Advice on watch shopping in South Korea
I might be going to Seoul, South Korea in a few months, and I'm considering buying a watch there as a souvenir.
Does anyone have watch shopping advice, like interesting watches, brands, or watch stores to check out? Also, I just learned of the Korean microbrand Pitzmann and would love to take one home, but where in Korea can I buy one?

You can look for Romanson watches. But I have no Idea in which store.
Oddly, I think I’m going to Korea this summer and was wondering the same thing. I’ve looked online but haven’t seen anything I liked.
I guess it depends on where you go. Which city are you planning to visit?

I will mostly be touring Seoul and Busan.
It depends on what you looking for. But in Ab gu jeong, they have few preowned shops. Also if you go to big mall. They have all watch brands. If you can get tax return for them i think it might be a good chance!

Is that around the Gangnam area? I might tour the area when we visit the COEX Mall, so I'll be sure to have a look!
yes. it is in Gangnam. if you can tell me what do you want to do or try or buy I think I can help more
Honestly I'm hoping I could find a watch that will strongly remind me of Korea. So if I could see some Korean micro brands in person, that would be ideal. Otherwise it will be nice to browse the used market to see if there are unique finds.
I strongly recommend Pitzmann2. Yes I bought them. Unfortunately, as I known there is no boutique you can visit. Please check out peter kosta's review!
Beautiful watch. Dial and hands really pop. Seconds sub dial is stunning. Depending on the price and movement could be an incredible value. From the picture it looks to have a Longines quality finish and dial. How much does it cost USD?
