I don't have any pictures of beforehand unfortunately. I drove to Portsmouth to pick up the watch, want happy with the condition of the bracelet but at that price I went ahead and bought it then took it straight to watch finder store in Brentcross. It was done at Maidstone.

Just opened there apparently. The one in Leeds closest to me has closed after two armed robberies.

There was a motorbike robbery in Fraser Hart BC a few years ago so just being in a mall is not safe, esp when they have no doors or security.

Yes, apparently something like half of all well known greys have been hit in the last 6 months, most now expect incidents every year.

I wasn't aware the robberies were such a big problem. I recently sold my 114060 on eBay (which I bought off another seller who bought from WF!)to what turned out to be a dealer in London. When I told him I wouldn't take PayPal because of the potential scams he asked me for the watch reference to check before he paid by bank transfer. Would or could he have been checking against a stolen list? I guess its another thing to look out for when buying secondhand from private or unknown sellers.
