    Hi guys

    I will travel next week to Italy and was wondering if you had any recommendations in Milan for vintage watch shops!

    Thanks :)

    Do you have shop suggestions in Milan, or are you just stopping by to comment on someone’s use of tense? English is not everyone’s first language, and that’s not a bad thing. And certainly doesn’t make them any less of a watch lover.

    I actually stopped by to see what shops people were recommending in Milan. And then came across your very helpful response.

    Indeed. Do hope some good suggestions come out of this thread, was in Milan last year and ended up in some shops by the Duomo. Great window shopping, but overpriced tourist traps! Good luck.

    You can go on Chrono24 and search by location. You may find some interesting dealers located in Milano. Just a tip, and the offers are usually better in person ;)

    Enjoy your trip!

    I'll agree with that. I didn't try negotiating, but I would concur that tag prices were a bit high in the shops I visited.

    I've not been, can't wait to go, I've had two business trips there aborted. What I've heard from first hand accounts is that caveat emptor is the operative advice. Watch for prices, redials and franken. If you hunt UG, be especially cautious. That said there are good shops there because this is Italy, where collecting has been going on longest. So danger and opportunity!
