I am shortly due to make a trip to South Africa. I was last there 15 years ago and bought my Breitling Colt Ocean there; it was about half UK price at the time.

I am looking at buying something else now, an Omega Speedmaster, maybe. Anyone know what the current duty free SA prices are like compared to the UK please? I guess the exchange rate isn't quite so favourable? I will have to buy at the Johannesburg airport as only a short trip and not going to be near a city for shopping.
