Not true for the Rolex watches. You will see a lot of shops, especially Bucherer, claiming that there Rolex watches are the cheapest in the world, being Swiss made and what not. But you can get the same model at a much cheaper price in Singapore after the discounts given at the shops.
The reason? Labour costs in Switzerland is sky high. Hence even though it is Swiss made, they need to pay the salesgirl commission etc...hence the prices are not as cheap as it ought to be
