Don't know about St Petersburg, but Blowers jewelers is down your neck of the woods and has normally a large selection, welcome to the forum.

I think there is a 90% chance you'll get ripped off in Russia

Know Blowers very well..... have had a couple of older pieces from him in the past. Am not on the hunt for Rolex whilst in Russia though as i really like some of the older Soviet era pieces and have spent today looking in some quite interesting shops. Tomorow looks to be even more promising though as am on the hunt for a Soviet style "Moon Watch" aka as worn by Gagarin appreciate the warning but am not too worried aout being ripped off as I have Olga here to protect me. Pics will be posted of me and my trusty submariner soon.

Those "Commander's" watches used to be popular 20 years ago, and cost $25. Very reliable mechanical movement. I brought one with me, when I moved from Russia, still works fine.
