to buy bcos except for the swiss movement and most of the parts was assembly and done in Hong Kong.

if you got a good budget why don't eye on Omega (just my 2 cents opinion)?
