I was flying out of gatwick (South) yesterday. Arrived some time in advance and so had some time to look around the shops...

I went in suspecting the usual high prices, but must say I was amazed to see very good tag prices on the usual selection (Zenith, Omega, Breitling etc.).

To the point, where I was tempted by the Omega 300m SMP Chrono. Well known EU online dealers offer this at well over the 4000 GBP mark (incl. VAT), while the tag at Gatwick was saying 3,400 GBP!

How does this work? If I am flying in from there to Malta (EU), would I only pay sticker price (exempt from Tax)?!

Any advice, from people who made purchases there, are very welcome.
