How far would you travel to view / buy a watch?

Many years ago I flew from London to Geneva to buy an Orbiter Breitling Emergency. In fairness a friend who lives out there negotiated with the dealer (Kuntz - a name I can't forget). With the cost of the flights etc it was still a lot cheaper.

mrs Goat travelled to New York and picked up my wedding watch...
Went with a friend and made a weekend of it though...

All depends, I'l never be spending megabucks so I don't think I would travel too far. Might drive an hour or two for the right watch at the right price, wouldn't specifically take a flight to another country for one though.
If i was already planning a trip and it happened to coincide with a potential purchase then bully for me, but it wouldn't be solely for the purpose of obtaining a watch.

10hr round trip for a BLNR.

I flew from Dublin to London to buy my PO, much bigger market in the UK and travel is easy (for the moment anyway!). I'd often fly over to buy a car too and jump on the ferry back, all same day.

I have no set distance limit for the right watch, at the right price.

That's the way to do it. Beats buying something you have never seen, nor never tried on and have a worried couple of days worrying about loss in the post.

Sounds crazy but I did contemplate a trip to Tokyo for a rare Autavia... I didn't actually go in the end but if you really really want it, why not.
