Anyone bought from Barbados Airport?

Last time I was in Barbados (2001!) I picked up an Omega Seamaster which has stayed with me til earlier this year when I moved it on due to lack of use. I may be back there at the end of Feb and wondering if anyone has bought from there recently, were there any good savings over the UK prices, and how did you get the box and papers back over to the UK once in the airport?

If anyone has any recommendations for non-airport Dealers (Rolex) then please let me know.

Thanks for your help

I was there a year ago. Didn't see any luxury goods shops. The Missus took five minutes to browse and pronounce it all "rubbish". Better off buying in Bridgetown.

Holetown is much better than Bridgetown ... The airport is crap

Yes, brilliant, bottle of Navy Rum (with a box) and a very decent saving over the UK price. As to watches, then I'd be inclined to use a different name before asking the world if you can get away with it. Alternatively go the whole hog and put your flight number down so we can all see if HMCE read watch forums.
