Browsing watches on Hawaii

Just got back from Hawaii and had a blast.


Went to a couple of ADs and browsed watches of course.

1. Ben Bridge in Ala Moana Center, Oahu
Wonderful service, knowledgeable staff, and huge inventory (especially Daytonas)

2. Rolex Boutique on Kalakaua Ave, Oahu
Again excellent service, knowledgeable staff, and decent inventory

Not surprising, Oahu Rolex ADs gave me the red carpet treatment. Very service oriented.



3. Barron Leeds in Whalers Village, Maui
Nothing exceptional (good or bad) to say.

4. Barron Leeds in Shops at Wailea, Maui
Pushy sales...and this made me laugh.
"If you buy a WG GMT, then you will be allowed to buy a SS Daytona."

5. Honolulu Time near Ala Moana Center, Oahu
Nice selection of used watches.

6. Omega on Kalakaua Ave, Oahu
Sales lady was pleasant...but manager seemed rude and condescending.

7. 3rd floor Duty Free Shop, Oahu
Hit or miss.


Thought this information might be useful.
I also took some pics of my watch on Big Island. Will post later.

Went to both of these while in Honolulu, I was treated very well. With their low sales tax, I should have bought something and saved thousands.
