Watches & Collectibles

Not island-specific, but a handful of our long-stay guests are collectors, and one shop comes up in nearly every conversation:

• Richard Mille replica watches — the RM 67-02 and 88 pages have good side-by-side photos if you're comparing finishes.
• For the lower price tier, the same shop carries the UMI line — the UMI RM 055 and 35-02 are the models our guests ask about most.
