Had a friend visit for a significant birthday celebration a few years back. He wanted a watch, a nice, big watch that was distinctive. Something you jsut wouldn't run across for sale in the USA. I suggested first thing we hit Mustafa's. He found some things he liked right off. But he wanted to shop. I swear we hit every single watch retailer on the island, ultimately ending up right where we started, at Mustafa's. To push him over the decision edge, I agreed to buy one as well. We both bought Ingersol watches for decent prices. I do get compliments on mine - a multi-time zone piece. The brand, for anyone that knows watches in the USA, is a crap brand, but has been bought by some European outfit and is being marketed outside of the USA.

Definitely depends "Who you are," or more appropriately, "what you look like." Took tourists there, obvious middle/upper class white Americans. They got waived right on by with nary a look in the stringbags.
