AH Riise (sp?) mall had a great selection. They do not send via mail by either direct telephone order or internet. I believe authorized Rolex dealers cannot send via mail. The watches were definately lower cost than the states (albeit not the 20% - 30% one associates with duty-free). Gold Submariner was around 8% - 10% less than in the states. Good luck.

Try giving them a call 340-776-2303 I know they ship lots of stuff through the mail, including Swatch, so I'm not sure why they wouldn't ship Rolex.

Yeah, I would have thought so, too. I asked the salesman if I could call or order via internet/email. His response was that I could order over the phone and give credit card to charge, but they would need to give the watch to someone there. The story was that because of the "duty-free" pricing, Rolex won't allow them to mail-order the product to prevent unfair pricing on other authorized dealers.

Diego - if you find out differently, please post or private email me! I'm finally in the market and don't have a trip planned until next February!

No mail order or internet shopping on these items - unfortunately
🙁

For really high end stuff- there are couriers who will bring it back for you. They'll make a run for a bunch of items for various people. This is only cost effective for really high-end items (diamonds, other gems, rolex, etc)
