Watch shopping in Portugal?

Heading to Portugal next month. Any must see watch dealers to see in Lisbon? I'll also spend a few days in Porto, Sintra, and Salema.

I have a connecting flight in Frankfurt, so I'll check out the rolex boutique there.

Thanks!

I have never shopped for watches in Lisbon, but I wanted to stop by and say it's an awesome, underrated place ! Enjoy

When I last visited, there was a shop almost opposite my hotel carrying among others Patek. They where willing to discount on the Aquanaut 5167! Too bad I didn't buy then. It was on Avenue de Liberdade.

I've heard from numerous friends that Lisbon is an amazing place. Seriously underrated place to go.

Just got back from Portugal two weeks ago. On Avenida da Liberdade there were several stores including a Panerai boutique that I noticed.

Also....

Just outside of Lisbon is a little place called Estoril.

There is a hotel called the Palacio where Ian Fleming was based during the war and came up with James Bond!

A great Rolex nostalgia visit. You can just imagine the smoke filled room with the allies on one side and the German spies on the other. I loved it!!
