Cartier Tank - where to buy?

[shirt]

Simple as that really. I’ve been tasked with sourcing one for a friend who lives in Switzerland. She travels a fair bit for work so is looking for a decent price with tax back on top. I’d have thought London would be ideal?

Any suggestions as to a dealer? Not sure on the exact model but it’s this one

No VAT refund in the UK now

Dom Hackett of this forum sourced me a Cartier a few years back with a decent discount.

I just did a search for Dominic Hackett watches. Unfortunately (or not) Malwarebytes came back saying not to proceed to his website.

There did seem to be more than one Hackett watches site; I presume it is the one in Hatton Garden?

I'm asking (and apologies OP) as I am after the same watch for my wife.

Looks like a Tank Must. I might be purchasing one through Onaro later this year and they offered circa 10% discount.

DomH is his poster name & there are many posts about satisfactory dealings with him.

Tank...so named because that's what happens to the value if bought at RRP.

Fantastic, beautiful watches, but those in the know seem to get up to 25% discount and never pay retail.
I'm not in the know.

That's worth knowing!

If your friend travels to Japan, its the cheapest place to buy 2nd hand, if she wants to save a wedge of cash

If you’ve not already bought, I would suggest actually buying in Switzerland. When I bought my wife’s Tank the prices in CHF seemed to be the lowest versus other markets and the dealer (small multi-brand place in Geneva) was happy to give an extra 5% off.
