luv2cruzuk Posted June 28, 2020 #1 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Hi Everyone, Does anyone know if the dedicated Breitling store is still on the Silhouette? Many Thanks, David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted June 28, 2020 #2 Share Posted June 28, 2020 It was there in the past, but what was there formerly may not be when the ships start sailing again. I wouldn’t count on much being the same as it was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouhunter Posted June 28, 2020 #3 Share Posted June 28, 2020 We were onboard late 2017, maybe there was one but I don't recall seeing it. Thanks for starting a thread that isn't about covid or cancellations!😋 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinboy Posted June 28, 2020 #4 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I'm pretty sure it was in December 2019. It's across the hall from the jewelry store where they sell " previously loved " Rolex watches to old men with " much " younger women. Never mind what I was thinking -- She even gave him a kiss !!

39august Posted June 28, 2020 #5 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I was also on Silly in December '19 and I believe the store was there as noted above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Georgia_Peaches Posted June 28, 2020 #6 Share Posted June 28, 2020 If you're talking about the area just across from the World Class Bar, then yes, it is still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkWiltonM Posted June 28, 2020 #8 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I was on Silhouette in March and there was a Breitling store. And a dedicated Cartier watch store as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl94 Posted June 28, 2020 #9 Share Posted June 28, 2020 My advice would be to only buy from an authorised retailer in your home country. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edinburghgirl1 Posted June 28, 2020 #12 Share Posted June 28, 2020 There was definitely a Breitling shop in March 2019 however if you’re sailing in Caribbean there may be better deals in port. Plus if you buy onboard customs are advised of your purchase and the duty will be due to be paid on embarkation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipeeinthepool Posted June 29, 2020 #13 Share Posted June 29, 2020 It was still there when I got off on March 6, 2020. Who knows what will exist in the future. I've never seen anyone in those shops, I wonder how many watches they sell per cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luv2cruzuk Posted June 29, 2020 Author #14 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Ok thanks... the last time I was on Silhouette, I bought one. It was £2k cheaper than buying in the UK. I'm sure they sell a fair few... if they didn't sell any, they wouldn't keep the stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edinburghgirl1 Posted June 29, 2020 #15 Share Posted June 29, 2020 My husband has also bought a watch on board at a considerable saving In the past. Last March on the Silhouette however the salesman told us they don’t sell as much on Caribbean Itineraries as there are better bargains on shore than they can offer so they don’t earn as much commission. They were all hoping to move to European sailings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just turn around and walk away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found if I wear an Omega or Hublot into the stores in the Caribbean they are very nice and pleasant to deal with 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
