Nothing much there, just another city, unless you go to outskirt area. If you have people there belanja you, then you are lucky, otherwise, things are expensive. But the scenery is nice, especially the lady, you can play the "guessing game" of what ops they have done.. :Laughing_on_floor:

Just enjoy the authentic food  :thumbsup:

Where would you stay ? Iteawon ? In Hamilton Mall at Iteawon Street they sell a few cheesy watch not worth buying, but the ladies would love it....germstone and bling bling

At train station there is one mall. They sell quite a number of Grand Seiko.

At the airport also got a few nice shop selling watches

In dongdeamun, city famous for shopping, I cant find any watch shop, same goes for namdeamun, and one place i cant remember the name , suppose to be the IT mall ...cant find any decent watch shop

Thanks for the information, mnazri.tan.
Will keep a look out on the GS and at the same time enjoy the food.
Will be flying off later this evening.

The only place that I see preowned watches is in myungdong. But the selection are mostly targeted to the fashion conscious e.g. Chanel J12, some Rolexes, CD Chiffre Rouge ( but if u like the design, there is one model equipped with the El Primero calibre.)

Most of see preowned shops deals in preowned handbags too. The Koreans and Japanese called these as "trade-in" stores. Girls would go in and trade their handbags, accessories, watches and etc... for a different model to suit their current taste and trend.

Take a train to Jongno 3-ga Station .
Alot of pre-owned Gold , Jewel & Watch shop there.

The Lotte Duty Free Shopping mall is disappointing , their prices isn't very good either .

I also miss the people and the food there. On top of that, many stores are open 24 hours. Some time at midnight if we are bored we go to Shopping or eat food along the street.

Every time i go, my friends sure ask me buy alot of Skin care products and mask. I think can last for 1 year storage. Really very cheap and suitable for Asian skin type.

I like to buy Ginseng at Lotte Duty Free Shop
