Germany or Italy

Next month I will be in Italy and Germany.

It appears that I actually have a 22 hour layover in Berlin. Is it worth looking for a watch here, or are the deals much better in Italy?

My shopping list is currently down to a 39 mm OP or a 116400gv.

Thoughts?

If you want the best price, you buy from AD in Europe.
Trusted sellers can't even get close.

Italy for sure, but buy from AD only.
In Italy you can discuss about price, Germans are not used to that

Italy would be your best bet. Stick to smaller cities and towns, away from the tourist trail, and you can find ADs that will sell for quite a bit less than the sellers here.
