Bruce please don't rub it in anymore than needs be.
We know you guys have it easier in the USA.

I'm waiting for someone over there to say they are surprised at this and that they saw a couple in an AD's window next to a few D-Blue's and a DaytonaC

Bought two watches from Goldsmiths in Middlesbrough & had no issues either time. Go get it if you can.

Might even drive the 10 mins and get it myself .

I'd be a bit pissed off if having been on the list I find that they've had my watch out in the window display. If I order a watch I would like it in its perspex box and sealed. I don't see why that would be asking for too much.
I asked the sales assistant why they had it out in the window and she said she didn't know.

Yes/No

I've paid for it but I'll never get to wear it, I was looking at my pics on here etc and though why do I need 5 watches (and my wife has 3)

Someone very close to me admired my BLNR and commented on it a few times which I then flipped and in the grand scheme of things sometimes someone else's happiness is more rewarding then your own.

I've flipped my Sub I purchased on Friday already to cover the majority of the BLNR cost

I'm glad a fellow TRF member got the watch rather than a none WIS.

I too thought for a second about trading my Subc for it but I really do prefer the Subc even tho it will soon be half the price
