Landing in Zurich in 6 hours. What are my chances of picking up a Submariner or GMT at/below retail from an AD? Will also be in Lucerne.

Switzerland is like the most expensive place to buy a watch at retail and your chances that they are even in stock are low.

Yeah France is 20% VAT and believe price is 8500EUR, so still much better than Switzerland pricing.

But as mentioned - will be difficult to find these pieces to even buy.

Stores were all closed today in Zurich. Will be heading over to Bucherer first thing tomorrow and will report back

Any better chance in Vienna, Budapest, or Paris?

Budapest has some impressive stores, but not sure of current stock, but like EY1 mentioned above it’ll be unlikely you find anything for the models you mentioned

Looks like you have wifi - start emailing every AD and their brothers. Good luck on your search. Do report back if you get lucky. Itll be cheaper to fly there instead of dealing with the flippers.

No chance in vienna. Only locals get high demand pieces

Zero I went to Rolex stores across Switzerland last week. From Zurich to Geneva I couldn’t find one. They suggested going to Norway where the demand is less but the supply is the same

The Swiss but Rolexes in Italy because the prices are lower and there’s great availiblity, so you’re shit out of luck...

Went in to check compare sizes for an Aqua Terra (green dial) but now torn between that and Moonwatch Sapphire (manual wind but the case in the back is just 😍)

Surprisingly the Moonwatch felt smaller (even though it’s 42mm vs 41mm Aqua terra) but I’m not sure about the manual wind tbh - worried I’d break it

This is going to be my main watch for the next 20+ years so I want to make sure I pick correctly!

What would you pick and why?

I’m obviously not buying him a watch for his birthday (in his dreams!) but any idea for some good accessories? He’s already got a PP watch winder, and has bought multiple nice straps for the dress watches. I’m completely lost.
