hello,

I live in the UK and was thinking about where to book my next holiday, I was wondering where would be the best place to go to and also pick up a sub whilst I was away

Any suggestion's?

Thank you

The Bahamas (Nassau).
John Bull usually has just about everything whenever I've been there. Entire sport model range minus the 116500.

Can't help you but will be an interesting thread.

Most will tell you to buy right here in uk.

With the weak pound you will struggle to find a real bargin outside the UK. Also remember to factor into the purchase price the payment of VAT on your return to the UK of any items purchased outside the EU (assuming you are resident in the UK).

Dubai. Stop through DOH on the way for the best sub pricing I've seen recently (as good as trusted seller prices).

Hong Kong can't be beat for window shopping...about 70 ADs and many used and vintage dealers, but the pound is very weak against the HK$ right now. You're guaranteed to find a Sub, though.

Come to Canada, I'll find you a sub

I will - stick to the UK.
Even with increase, prices are still low compared to abroad AND you'd pay VAT when bringing it back to the UK.

So I'd stick to UK - and subs aren't THAT hard to find new

I mean from a trusted seller or AD in Canada to take back with you ��. I would help make a few calls on your behalf. The prices in Canada for a 116610 are around 8.8k used mint, 9.5k bnib grey, 10k from AD. Ballpark figures in Canadian $. Good luck finding a sub and enjoy your vacation.

From an AD in Canada a Sub (no date) has a MSRP of CAD8,550 and a Sub is CAD9,750. A Hulk is CAD10,350 if you can get one.

Hong Konk or Italy

Italy and Greece in Europe and HK seem to have the best prices, but with the weak pound I don't think you can overcome the 20% fall on SS, for a PM maybe it's worth it.

Amex4711 · 1 January 2017, 03:18 AM

with a little bit of luck, you get very good prices in GERMANY, for sure

kelv_w · 1 January 2017, 04:55 AM

I'm in Milan now and I can say UK prices are still cheaper. Most models are roughly about £400 more here.

There're not many professional watches although I did see a green faced daytona. Otherwise it's the usual nondate sub, Sd4000, SD, Milgauss, EXII.

Not seen any BLNR, Hulk, DateSub, ceramic Daytona.
