hey guys going on a cruise in March and my birthday just passed, gonna be stopping at st. thomas and st. martiin, told my wife no gift will make me happier ofcourse than a new watch so anyone know a good shop to visit.  Considering a Ball watch, or maybe a Glycine, or anything else that catches my eye (including your suggestions, trying to stay under $1000) something with rubber strap.  thanks for your helpwoohoo.gif

Email this guy, I visit him everytime I go to st. thomas

jsharma@beverlysvi.com

His name is Nishant Khiani, tell him your coming to town, His dad owns a few jewelry stores on the Island, You really will have no problem finding watches.

Fight them to the bone for the bottom line price!

How many days what cruiseline and what Ports will you be stopping in?

If your going to be stopping in Grenada or Domenica, let me know, I have family there and I can set you up with a private driver for the day to tour the Island at a Fantastic Cost.

Cheers

thx all nice but the oris is 40.5mm too small i think, looking for 42mm and up, glycine is in the running  i could pick up a combat sub auto on rubber strap for $499 on ebay anytime, gonna check out the islands though and see what catches my eye.

On one of the other forums someone mentioned he bought an Alpina in St. Marteen...I'd shoot for this...but that's just me.:)

Man I went to st.thomas this past june on carnival. They have AWESOME prices on watches. There was this shop that had at least 100 or more Rolies. You could get the black sub with date for $3700 cash! Good luck! And like was said before-haggle to the bone for the right price. Walk away-they'll offer a lower price.ThumbsUp02.gif
