What do you think guy's ? Worth considering a vacation and pay a visit to an AD in Istanbul?

rominvicta · 15 August 2018, 06:11 AM

Surely they addapt prices in evry 60 minutes interval and most likely even prices are quoted either in SFR or EUR. So hope of getting a bargain should be left behind. But on the other hand most of other prices, especially food and all local goodies should be extremely affordable for anyone whose income is not in Turkish lira.

Gimoozaabi · 15 August 2018, 06:23 AM

I was thinking the same thing. Yes, at AD the prices will be adjusted as they are tied to the EUR or USD but perhaps it is different at the brick and mortar and greys?

Any suggestions for a good watch stores to visit in Antalya or whereabouts?

There is no Rolex AD in Antalya as I found out last year.

Whatever inventory exists has probably been depleted. Did you see the lines at the luxury boutiques? Out the door.

antoflo · 15 August 2018, 06:54 AM

I was there last year and ADs price Rolex in Euro.
No deal due to turkish lira devaluation

Not interested in visiting AD, I was thinking about shops with vintage Rolex and Tudor on display.

Any tips will be appreciated for such places in Antalya.

I made a huge deal yesterday on an Omega Moonwatch by paying in Turkish Lira but no chance for Rolex.

I have a quite good standing with the local AD. If I am buying new it would be through them. Received 116610LV after a month and 1/2 wait. I believe it is not that bad. ;-)

Any tips for Antalya second hand stores carrying Rolex/Tudor will be appreciated.

Off topic but I thought I’d see a picture of Turkey upon opening this thread. Not the Country, but actual turkey.

Maybe it’s because I’m roasting some turkey legs at the moment and it smells great.

Sorry for the detour - it just struck me funny

LOL Murica. On topic: no, rich Arabs are shopping like crazy over there, atm.

HogwldFLTR · 15 August 2018, 09:19 AM

I guess I'll have to wait to Thanksgiving for my shot.

10XRolex · 15 August 2018, 12:16 PM

I thought the same. Then I flashed back to the last time I was in Istanbul at the local AD. They had next to nothing in the case. I literally mean next to nothing.

Etschell · 15 August 2018, 12:19 PM

let's not talk turkey let's eat turkey.

GreatScott · 15 August 2018, 09:41 PM

I predict lots of datejusts but no sports models. So good luck.

beshannon · 15 August 2018, 09:54 PM

A true WIS

The country is in utter turmoil but he wants to go watch shopping.

Good luck

Fat_ninja · 15 August 2018, 09:58 PM

Has it actually gotten bad on the ground there?

Sorry, I jumped to a conclusion that you were were referring to warfare/terrorism. That was my fault.

Yeah, the economy hasn’t been great for ages there.

Eric-London · 16 August 2018, 03:42 AM

Guys, as someone who's traded in Turkey for 20 or so years, I can tell you most high value products, inc cars, properties etc are priced in USD and Euro.

It has always been this way, which is one of the reasons they're suffering. There are many but this is not the place to discuss.

Tampashooter · 16 August 2018, 03:47 AM

A) Who here thought that luxury goods in Turkey would be tied to the Lira?

B) Can anyone over there find me one of these? Its amazing that all these birds make it here every year from Turkey. The logistics are astounding.

Most on this thread apparently.

We should all go to Turkey and wait in hotels for a few months until we can buy new subs for $35 USD.

You have a better chance of buying the hotel for $35.

Last time I checked, light convo on the economics within Turkey were not banned here, but thanks.

What about going to US? While Trump is in office? If they weren’t so different physically I would have said both came as twins out.
