Buying a Rolex at Ports of Call

[alexx]

Hi all

We will be on the Magic for the 2005 oct. 14th 7 nights eastern cruise.

Is some of you know what is the price of a Rolex Submariner or a replica at one of the two ports of call we go on the cruise?

I heard that the duty free shops in the islands sell at a fairly low price.


Many thanks for the answers

I have a oyster perpetual that I got at a local jewler here in N.W. Indiana and wanted to find one for my wife on our western sailing 11/04. The price was within 200.00 of what I could get here at home....I prefer to keep my $$ here so I can have it cleaned and serviced........JMHO

Actually A.H. Riise in St. Thomas (the island's official Rolex dealer) has the same one my DH gave to me for our 15th anniverary (I think it's oyster perpetual.) It was 700.00 less! Also, no sales tax.

However, I'm happy he purchased it here too, for the same reason, the servicing and cleaning.

Alexx, you might do a google search for A.H. Riise in Port Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas for their phone number! I don't know how receptive they'd be to quoting a price over the phone, but it's worth a try.

Rolex allows them to discount about 15% off the retail price plus no sales tax so total savings from local jewerly store was close to one fourth less! On a 8000 purchase that is a nice savings. There are two authorized dealers in St. Martin.

Just think, that savings could pay for another Disney cruise. (Well, depending on when one sails.)

I've been after a Brietling Navitimer. Anyone seen one of these?

They sell Breitling at Little Switzerland at Havensight mall in St. Thomas. It's within walking distance of the ship once you disembark.

I bought my husband a Rolex in St. Maarten for $1000 less than at our local Rolex dealer. It was when we took it in to be appraised by this dealer we learned we got a fantastic deal on the watch. The dealer services the watch with no problem. Kathy

The local Jared store here in Las Vegas said they would sell the Rolex I got in St Thomas at AH Riise for $400 more than I paid for it. The staff at AH Riise also added an extra link to the band that they did not charge me for, and adjusted the buckle to fit my wrist. I would recommend looking there, if you are in the market for a nice watch. Plus there's no tax!!
