Travel: Watch hopping in Geneva with my 'Shadow'
Hi All,
I am right now in Geneva exploring watches. Do let me know your favorite boutiques or second-hand watch stores that I must visit in the comments.
Cheers,
Shadow

Got to the Patek boutique. Don’t be afraid to ask about the historic building. I was given a tour around the floors and had a lovely chat with one of the assistants there. I mentioned in passing that I was off to see the Patek Museum later that afternoon and he gave me and my GF a pair of complimentary tickets!
Hey @Chunghauphoto: Thanks for the suggestion. I will surely make a visit to the Patek boutique and the museum :)

@diabhey No worries. At the museum, there are free tours everyday at certain times - depending on your language preference (check which one suits you). Private tours are available for an additional fee. Hope you enjoy!
Great watch and taking mental notes of your trip. How’s the finish on the watch handling the wear and tear of travel?
@Justin Sorry for the late reply. I haven't rested my watch since I bought it and it has been quite a joy to wear. I wear it every single day and there are literally no signs of wear/tear yet. fingers crossed
@diabhey just booked a trip to Geneva for my 40th. Any suggestions/ recommendations?
Hey @Brandonmclark, I am sorry for the late reply. I had been on a hiatus and just logged in after ages. How did your trip go?
