    Good luck, there was bugger all worth buying last time I went so I ended up coming home with a fistful of dollars, annoyingly.

    I am hoping there is nothing there to be honest but let's see. I am a sucker for convincing myself and the Mrs it's better to stick the cash into a watch and have some fun rather than leaving it in the bank. If it seems like I won't lose much/anything then I may pull out the card. Will report back with what I can see

    Gassan can always pull stock from the Dam store if there's something in particular you want, then you pick it up on your way back through.

    No hulks for me but it is very tempting. The blue datejust with the White gold bezel is lovely!

    Checked and that is a big NO from Gassan unfortunately. Luck of the draw as to what is here and they won't tell you over the phone to stop people getting cheap flights over just to buy.

    Looks like decent prices on omegas - the SM300 is about 300 cheaper than iconic presuming you don't get hit with a bad exchange rate / commission etc

    Interesting. I only suggested that because they offered to do that for me on a JLC Master UT a few years ago. I didn't take them up on the offer in the end.
    Guess times have definitely changed. That was in the main store though, not the Rolex boutique.

    Yep it was the main store I checked with as the Rolex boutique is before you go through passport control

    I was thinking the same - I had the original GV but may have to look at one of these in the not too distant future

    They supposedly get there Rolex delivery near the end of the month so maybe more stock in when you fly out!

    have you checked out the aqua terra?

    There were a few aquaterra's in but they are not something I would go for. The blue dial date just 2 is winning at the moment

    Get the pale face please. If you have money left over I am sure you will find a good use for it.

    Of course! Didn't realise it was 18k gold so there's a bonus. Will residuals be crap on it though? Mrs already has her eye on it.
