Yes, if they even have them in the store :heh:

Any specific model you want to get?

I haven't been to dubai in forever. But I remember in 2013 or so they had endless air dwellers at the airport. That's my dream watch. But I dont got 30k to blow on a watch. Probably a submariner or day date. All stainless blue dial for the submariner. Or all stainless or all yellow for the day date. Something that wont drop in value.

Sky-Dweller is $14800 retail. White dial Sky-Dweller is going for 16k and blue dial is 22k on second hand market:heh:

I walked into Rolex boutique a couple of months ago and they didn't have anything in steel in there. There was a bunch of Chinese tourists in there buying diamond studded datejusts by handful.

So good luck finding anything in Dubai :francis:

Yo, what's y'alls experience with Jomas Shop? Might make my next purchase there or with an eBay watch seller that has 99%+ positive reviews

I never used Jomashop but I researched em and they seem legit. However, I wouldn't buy preowned w/o original box, papers and a solid warranty.

My Breitling Navitimer A1330. Got it to celebrate finishing my MBA.
Currently its at an AD for service/repair. Talmbout it could take up to 4 months, they gotta send it to Switzerland blah blah :rudy:
That said, i was looking at the new Navitimers and they're absolutely terrible.
Breitling may be going down the shytter brehs.

Damn. So might as well buy a new one from duty free in dubai or some shyt for best price huh?

There are no stainless models in Dubai unless u bundle. Unfortunately bundling in Dubai requires u to buy like 40-50k before u get a SS at retail.

Best shop is to bundle in a smaller dealer in the states.

For someone looking to get into a cheap mechanical timepiece. I Wanted to spotlight the sistem51 from Swatch (yes swatch).

I bought my wife this one as a B-Day gift
