Hi all! Appreciate all the advice / nerding out about watches in this group! 🙂 Planning to get my first Rolex and also have some upcoming travel to Budapest planned. Has anyone purchased a Rolex there? How was the experience? Trying to take advantage of the high VAT!

Your biggest issue is going to be that, no matter where in the world you are, there’s not going to be substantially more stock than anywhere else. You might get lucky, but assume there’s a long waiting list at every AD for basically every watch these days.

Are you transferring or flying direct? European airports can be a good place to look (and it is duty free).

Call them before hand and ask and if so to keep for you with a deposit. You should get VAT back. I believe watch boutiques at Prague and Budapest are individually owned. Might ask for some extra money on the side. I recall few years ago for example I was in Prague and I called an AP boutique and asked if they would consider to sell me an AP pen and he said sure. Usually these only go to clients who purchase a watch.

Thanks all! Just looking for a Datejust so hoping supply won’t be too much of an issue. Great idea to call ahead and ask if they would hold it with a deposit! Appreciate the advice 🙂 Beyond excited for this purchase!

Amazing! Perks of wanting a lady DJ I guess 🙂
