    The Pound has plunged to the lowest point over past 31 years. If Pound maintains at low level, may we buy IWC in the UK rather in the continent? Or, if the price in Pound is adjusted up to factor in the exchange, UK local purchase (purchase by UK local people) of IWC may decrease?

    I guess you only will have a money benefit if you go to the UK very soon, having to be there anyway, and buy the watch you like. To plan an additional trip to the UK, and doing so in a few weeks, may not give you that benefit at all.

    But it starts with the urge to want to own a special watch, that will give you that pleasure every time you look at it.

    Kind regards,
    Paul

    Thanks for the comment. Actually I started this post from the EU perpsective. For example, a French perspective. How does it compare for a West-coast French to take a ship to UK and buy IWC in Pound against buying the IWC in France?
