When in Maui check out Baron & Leeds - Barbara Powers is the lady to see there?

I believe there is still a Rolex & Panerai AD in Whaler's Village on Maui. I bought a GMTIIc there several years ago.

Lahaina and Wailea both have the Baron & Leeds outlets...each in the major shopping center area of the resort areas. Nice people, nice selection but from forum postings, not necessarily a lot of discounts.

Kauai? No official AD's. Years ago before the AD purge, a number of NaHoku stores carried Rolex...I was there a few years back when the shutdown began and remaining stock was going for 25% off. But that's history.

Ask for Linda at B & L at Whaler's village. They also have a deal where they give you a gift certificate to a restaurant which in turn gives you a gift certificate back to B & L for $200.00 off the price of an item if you eat there ( I don't remember the name of the restaurant in Lahaina but we saw Apollo Ono there and the fish was fantastic!) . This was 18 months ago so things may have changed; I got a GMTIIc TT. Aloha!

X2. My wife and I stop in every time we are on island. Will be there again in March. We have never bought a watch there but my wife has walked away with some fantastic Mother of Pearl pieces that we felt we received a very good price on.

Like everyone said, the watch prices are not very good but the service is great and they usually have a good selection. The Lahaina (Whaler's) location seems to have more than the Wailea location for some reason.

Baron & Leeds in Lahina, Whaler's Village & Shops at Wailea with the one in Whaler's village having the best selection is my observation. B & L used to have a policy that if you bought from them and later want to upgrade to a higher priced model they will give you a very good trade value on the original purchase; I am not sure if that is still the case.
Happy shopping.

Hop on a plane and fly over to Korea or Hong Kong. You'd save more than the cost of your plane tix and then some.
