Congratulations to your sister. Sorry though, I don't know much about watch places in Germany. Have fun on your trip anyway.

Congrats on your sister getting married.

Can't think of any watch fairs, but there sure are a lot of good AD's in Germany and Zurich, so you would have plenty of opportunity to see (and take pics of) a lot of Rolex watches.

Have a nice stay!

Zurich is second only to Geneva. Take a deep breath and walk down the Bahnhofstrasse. You'll be fine. Just clear your credit card before you head over.

If you have a swiss banker, chances are you'll get a corporate discount of 7-10%.

not certain about watches, but your purchase(s) should be eligible for VAT refund to the seller, so be sure to ask what the VAT on them is, before negotiating.

surprisingly, when i was into Breitlings, i found they were more expensive in switzerland - one jeweler was real nice guy (up in schaffhausen) and when i showed him a copy of ad from local AD here in states, he actually got into an argument with his breitling rep on the phone - so the old axiom, salt isn't always cheaper at the salt mine may play into the reality you encounter. believe it was part of brietling's marketing plan, controlling market prices, by making them higher in switzerland - and that may only have been breitling so ....

Buying Rolex from Zurich much cheaper?

Hello,

I have visited most of the natural places, Actually, I don't have any idea what type of place you love to visit. But I'll suggest you go to California there's a lot of places to visit for couples. There's one of the most beautiful valleys I have visited such as Conejo Valley and all.
Thank you!
