My husband bought rolex from Hari Oms in Calungute and we have also seen them in Ashokas in Candolim. Don't know about Rado

Were those fakes?

If not, they were very cheap originals! The one he bought had a movement just like Rolex (i.e. engineered, not battery) so you never know!

How much did he pay for them Candybabe? I may get a couple myself. I bought 4 fake watches in Turkey last June for £10.00p. 2 'Tag Heur' an 'Adidas' and a 'Breitling' all four are really expensive looking watches and I thought they would probably last a week or two after my holiday but to my amazement are still going strong.

Forgot to ask, where is Hari Oms located in Calangute?

If I remember (it was 2003 so little grey cells not so sharp these days) he paid 70 pounds. Hari Oms is on the road between Candolim and Calungute on left hand side. Very big shop set back - any taxi driver will know.

We think the ones in Ashokas (next to Magnum hotel in Candolim) were very similar but only about 40 pounds but as he already had one, we did not take too much notice. I was too busy buying a diamond ring (much more important).

The Hari Om one is still going strong and certainly looks impressive.

Hari Om is just past the Nizmar as you are going towards Calangute.

I bought one from next door to the magnum ( sells handbags as you look on the right) ladies rolex was £25 had it 3 weeks and the strap fell apart was going to return it in february and just see what they say.

All the 'fakes' I've seen have been pretty poor and over priced. It's not like Thailand I'm afraid. I thought they were all real rubbish! Don't waste your money.

Went to a watch shop in Mapsa ended up buying a Timex divers watch. Was only £12 cheaper than UK but it's a 'real' watch and still going!

i only asked cause a friend of mine brought me 4 back from thailand 8 years ago and they are still going great!!!! so i wondered if there was anywhere in goa to get them as pressies (cheapskate i know!!)


i dont want to pay over the top if they are not goo, but i shall have a look anyway, thanks everyone, as always your info is great and always appreciated
