Make that Afternoon Tea at the Ritz at the end of a nice stroll down Bond St looking at watches... they probably don't have. They do lovely Teas in Stratford too where Pragnell's is, lovely town.

This is fantastic! What a flashback and memories that will last a lifetime. A wonderful way to have acquired the 1 of 5!

Boodles in Chester had a 5711r in the window last weekend ( tried it on very nice), try calling Boodles in London and see if they will ship it up for you.
