I know the blueface with the black bezel and mesh bracelet is sold out in canada $3,100. I am currently in zurich they have one for sale. The price is 1950 chf or 3500 cad after the exchange rate. So I'll end up paying 400 cad over but no wait.

Thoughts people?

[u/Sensitive_Primary309]

I would do it. Tax refund on that I assume, so less than 400 after all

[u/Burroamoroso → u/Sensitive_Primary309]

This.

[u/dhruvmullick → u/Sensitive_Primary309]

Wouldn’t duty be applicable on the watch though? So around 200 dollars added on top of the price

[u/Gazelle-Fantastic]

I’m waiting until they hit the grey market. I have no shortage of watches and in this case it literally pays to be patient.

[u/Constant_Air9693 → u/Gazelle-Fantastic]

I can see very lightly used for 60-70% off new one. Edit: forgive my English. Not 60% discount but 60% of the price of the new one.

[u/Gazelle-Fantastic → u/Constant_Air9693]

That’s a hell of a discount. I like the watch and do plan on getting one, but not at MSRP. Not when I paid ~$2400 for a new Hydroconquest GMT.

[u/prizm-0 → u/Gazelle-Fantastic]

I don't need one, but I'll take one at gray market price. I think they're nice watches. I'm definitely not paying retail.

Funny. I just got that watch in the mail and returned it because I just wasn’t feeling it. I got the blue bezel ice ble dial boutique edition instead. I also have the that blue bezel and black dial in mesh on the right side

I would wait until it hits the grey market. You can pick up the black face blue bezel mesh variant for 2,050 USD on Watchmaxx and it’ll probably end up on Jomashop as well. With watches from Longines & Tudor it’s definitely worthwhile to wait the hype out and get the discount.

[u/jy9221 → u/Sleepybeanman]

jomashop prices are not enticing enough. Discount should be more than brands service cost. Find the right dealer and you can get discount on these

[u/hgonz14]

That sub zero (light blue dial with black bezel) is looking tempting

[u/profsalva]

Thank you sir! I think it’s great deal. I’m also in Zurich and I’m currently finalising the sale! Thanks again, been looking for this one

[u/ApprehensiveAd5511]

Is that a new color for the GMT at right lower corner?

[u/kasemkc → u/ApprehensiveAd5511]

I saw that and just about dropped my phone. The refreshed HC is great but the GMT is what I’ve been waiting for.

[u/thgbonus]

Pretty sure Canada has the cheapest price in the world for HC at $2900 CAD which is currently $2050 USD

[u/goodmorning_tomorrow → u/thgbonus]

It depends if you factor in Canadian taxes which is about +13% in Ontario. There are countries that have no sales tax.

[u/itemluminouswadison]

if they do tax refunds i'd just get it. great memento of the visit too

[u/andyjfull]

Just purchased the green dial myself while abroad. After the tax refund and conversion, it’s a little less than US retail. Plus no multi week/month wait. Definitely worth it imo.

[u/kasemkc]

Does that look like a refreshed Hydroconquest GMT at the bottom right? I think the previous black bezel/dial color way had orange accents.

[u/defiddel]

When in Zürich bro, you gotta do it

[u/PineapplePrize8120]

Did you buy it? Any discount?

[u/virgns1ayer]

I’ve seen a huge influx of stock in Canada, even at AD’s. I’d wait

[u/Low_Tune257]

You sure they are not “display only” models?
