Going to Geneva today

I shall be in Geneva today......shall I bother checking the ADs?

Would I be in any luck for a Pepsi or a Daytona? I know.....almost sounds like a dumb question these days.
I wouldn’t want to waste time as there are nice World cup games today. ��

PS: 2 of my friends are expecting me to come back with a Tudor pepsi for each one of them. I just laughed.
But if the planets allign and I buy 3 watches, I shall get a call from the bank asking me “was your credit card stolen by any chance?”

Good luck. When I was there in February, the Rolex inventory was worst than the US.

I did the rounds yesterday. No SS sport watches except the usual suspects: Milgauss, Explorers I and II and Airkings at Bucherer Rue du Rhone.

However, I saw 2 Tudor Pepsi's. One bracelet variant at Chrono-Time on Rue de la Fontaine and one on the fabric strap at Kurz on Rue de la Confederation. Really liked it on the fabric.

Hope this helps and happy hunting!

Chrono Time on rue de la Fontaine. It’s the one shop in the world that’s actually owned by Rolex.

I was there earlier this month - not much stock... so I visited the "Breguet boutique" (40 Rue du Rhone) and tried on an XXI... and bought it upon my return to Australia.
It's a nice addition to my collection...
Good luck in your search...

cheers

Your answer shall be, yes, yes it was...

Enjoy the World Cup games, they only happen every 4 years so take advantage and look at watches after!

I was there last month and had zero luck but you never know! I did see a Tudor GMT while in Zermatt and have been kicking myself for not picking it up then but it looks like they're rolling them out pretty quick here in the US. You might also keep your eye out for the Tudor Bronze Blue "Bucherer Special Edition." Safe travels!

Must well enjoy the World Cup games, this year it has been very unpredictable from my point of view.

Say hello to the staff at Chrono Time for me. My red sub was purchased there many moons ago.
