Does anyone know what the prices in Barbados are of Hulk, BLNR, Tudor GMT, and Pelagos?

GH.Chrono · 6 March 2019, 08:57 PM

Was there back end of last year, with the current value of the pound nothing was cheap over there even with VAT refund. They did have a nice full rose gold GMT which I tried on, but was not in the market for one at the time.

One thing I will say is I did not feel very safe in Bridgetown, was wearing a 116520 at the time.

Barbados is US MSRP. But don't get excited, there's nothing for sale there either.

The Royal Shop had both Black and Blue Pelegos models last time I was there (about 2 months ago) but nothing else on your list.

I think the days of Caribbean watch deals are mostly gone--unless you are looking for Frederick Constant or something like that.

I was in Barbados, St Martin and St Barths in January. Same situation as the US.
St Barths had the biggest selection of watches I've seen anywhere BUT no SS sport watches. Must have been well over 100 watches in the cases. Just none most of us are looking for.

I brought a NOS explorer II 16570 from the royal shop about four years ago and got a good deal on it. At that time, they had a ss gmt, sub and a SD all sitting in the case......oh how times have changed!!!

Oh, thanks, that's good to know. I was thinking of putting my Sub date on a strap and wearing that. Thoughts?

Barabados is US MSRP? Not excited. Blue Pelagos is nice. But not at MSRP. ADs pay 55% of MSRP for Tudors, right? If they would give me 25% off it would still leave them with 20% profit! I would have a hard time paying MSRP for a Pelgos knowing how much it drops right out of the gate.

I was at the Royal Shop yesterday and had nothing in SS in stock. The same old story the watch are sold before they get in display.
