£1000 in Dubai, what will that get me??

[silverback mike]

As above really, would an Omega Seamaster come in at that price?

Just wondering how good the duty free is. I like the seamaster, but with a black face.

Are there any other similar watches that look the same that are any good?

Thanks in advance

Mike

Mike,

I go to Dubai quite often with work. I'm back there in a few weeks. The last time I checked the prices were no cheaper than back home in the UK. You might save a little bit but not a lot.

That would buy you about 40 genuine seamasters at the Karama market .

I picked up a brand new IWC schaffhausen for about $40 ....an amazing price for such a premium brand

...and some brand new Diesel jeans for 15 quid

You'd be best off emailing the Heathrow shops.

Dubai is a Joke. It was good in the late 70's and every early 80's

to be honest the Uk is very cheap for many things

Frankfurt is a great airport for watches

A big diamond, if my mate's fiancées rock is anything to go by.

Thanks Folks, guess the df thing isn't as good there then.

Even if travelling back within the EU?

I was there 3 weeks ago and with the exchange rate where it is the omegas were coming out more than you can buy them here!!!

[traffman]

I was there 2 weeks ago and i bloody well forgot to pop over to the karama market.

To be honest there was nothing cheaper there than you can purchase here.

Just purchase a watch at whatever airport your going through .

I purchased a Seamaster from Mappin and Webb in T5 Heathrow .

I paid 1183.00 for it but since then its up to 1250.00 there.

I'll have a good look in the airport, sounds like a good plan.
