One AD I deal with is paranoid about selling to anyone out of the area,particularly anyone from London due to flippers.I thought Fraser Hart may be a little different,obviously not.
Further to my original post,TT subs especially the bluesy are a rare sight in the UK,I know that must seem unbelievable to our friends across the pond,but the UK really feels like "The land that Rolex forgot"
No of course I don't doubt you mate. How common is it to see BLNRs and Hulks on the window (EDIT: or was that a long time ago)? I might go up there if Subs/GMTs are common to see in the window.

I agree with you though that ADs aren't keen on enquiries of popular watches by phone calls or emails.
