I don't want to go into specifics in your situation but perhaps I am playing certain things to save? If I would be dropping 30-40-50k on a watch I would like to have this amount x several times in my account.

Buy him a blue SkyD from a grey dealer. Cheaper than the 5712 at list, your dad gets something you know he wants, and you can have one very quickly.

You must have a great relationship with your AD then! Congratulations!

Unfortunately both my father and I have spread our purchases across a few different ADs in London.

Excellent suggestion and a truly great watch too! SkyD for the win!
