    There are 17 places in the world by the name of Perth. How many do you plan to travel to, or is there a particular place?

    don't bother if it's Perth in WA.

    unless you know someone who deals at some of the markets then nobody sells vintage from B&M.

    Thank you for the spontaneous response but Perth would refer to Australia. heading to Margret River as well =)

    No luck with west oz then.

    Forget the watches, drink plenty of the regions best wine and beer instead

    Perth is a horological desert. LewisWatchco is the only flower in this horological desolation.

    Keep your eye out on gumtree while you're there. I see a 'deal' pop up every now and again but am on the wrong side of the country to go check it out.

    The op shops are always a chance, the staff are better informed than the AD's !

    Nobody ever means the one in Canada of anything though, if someone says "Wow London was so amazing to visit" they mean the UK, not Canada, same for Perth. If someone says "man that young wussy looking singer really has an incredible amount of talent" they're talking about Ed Sheeran from the UK, not Beiber, its never the Canadian one.

    Ahh yes, but when they're talking about the Mounties they're talking about the Canadian ones, not the ones from Egypt

    Trev, in his pre-Australia service days.
