Currently in Dubai in a hotel with a well known watch dealer having a shop in the lobby.

I've just bought pre price increase a Rhodium dial YM , I made an enquiry about the same and he used an artificially high exchange rate which came in at £9.5 k and without prompting offered to nett it down to £8.5k

Bearing in mind assuming being honest enough to declare it would add another 20% to the price paid , surely that rules out anyone buying in the Emirates ?

He had a good selection of SS sports in stock , never saw or asked about the new Daytona though.

Just thought it might help someone make their mind up in the future.

I viewed a Deepsea and a Sub at Bahrain airport recently - both over UK list after conversion - as they're tied to the dollar there's been a large currency hit.
