Casio G Shock

[DubaiJohn]

To feed my developing watch fetish I fancy adding a G Shock to the (small but perfectly formed) collection. Anybody seen anywhere in Dubai/Abu Dhabi that actually sells them?

Carrefour in MOE used to do them but have inexpeciably stopped doing them.

Dubai Duty Free has a reasonable selection. Also pricing is reasonable (contrary to everything else in Dubai). Call them before you travel to check if they have what you're looking for in stock - they can usually order it in if you ask sufficiently in advance.

Is that the large building by the airport? Always wondered what that was!

There's a Casio shop in Lamcy PLaza, Oud Metha.

I got my Trek there and bought a coupld of G-Shocks as gifts - seem to have the best range I've seen in Dubai - must have over 100 different models

Sorry I meant DDF in the airport itself which is not very helpful (bit presumptuous of me to assume everyone travels frequently! ). The big building is just the warehouse I think.

Asterix clearly knows his watches.

Good work that man, PH to the rescue. Will head off down there next week.

Guilty - Have a soft spot for and an empty bank account thanks to watches - didn't help that I got the missus hooked as well

Same here, just splurged on a Panerai so thought the next watch better be relatively cheaper.

Hour choice also sells a limited range.

I believe that Jumbo is the 'official' Casio dealer but have more in the way of calculators and cameras than G-Shocks.

The shop in Lamcy is widely known to have the best selection in town though.

Ian, the thread is 18 months old!

The g-shock collection @ the airport ran to about 20 models when I bought mine in July if that is of any use to the random bumper.

Didn't know about the Lamcy shop so it was worth bumping for me!

[DubaiJohn]

Holy thread resurrection Batman!

I have also added a couple of G Shocks to my Amazon wishlist so hopefully Santa will ignore my behaviour this year.

but i think at DDF much cheaper, what you say ??

[rickybouy]

I think the price will be similar if honest, why not go and try them at lamcy then give the others a call and see how the price differs?
