I wish I could answer that question but unfortunately I'm here for work so I can only stop by after 5 PM, and for some reason even though Rolex Hellas is located at Syntagma Square, which is prime real state and super busy in the evenings, they think it's a great idea to close at 5 PM.

Don't know first hand, but a lot of grey watches sold in Europe are from Greece. So I think you can negotiate a good deal

Yeah, I covered most of it with my hand. And yes, they are making progress on removing the scaffolding, although not sure if they did anything before removing it.

Took the Magic Bus between London and Athens a few times in the 1980s. Greece was so cheap back then. Paros, Naxos, Rhodes. Great times.

Made it to Paxos. Low season. There are like 100 people in the island. Every beach was deserted and beautiful.

Here's a shot before dinner in Gaios:
