carus007 23 Posted October 7, 2012 Hi Guys, I went on holiday recently. I discovered a Rep watch shop in Bodrum called 'Watchland' This place was full of all different rep's from Breilting to Gucci! I had a quick word with the owner, He told me that its was ok to take some pictures so I did. Quite a nice guy really but the prices seem very high for lower end 21J watches, Price £90. Anybody who is going or planning a holiday to Turkey or Kos should take a look at this place. Check the pictures out, All the best Russ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungGPS 0 Posted October 7, 2012 What a collection. The cost of the rent for the place probably plays a big role with his pricing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

carus007 23 Posted October 7, 2012 (edited) HA HA wow thats amazing! did you buy anything? Not this time as I have a thing for Swiss Watches at the moment! Been here a few time and he remembered me, Also he told me he send's alot to Uk, He take's Paypal and you can order direct from him. But I would stick with the TD's Edited October 7, 2012 by carus007 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baxter 6 Posted October 7, 2012 Now that's a shop !!! thanks for posting I guess if you didn't know about mov'ts and pricing and hadn't had any access to reps before it would probably seem pretty exciting - especially if you were in the holiday spirit !!

carus007 23 Posted October 7, 2012 Yes I still get quite excited, even though I did not buy anything this time, He has the lot Panerai's etc There is about 5-6 shops on this same street just the same as this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grimmi 1 Posted October 7, 2012 Yeah, it's pretty freaky walking into a shop like that. I remember going into "Bagus Watch" shop in Bali and breaking into a sweat but alas, the same thing... All were pretty dodgy and wouldn't go near them. I did find some good ones in Bangkok at MBK centre but had to talk for a while until they went "out the back" and found the better reps... Still, in a shop like that its easy for your head to spin... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Del 4,518 Posted October 7, 2012 Great shop! As was said above, he'll need to charge more to cover his overheads. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
markeym3 2 Posted October 7, 2012 Nice one just like the shops in marmaris too , you can get some nice pieces but also some horrors Too , I get excited too when you look around , where do you stay ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carus007 23 Posted October 7, 2012 Nice one just like the shops in marmaris too , you can get some nice pieces but also some horrors Too , I get excited too when you look around , where do you stay ? We normally stay in Kos, Greece! We just come over on the boat for the day, it only take's about 20 mins. I have stayed in Turkey before but found the hassle from most shop owners is a pain in the arse, Shame as it's a nice country. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
markeym3 2 Posted October 7, 2012 I know what you mean , I have a house there in a small village by the sea called Akyaka not touristy very nice way of life but nice to go to marmaris to look around at times , yes it's a nice country , nice people . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gez45 0 Posted October 7, 2012 I know what you mean , I have a house there in a small village by the sea called Akyaka not touristy very nice way of life but nice to go to marmaris to look around at times , yes it's a nice country , nice people . We usually stay in Icmeler which is a short drive from Marmaris, and I always go for a walk around the bazaar in Marmaris. Whilst most of the watches are ok as daily beaters it's still exciting to see all the shops with hundreds of watches on display. If you get talking to the owners they usually have a briefcase tucked away somewhere with more expensive watches in for the more "discerning" watch fan, they were very very interested and complimentary when they saw the 390 and 219 that I got from ToroI that I had with me, I'll be back next year for another fix Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Breitling selection seems to be a bit poor which is a shame , Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
