I’ll be traveling to Switzerland for the first time. Is it possible that watches are cheaper there or would that really not be the case?

If Omega offered "European Delivery" with a tour of their assembly line I'll be all over it.

Interesting thought. Following.

I know cars manufacturers offer discounted European Delivery programs to save on import taxes

A colleague based in Zurich said it is more expensive than Germany and France. But tourist can get 8% tax back.

If you really want to save, take a train down to Italy and find a jeweler that will do the traditional VAT rather than global blue. You’ll have to get the paperwork stamped by customers and mail it back to the jeweler but you’ll get the full 22% back.

Not cheaper in Switzerland
