Yup, worked for me. I went into a big AD in west London (that i’d never visited before) and bought my wife a SS JLC reverso and myself an Omega moonwatch. Obviously paid full price for those rather than 15%ish off that I’d researched online but I walked out them and a ceramic Pepsi (and big smile!).
