I’d be pissed if the watch id been waiting for cost 1K more than it did last week when I got the call. But £500 i’d be like ‘well that’s a bit annoying but ok....’
just speaking economically, yes i agree. currency fluctuations up or down are going to happen depending. 5% seems like a wait and see as they can go more depending on what happens with the currency. If it tanks maybe another 10% like the last time.
