How do I search foreign retailers? Looking for a watch.

How do I search Indian, Chinese, southern Asian or Middle eastern retailers?

Is there a way of changing Google so I could look through foreign watch retailers?

Are there many local versions of Google in this region of the world or any alternative search engines I could use?

I'm looking for a gold-coloured - not actual gold - men's chronograph watch, as a retirement present; maybe Seiko, but nothing gaudy or above £250 - £300.

Cheers.

    Did you try http://www.google.co.in/ http://www.google.cn/ etc.?

    And do you expect to get originals when buying from Asia?

    Something like this perhaps.
  • No, I haven't tried .co.in or google.cn yet. Do you have any more?

    There should be some reputable retailers in these countries and regions, so it should be possible to avoid fakes. Anyway, I'm just looking at the moment, but thanks.

    Thanks for the ebay suggestion, but it might be a bit too bling.

    I did find this one (also here), although it's too much and the wrong colour and maybe the wrong make, but sort of the restrained style he'd prefer.

    For which country? Just google for "Google <country>". Don't worry, you will NOT break the Internet ;)
