I don't think Dubai really has any watch stores, I think you are out of luck

You will need to look really hard to find watch stores in Dubai.

You can’t swing a chicken without hitting a watch store in Dubai.
Any mall or shopping district.

Dubai Watch Store

Yes, great stores, but no watches.

Worth visiting main boutique though if only to take elevator to private lounge and seeing the Explorer “circle” and other horological items.

Hi , there are watch stores in Dubai of course , stock is the problem. As far as “ grey market” goes a good few of those too. I purchase just last week from one ( 126300 / Azzurro Blue) that I trust and came recommended. They are based in the gold and diamond Park and I’m happy to share the detail just ping me DM.

Also a few around the Gold Souk which I have heard mixed views about.

If you go to DIFC there is Momentum (vintage), Watchbox plus another grey dealer store in one place.

You are then only a short distance from Dubai Mall where you have your pick of pretty much any brand you could think of. I particularly like the Lange store and also the MAD Gallery.

Don't bother with Rolex. Seriously. They are often dismissive and the last time I went extremely rude. And thats as an existing customer.

Patek has a nice salon. They had the pilot calatravas I wanted to try on last time. And the people at ALS are great if you want to look at those.

I was there on vacation this past November ‘21 and the Dubai stores are all cleaned out of course due to the sheer volume of tourists and high spend clients. Same with AP etc.

I will say that in Abu Dhabi, they had a Rolex boutique that actually had a bunch of smaller sized gold/TT watches IN STOCK. Things like palm dial etc. I was surprised because most ADs are cleaned out.

I almost pulled the trigger on a watch for the wife but it wasn’t rose gold so we passed.

Problem is you're trying to swing a chicken. You should be using a dead cat
