·I’m going to Florence next month and wondered if anyone had recommendations about where to go to check out watches. I heard that the Ponte Vecchio is their jewelry district? Anyway, thanks in advance!

··understands the decision making hierarchyThe Rialto Bridge shops were cool, Vacheron boutique and some upscale stores. Looked at a 30t2 in a jewelry store but 1000 Euros for a damaged dial sent me strolling.

··understands the decision making hierarchyIMO no better place to do that.
Stood there for 20 minutes and got some video.
Italian ladies were spectacular. (I married one, so I can get away with this)

·No deals to be had, but had nice conversation with the staff at the Omega Boutique on Via de' Tornabuoni. I did buy a strap from them.

·Sorry, brain fart, speaking of Ponte Vecchio above.
When we were in Venice in 2012, we were in a tour boat on the Grand Canal, and we went under the Calatrava bridge. I thought that was rather odd, because in Calgary (Canada), we also have a Calatrava bridge! Designed by the same famous designer/architect, Santiago Calatrava. Same guy. Different bridge, different country. Although I must say that our Calatrava bridge doesn’t look anything like the one in Venice. Our Calatrava bridge (aka “Peace Bridge”.)
