Watch shopping in Madrid - photo heavy
Firstly, sorry for the quality of many of the photos. It's really hard to get a camera phone to take a decent photo in strong sunlight, through glass into a lit display case.
We spent a few days wandering around Madrid last week while I tried to talk the wife into a Rolex for her 40th. Long and short of it, I realised I was bullying her into something I wanted her to like, not what she likes. So she's sticking with Rado and CK, giving me more budget for myself! Random widow shots. |

This Vacheron really caught my eye, but the staff just weren't that interested:
I thought this was nice too, but it isn't really my thing: A couple tried on by the wife and a TT bluesy I tried: Some wrist shots: So, what did I buy? You'll have to wait for me to post the incoming! |

To be honest, as they're out of my price range at the moment, I didn't really notice.

This thread reminds if me of watch shopping in Japan. If you're ever in Tokyo, it is a treat. For some reason in Japan there is an aversion to pre-owned watches (or so I heard). Second hand stores are flush with displays similar to the ones shown in this thread.

I agree with Vman. There is a building in Tokyo where a shop called Jack Road is located and there are LOTS of great watches all jammed in like in your pics.
Talk about spoiled for choice! Also there is a chain of stores called Bic Camera in Japan which sell brand new only but in incredible range and numbers. I've got to get to Madrid sometime! |
