Hi,

I am going on holiday in May to Barbados and wondered if anyone knows what is the price difference,roughly,between buying a decent watch here or there?

(in % terms on someting like a Tag,Omega,Tissot ect)

I find the chaps walking up and down the beaches and the ones selling in the markets are cheapest.

Someone may have some more recent info but going back a few years, I tried to get the olds to do the honours & it wasn't really all that much different to what you might feasibly achieve here (but with the slight hassle of wearing the watch home and the box & papers being mailed separately).
Somewhere in the region of 20% IIRC - i.e. the VAT, give or take.
