This thing has to start from scratch, because of the watch more obsessed, the knowledge of watches is also very deep, and because of personal factors, often have a chance to come and go in between Europe and the mainland, as we all know, in mainland China to buy the table is generally not the price Philippine, especially the top luxury brands, high tariffs and domestic luxury goods tax caused by the top domestic watch prices much higher than abroad, so occasionally to help friends around to buy a watch strap in Europe. This time to go to Germany, accompanied by friends want to buy a table there are several, after working on the work done, go to the Wempe watch shop to see. Wempe shop in Hamburg, things fairly complete, friends want two Pak Philippe and Vacheron Constantin, Rolex are available, the Patek Philippe Ref: 6000 is really very beautiful, black and white Platinum, the price is quite good, So that one of the friends could not resist the temptation, and into a Patek Philippe 5127 rose gold models. I would like to work hard to get friends like Rolex, I do not like Rolex, I tried to persuade friends to make a block Lange, but think about it, buy the table but very personal things, it is estimated that this piece of Rolex he has been Mind plate for a long time, it will no longer speak. When I looked at the watch, I saw Rose of the Bay Goldfinch IWC, before I was not very concerned about the world, because the initial contact with all countries is a friend of a large engineer in the hand, when he was told to take down and tried , A look at the huge table diameter is not suitable for me to wear, and later I realized that the IWC table is known as the only man's watch, one of the characteristics is that the table diameter is generally larger, and my wrist is relatively thin, wear Up is not good-looking, so never mind the idea, nor further understanding of the brand, my favorite brand Lange's form is also relatively large, very regrettable, in recent years the altar table popular fashion , For the wrist of Europeans and Americans is still appropriate, for the East is slightly over. The same friends would also like to buy a watch, so he strongly recommended this simple atmosphere of the Rose Gold Portofino, the price is quite good. The turning point of things happened here, the waiter took Portofino Fino took over, my heart Yi Chan, then one glance, I suddenly liked this simple atmosphere of the wave Fino. In fact, earlier to help friends looking for a table in the shop window when they have seen it, just because at the time looking for other tables, did not pay attention, then remembered, I was busy calling the waiter to take out the stainless steel models, I am ready to buy a day to wear, feel very like when I come over, feel very fit in your hand, simple dial design is more suitable for my professional nature. I asked her to take over the product catalog of the nations and found that Portofino's simple model has three styles, but they have only the silver-plated stainless steel and the rose-gold model that I want to help my friends. The numbers are 356303 and 356302 respectively , No black surface, the waiter said: You are very lucky, only the last paragraph of the store. Asked about the movement, she said it was 30110 and the prototype was ETA 2892-A2, but it was all parts of the world that had been carefully polished and replaced, because of this, Universal would give it its own movement number 30110, Out of the door of the world, the quality is beyond doubt, no matter how to say that the world is among the top ten luxury watch brands ranking 5,6 in between, according to the United States last year, consumer spending in the luxury goods survey, it also once Beat many opponents, ranking first in the United States luxury consumer charts. At this time with a friend to Wepe shop also fancy this watch, so he was still taken away, then the days I have been looking for this, but did not actually until the Frankfurt stock, but then who Friends have a new choice, talk to him, put the watch transferred to me, but a larger turning point is still behind. In the other watch shop to find 356303 period, the waiter also several series of countries in addition to the complicated high-level one by one to give me a try, I hope I do not miss the other before the choice of better, waiter I think this is very Thumbs up. But whether the pilot series, the series of engineers or the Portuguese series, on my wrist are not very satisfied, or is the table diameter is too large (Portugal series, engineers series), or else the dial design does not fit my heart (Pilot series) In fact, I really like the Portuguese series, and if the Portuguese series table diameter is not too large, my choice may become a series in the Portuguese series that is afterword. Finally, the day the friend won the rose gold, followed by a friend in the past took several pieces of Longines and other watches, said to be brought back as a gift to give away, a short afternoon, in Wempe professional watch shop , A pedestrian spent a total of hundreds of thousands of yuan at once, it is staggering. Friends who bought all nations rose gold chatted with him after returning to the hotel, only to find that he is not very fascinated by the kind of watch, he is I see the boss level which most do not pay attention to luxury consumption, very simple, giving Feeling is the kind of practical people, I really appreciate this point, this time a little guilty heart, should not flicker him in the watch shop to buy such a table. Watches and clocks, this kind of thing, only with a deep understanding of its mechanical structure, cultural heritage and historical evolution, will have special significance to buy, if only to show off their wealth or want to wear watches to highlight their social status, which is another It's going. Came back to me after he told me that he would like to enter a Vacheron Constantin or Patek Philippe, may be to see their peers friends are Patek Philippe or Vacheron Constantin affected by it, I was told him that, after waiting to go back, I have a look around my friends do not want this piece of table, the time to transfer out just fine, after all, is not possible to get this price in China, as far as I know, the domestic high price, and no discount Talking, and because he still had a European drive in August, I'd better give him a staff assignment and pick one he likes between Vacheron Constantin and Patek Philippe. Returning from Shanghai into the customs, because in Shanghai there are a few things to do, Shanghai Pudong Airport Customs more lenient, when the exit did not even look at the luggage, the passport covered a chapter came out. When I got home after I got back to work in Shanghai and remembered the world of friends, I asked Portland, a friend of mine, who wanted my stainless steel section, and I think about it My own rose gold is good, I would have loved the precious metal, stainless steel looks a lot of warm and delicate, but the watch of precious metals naturally has a kind of people do not dare look forward to the luxurious grace of temperament. The beginning of stainless steel only because it is worn daily table, afraid of precious metals will be more delicate, easy to scratch before the selection of stainless steel models. The second day after he promised to be a friend of the forum, he called again and said no more because he was going to get married and was going to buy a pair of wedding presents for the watch. For economic reasons, he finally gave up. At this point just a friend saw, I saw very much like, win the spot. Things suddenly turned around, became I won the Rose Gold Portofino Fino, this time the watch has come to Chengdu, had to mail over, the friend of the mail so expensive things are out of my mind, after all, the mail is lost or the courier staff Theft of customer items are also heard from time to time, but there is no solution, no friends recently Chengdu, had to choose express delivery, the process of shocking, but fairly unscrupulous, not detailed here. Last talk about some of their own experience in Europe to buy watches, usually also prefer the watch, so pay more attention to these. On the price of brand-name watches, several European countries are almost the same surface price, but in fact there are special price, that is, we say the discount it, but buy a watch should not be a group of people, mainland tourists are generally three five Flocks, downtown is very difficult to get a very good discount, buy a table when talking loudly, I have seen other guests complain, the waiter was good to you at that time, because they are Professionally trained, but fellow citizens go out, the waiter to keep up with other guests to apologize The environment just too noisy, I am not ashamed of the edge, these details, many of our compatriots seem to care about buying a table of one or two people , Followed by the coming five or six seven or eight have large parcels put in the table shop, and then chat, where to buy something like how much money, music not work. I've seen four people in Wempe a store all of a sudden spent almost 1 million yuan, people seem to care about discounts, are taken over with tapes, feel good to leave payment, spend very generous, basically not Ask what movement ah, what history ah, like to buy, part or cash. In fact, most Europeans in the table shop shopping is very quiet, called the drink, chatting slowly and face to face in front of a table, will be asked in great detail what kind of watch movement and what the history of this series Of course, except for those who know everything. As for the discount, there must be some, but some tables such as Patek Philippe, Ming surface can not be reflected, or manufacturers supply agencies will be punished or canceled after the eligibility, but a certain degree of concessions. In my opinion, this piece of Portofino, the discount is pretty good, and these two tables in the mainland a little discount, even in Hong Kong, I can not get this price may be because we At that time suddenly buy the table price is too high, and my whole translation, the waiter thought I was a tour guide, so gave a very good price, the average tourist is not estimated to get such a price in Europe, the tour guide is a commission I will talk about this one later Patek Philippe's discount is not good to say, and sometimes get a good price, and because the total price is high, even a small amount of concessions, plus tax rebates, it is very impressive, I buy the piece Vacheron Constantin discount than Patek Philippe it is good. In Germany, the basic large-scale chain stores are Wempe, the second should be Baoqilai, other parts also have their own professional watch shop. In general, small places have bigger discounts than big ones, such as Hamburg is bigger than Frankfurt and Bremen is bigger than Hamburg, but this is not absolute either. But most places in France are more expensive than Germany, Switzerland is more expensive than France, and every country is different. I can not understand what is the cause, but the basic price is almost the same in Europe as a whole. France, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden and other countries I have bought a table to help friends or consult the price in detail, I think the last time the price does not come down to buy for several reasons. One is the language exchange is not good, if the performance is well-nourished, fluent in language, the conversation she knew if you have a certain understanding of watches and clocks, the entire purchase process on both sides very happy, the price is natural to talk about. The second is to buy a watch or a certain art, do not show a very strong desire at the beginning, you can call her out to you to enjoy, do not buy to buy later to say, this is a professional watch store in Europe which is complete No problem, I sometimes do not want to buy, that is, go in and play, look good in the window on the look of that section, look out or play people will not refuse you, if you feel right, talk about the price, Step by step, do not ask the price at the beginning, and then take the computer conversion, or start counting how much cash in your wallet, to be honest, that looks very shameful, the price she will not give you too much, she just Europeans are real when you are the rich. The third is that if you are very sure, to buy on their own, do not let the tour guide take you into the purchase of the table, basically speaking, the table will not give tour guides rebate guide has repeatedly stressed that the collusion with the table shop pit you, This is true of most of the European professional watch shop is indeed a very standardized, but do not underestimate the Chinese IQ, especially the local Chinese-German tour guides (that is, take the German nationality, the Mainland worked hard for many years in the past, they really Good, but people have to live not?) They are with the shop commission, I have a friend in Germany is to do the tour guide, but with the domestic tour guide is different, Germany is more standardized, with stores to deal with the guests The phenomenon can basically be said that there is no professional watch shop will not do such an immoral thing, but because you want to pay the tour guide commission, which you will certainly be less discounts. However, if you do not speak the language, you do not understand the table very much. It is also an easy way to bring them. At least they have more direct exchange in German and your interests are well protected, especially if you have special If you ask for it, it is very difficult to rely on body language. If you do not have knowledge, you have to spend more. This is a very simple truth. Never in this world is unfair. And some tour guides watch very professional, they not only can take you to buy a watch, you can also contact the watch factory to visit, visit the scene to pursue the culture of this brand, but enthusiasts are interested in this process, it can not be one-sided Like the mainland tour guides to understand them, what kind of way to buy a watch, have to see your own ability. As for the final price is not cheaper than Hong Kong, which is not certain, because many watches in Hong Kong are channeling over, for example, a distributor of French sales plan is 100,000 a year, he can not sell in France so More, it is possible to flow between the dealers to Hong Kong, the price will certainly be good, warranty, after-sales are no problem, because it is a global guarantee, but the price is certainly low, Hong Kong's own tax is also much lower than in Europe Europe is a high-tax country. Finally, the key is to rebate, the higher the price, the tax refund is amazing, this is what you can enjoy as a foreigner benefits, their locals is impossible, the tax is not low, if not 100% Retreat, is also very impressive. Here to distinguish between tax rebates and discounts are two different concepts, the tax rebate is a national act, equal to the country's obligation to dispense with your tax, and the discount is the business strategy is to promote the store to the customer's operating means. The consumption tax in Europe and the United States varies widely in different countries and regions. For example, in European countries, the tax rate is relatively high, ranging from 15% to 19%. In the United States, the consumption tax is even more varied from zero to 15% There are, and the purchase of luxury, there are different taxes, but this tax is for their own residents, which other countries in theory, the tourists do not need to pay the consumption tax to their country, so hand in hand three months passport In the exit when you can apply for a refund, in fact, not all items purchased can be tax rebates, you need to buy the same place in the total price of more than a certain amount of the job, the price of watches is generally higher than this amount is There is no problem at all, which need to ask the store with the store when the purchase can be tax refund (some shops do not have the right to refund), if possible, when they pay you will be specifically to help you fill in a tax rebate and stamped on it, This time you need to show your passport, because the tax refund slip need to fill in the passport number, name and your address and the like, the general store is Help you fill out the passport number and name, address you can then fill in (this address does not require special detail, the city, the street number on the line, this is for the customs tax officials to see, they also get the address of your country ) Sometimes, when the tax rebate, customs officers will check with the merchant based on the address on your invoice, but this is rare. If the amount of the tax rebate is relatively high and you need to return the cash directly, you will also need the store to fax the invoice of your purchase to the customs office to prepare them for the first time. Generally, the customs office does not reserve a lot of cash. If the refund amount is too high , More than 1,500 euros, can not receive cash, they will hit the tax rebate back to your credit card, usually in a week will arrive. After these procedures are completed, when you exit, the customs officers will be based on your tax bill inspection, if you intend to check, this time you buy the goods do not pack the consignment, or you can not refund the tax, I Have friends tried boarding pass when the purchase of things into the baggage away, holding the tax rebate into the customs and then retreat, the results Refund Department at the time of the inspection officer can not see the purchase of things, Directly refused, on the tax rebate, both inside and outside the customs, if it is off tax, that is, when processing boarding pass and baggage when the tax rebate, which boarding pass and baggage procedures, the registration The flight attendant will let you pull the baggage tagged with the baggage checkout label to the Refund counter, where you will be subject to the tax refund officer's check, and finally to the stamp on your tax return, then you will get the stamped tax return The counter at the counter receives cash, your baggage will remain with him, and special people come and pull away your baggage for shipment. At this point you will no longer be able to take the purchased item out of the trunk. Is a valuable small items lost or damaged checked afraid, then you will enter the customs tax refund. If you enter the customs and then tax rebates, you need to first purchase the items in your hand, go through the security check back to find the tax officer inspection and stamping, and then receive cash at the Refund counter, the items you buy with your boarding it. When tax rebate as much as possible let him back euro cash, do not take renminbi, because their exchange rate is very bad, you will be very deficient in renminbi. As for the duty-free shops in the airport, although they are nominally exempt from tax, they are not necessarily 100% tax exempt. Even duty-free 100%, and because there is no discount at all, the price will be lower than the one purchased at a local city store and then refunded High prices, compared to Frankfurt, Munich, Stockholm, Kennedy and several airports, duty-free cosmetics and perfumes and other items in the price comparison, the result is Beijing, Shanghai Airport duty-free shops are the lowest price, but generally not on an international flight Passengers can not enter the duty-free zone only. In short, the purchase of the table is a physical and mental enjoyment process, rather than a naked money transaction, this is not exactly the same in Hong Kong or the mainland watch shop, the European professional high-grade watch shop, the waiter feels very gentleman, elegant manner , Not because you just look down on you despise or impatient, from beginning to end, gentle gentle treatment of courtesy, this should be part of the value of it, the final price, only their own weigh, and in general Westerners are straight, and in the end he will give you a Final Price, and then you can not let him lower again, rolling on the ground is useless, that is his bottom line, like to buy, do not say repeatedly, get Everyone is not happy, do not think about it is not the price he sold high, his commission is high, this is his business, in fact, this is not the main fact, those high-end watch shop waiter income is quite good, Watch shop will provide them with a decent and elegant treatment of life, waiters have very professional training, ordinary new entrants into the intern, a dedicated master belt And after a certain independent assessment to sales, so to avoid behavior waiter goes beyond industry rules, this is also a part of European culture. In addition, some shop cash is indeed lower than the price of credit cards (most professional watch shop cash payments and credit card payments is no difference), but carry a lot of cash is not a good idea, the French and Italian thieves are more In particular, the number of thieves has increased even after several countries in Eastern Europe joined the EU. A large number of thieves like Romania and Turkey have been fleeing in Western European countries. I heard at the Kennedy Airport in the United States, 80,000 dollars that a compatriot carried with me were taken away by a black guy. Because it was cash, there was simply no way to report to the police and the police were very strange how he could use such high cash With the exit. I have a friend wallet which is 500 Euro bill, in a shop not too small to buy things, the waiter can not say directly, not even a bottle of beverage can buy, when a group of primary school students passing by, Wai Come over and whisper to say "Wow, 500 yuan !!" Basically, children are basically not seen this large amount of real banknotes, are only seen on the book, even 500 euro notes in Europe Ordinary people can be considered very large denomination, do not understand the RMB as understood as the 500 yuan, think about it, a cup of Coke is generally about 0.48 yuan, a bottle of Coca-Cola is generally loaded 1.8 yuan, their level of consumption is quite Low, according to their income, the concept of one euro is our one dollar, happiness is very, if you have to convert them into renminbi to prove their things expensive, which you first have to compare their income x 8.5. If you use a credit card in Germany must use Union Pay (UnionPay), the exchange rate is more cost-effective than Visa and Mastercard, Germany has been able to use the UnionPay card recently, Cash Union where you can see UnionPay UnionPay logo, if Visa is 8.5, Which UnionPay will be lower than 8.44, if it is to buy such a huge list of watches, do not underestimate this difference, the most direct is that you pay less for the renminbi. To add a little IWC information: The founder of the Schaffhausen IWC is a pioneering American. Since 1868, the Swiss watchmaker has been leading the watchmaking process and continues to set new standards in the highly sophisticated watchmaking industry. IWC watch known as "high-end watch engineers," said, specializing in the manufacture of men's watch. Classic style with clever design, elegant and sophisticated, extremely easy to operate - this is the world famous IWC. Dials engraved "Swiss Schaffhausen", but the world-renowned watch factory chose to set up an idyllic town on the Rhine, many people feel puzzled. The fact that the site is far from Switzerland's famous watchmaking center, and that the International Watch Company is not the name of a Swiss company, leaves people curious about their origins. Florentine Ariosto Jones, a young American from Boston, is a watchmaker with pioneering spirit, ambition and keen business acumen. He had a perfect plan in mind when crossing the Atlantic by ship. He used the modernized American production machines to create the extremely precise pocket watch movements and set off a clock revolution in Switzerland at a time when the economy was enjoying a low wage. Jones founded in 1868 in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, the establishment of IWC form the company, making the local cradle of innovative precision watchmaking industry. In a short distance from the Rhine Falls, this newly built watch factory uses hydraulic power for modern production. Jones founder pioneering spirit, passion and ambition, laid the cultural foundation of the watch factory. Clocks themselves are more intriguing than the precise time for engineers at IWC watches. They love the bold concept of innovation, their dedication to precision and innovative design. So, for more than 140 years, IWC has made a significant contribution to the development of the watch industry . In the professional watchmaking technology, Schaffhausen's innovative technology, watch enthusiasts praise. The original watch of the IWC includes the superb complex watch series, the Da Vinci watch series and the Portuguese watch series. Pilot watch series, engineers watch series and marine watch series, then belong to the traditional watch. The series of watches with sports / practical design, coupled with stainless steel or titanium case, the most suitable for sports wear daily wear. IWC watch engineers have great enthusiasm for innovation and invention, technological innovation and the significant development of the watch industry, becoming the driving force for the progress of the IWC table. In 1885, the only pocket watch factory in eastern Switzerland developed the first pocket watch with digital display, causing a sensation worldwide. In 1889, all over the watch factory in fierce competition, and strive to create the first watch worn in their hands, during this period, IWC form the forefront of the world to create a watch series leader. "Based on Schaffhausen, look to the world" is the credo of the IWC table, IWC is still firmly occupy a leading position, although located in a small town away from watchmaking center. Making special timepieces to meet special needs has been the most enjoyable challenge for the Schaffhausen team in Switzerland, such as the flagship antimagnetic pilot watch Mark XI made by the RAF to become a legend in the industry, while the Navy, railroad companies and Divers developed special timepieces, the IWC won the "creative thinking inventor" in the world. To create a world record seems to have become the inner power inherited by IWC. The Extra Complicated Watch is one of the most complex mechanical watches in the world with a total of 659 miniature components. The sophisticated design of this watch, capable of producing a handful of watch manufacturers, and the limited number of production, the annual output will not exceed 50, so only a handful of collectors have the opportunity to have. Perpetual calendar watch manufactured by IWC watches is very sophisticated, in addition to the replacement of the century-old display attached, no further adjustments. This watch is almost universally known for all leap years, except for the years beginning in 2100, 2200 and 2300, because Gregorian Calendar calculates that these years are not leap years, so watchmakers need to do that slightly To adjust. Tourbillon Tourbillon made of titanium to create, composed of nearly 100 components, the total weight of only 0.296 grams, refresh the record of light design projects. Marine 2000 automatic diving watch, with 2000 anti-atmospheric pressure function; Portuguese calendar watch dial unique, the moon phase of the southern hemisphere profit and loss display correct. The Schaffhausen IWC is not only an expert in traditional precision watchmaking, but also the first to use high-tech materials. IWC was the first watchmaking company to use titanium metal for the watchmaking industry, and the technologies developed from this will be applied internally to the watch case. Since its establishment, IWC never slackens in watchmaking training to ensure that its watchmaking technology is handed down from generation to generation. The 400 employees at the Schaffhausen plant in Switzerland and 100 employees around the world are convinced that the traditional culture of precision watchmaking is appreciated by clock and watch experts. "Probus Scafusia" represents the extraordinary technology and craftsmanship of the Swiss Schaffhausen IWC.
