That's great Tom, you'll love it. Nice to pretend to be civilised for a moment.

Happy birthday Neil and I'm not sure which looks better the pastries or the watch. That said I can afford the pastries :-)

Will have to take Mrs Shaky there me thinks
I didn't know the culinary theme would be red, wish I'd had a SD43 now but still happy with my blue sub.

Great pics and looks like a great time. I imagine you're planning to gift yourself that Oysterflex Daytona when they're available to pair with that awesome YG Sub
No discounts and expensive cups of tea are not helping my Rolex buying in the UK.

Strange to think that the Lanesborough was a hospital until the late 1970s.

Happy Birthday Neil

Happy Belated Birthday.

I just returned from the UK for vacation. Afternoon tea was a highly recommended activity to partake. Being our first time in London, there was so much to do and take in that we forgot to make time for it. Returning home to the states, I managed to find a place that serves high noon tea to make up for it. Obviously it pales in comparison to your photos and experience. I will surely return to London one day and I will definitely give that place a try. Thank you for sharing.

Cheers.

Yes, I wasn't much aware of it growing up but it's certainly risen to prominence and holds title to the most expensive suite in London at £26K a night... that costs more than my YG Subc!

Nice photos, and with that golden Bluesy, what other watch is there to acquire? That baby is the holy grail for many Sub aficionados!
