BKK airport

I passed through BKK airport yesterday and whilst nothing too exciting they did have some nice DJ pieces. I don't tend to take photos but they had:

- A few new ss 36mm DJ
- Good selection of ss 41mm DJ, including blue and black dials
- OP39 black dial
- TT blue and gold sub
- TT black and gold sub
- TT daytona black dial
- TT daytona black dial with diamond markers
- ss YM 2, white dial

The £ exchange rate is terrible at the moment, 36 baht to the £, which makes the TT daytona black dial without diamonds, about £3k more expensive than the UK!

Yes, it came in the coffin.

The rule was that you had to pay for the watch before they would take it out of the safe. Which I loved, as it meant the watch had never been handled.

I had a chance to buy any of a Hulk, BLNR, black ceramic Daytona, and SD43 at the same time, but was literally running to the gate and just got this one.

That’s impressive given today’s climate and it being at an airport!

I read your post and a few other success stories before dropping by BKK, you’re super lucky! Well done indeed. Extra special feeling that it was untouched too!

I would've skipped my flight to buy the first 3. I went to the King Power AD at BKK airport back in June. There was nothing at all..
