Bond St ! Oh why did I do it....

Well yesterday was meant to be a family day out but as the kids spent 2 hours in Hamleys took a walk down Bond St.

What a bad move, couldn't pick my tongue off the floor way too many nice watches and way too over budget...

Tried on a WG Sub and Daytona among others. Marcus watches window was unbelievable.

Anyway didn't pick up a watch but did get few MB items to match my wallet.

Oh and felt far out of place.

Bond St is a must see in London but guessing most UK members already know this.

Bond St. and Burlington Arcade are a window shoppers paradise. But the prices are not for the faint of heart.

Id have to have a stop at a little place on South Audley St. If I were in the area.

And that is about all I can say.

Yep amazing down Bond St. I'd recommend popping into Selfridges and Harrods as well.

Whenever my wife and I visit London, I always visit Bond Street (to the dismay of my wife). I spend hours there looking at the watches, but the prices are not for the faint of heart!
