Sorry, can't help you as I was pretty much shopping for shinier things...

 

..... saw a ton of watches at the stores I went in to - just wasnt paying attention to what kind....

 

but I am sure someone out there can answer your question.....

How about loose stones? I'm thinking of looking for loose sapprires(sp) and tanzanite.

Appears to win hands down. Marigot is alot more expensive.

 

For instance - Golf Shirt - $18 in Marigot. We got to Phillipsburg. The exact same shirt (checked shirt tags) 3/$20. Beach bag with wrap, scrunchie, etc. $22 in Marigot, $9.95 in Phillipsburg.

 

Liquor is unbelievably inexpensive. $5.95 for Tanqueray Gin. $8.95 Kaulua, $5.95 Absolute Vodka, $7.95 Vanilla Absolute Vodka. All 1 ltr bottles. Petron was not a deal. It was $39.99 and we can get it at Sam's at home for $33.77.

 

Check the stores. Ray's was more than the store a little further down (Carribean something-we bought here.)

 

A note on the watches. Some of the finer watches are price fixed. I went to 3 islands and several stores and the prices were the same. I couldn't get them to go $1 less. They said they could lose there ability to sell them. So your watch should be less then in the States, but you may not be able to bargain a whole lot. (Still try!)

The booze is super cheap. I just hate hauling those bottles home.

Try ALPHA JEWELS in Philipsburg. The store is located across from the GUAVA BERRY EMPORIUM (11 a Front Street, Unit # 3, The Village). Just speak to the owner, Sanjay, and he will take very good care of you.
