London / Paris

[bluecar]

I am heading to London & Paris and was wondering which watch brand or watch shop should I go to? Looking at brands like Pam or Rolex or maybe Omega or IWC, if they are much cheaper than SG?

Apart from watches, do you know which factory outlet to go to for branded clothes/goods?

Sorry this is my first trip to UK, and have no idea which brands are worth looking into.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Paris has a branch of Wempe as does London. This AD does stock Rolex as well as many others. In Paris around Place Vendome there is a really nice AD- Dubail. There is also a branch of Bucherer.

Hello Praha, thank you. Is Rolex price there good? Which watch brand do you think it's worth looking at?

Hi anymore advice pple?

Price wise for Rolex , Italy offers the best value as there is a high net VAT and their dealers are willing to discount substantially.

Never bought a watch there before but remember to head to the airport preferably 3 hours in advance - there will be a queue to claim back the VAT and it took me an hour when I was there in December a couple of years ago.

Was in London few weeks back and Harrods having summer sale. Surprise to see many model Hublot Red Magic, Divers have 50% discount... It's has a lot of brand and model under 1 roof...

If your going to Europe how about including Switzerland. I got a great deal a few years back on a Rolex. Cheap flights from London or Paris or even take the Train (super fast).

Bro, able to share where you got yours from? I'll be in Switzerland/Paris next month and plan on getting my first Rollie while in Europe if prices are good.

Thanks!

Been to Ilaty and looking for Rolex. From Rome to Florence to Venice to Milan, i look for Rolex shops. In Milan itself there is 3 within walking distance to each other. With Vat refund still not worth buying locally. Maybe the sport model i am looking for is notdiscounted. End up buying channel and lv and gucci and prata bags gor jy other half.

bags,
