AD in Yorkshire, UK
First time poster here who is possibly going to be buying a new Rolex in the Spring time when I visit my parents in Yorkshire. I currently live in Edmonton, AB, Canada and have seen the closest dealers to my parents are in York (Fraser Hart) and Harrogate (A Fattorini). Any recommendations on either dealer would be appreciated or other local ones to North Yorkshire.I did e-mail both AD's and they confirmed they can sort out the VAT refunds in the store as I live out of the country. Do they knock off the price when I pay in the store or do I have to claim the money back when I leave the UK at the Airport?I am interested in the new Air King but from e-mailing both dealers they are in high demand over there so not sure if they will have anything when I visit. I also like the Submariner date that hopefully would be easier to find. Does anyone know the RRP of the new Air King and Submariner Date in the UK?Thanks in advanceTim
