Collector(s) in the Caribbean?

[ifeveri]

I'm going on a cruise in Sept. and the POCs are Nassau Bahamas, Charlotte Amalie St. Thomas, and Philipsburg, St. Maarten. Are there any known-solid collectors in any of those places? I'd love to buy a watch while I'm on the trip, and this seems like a great and rare opportunity to maybe see a few different ones in person, and get something nice.

aside: is it hard/worrisome to get such a watch back into the US? I don't know if just wearing it is enough to get by, or...? Any thoughts would be welcome.

I'm not sure about collectors in the area but I bought a gen Tag Aquaracer "Caribbean Edition" in St. Thomas a little over a year ago. It's beautiful!

I was in Saint Thomas / Saint Maarten in February, A couple of shops in Philipsburg had some bad reps, Canal Street stuff. Didn't see anything in St Thomas. Lots of great gen. stuff though.

My cruise is coming up in a few weeks...just thought I'd try once more for feedback.

Thanks!

St Maarten has a Back Street (or was it Front Street) that is packed with stores offering watches & jewelery, I didn't see any reps though

In down town Nassau Bahamas go to the straw market. ALOT of low end automatic rolex and Louis vuitton items...and I mean ALOT

I looked at a dozen reps in Cozumel....all Canal St. junk.....I doubt you will fine any quality reps on the stret or behind the counter at jewelry shops....just my personal behavior.

Peace,
