I bought a 114060 there 18 months ago (shop in the first photo) and got 10% discount. They also gave me a lovely book on the history of the bridge and Rolex.
It was when the £ was very strong against the € so I did well. Those times seem long gone. |

Been there. My cousin is a cop in Florence. 3 years ago the place was robbed in broad daylight.

I was there in the summer... just for a look/see was all, during a couple of hours free time. And the Panerai boutique of course

When I was there a couple of years ago, the only thing I could really think about was how much the rent must be at that location.

You get no discount as a tourist in location such as Ponte Vecchio ;)

Florence is beautiful, the art, history and architecture. Oh and the food, even had some amazing Indian food.
The boutiques were a nice surprise. To see all those brands would take a bit of driving around in Los Angeles. We had lunch at the restaurant a couple of doors down from the Panerai boutique, the kids look at the boutique, then me, my wife says, "go ahead, I'll order for you." Seeing some of the rarer models in person was great. |
