A second incoming for a Melbourne WIS ....
Well, it's been a massive couple of weeks for me. Not even two weeks ago I secured my grail ... an all gold rollie in the form of an Everose Daytona. Wow, what a beauty, I've had so many compliments about it, it really is a standout. Not like a yellow gold that screams gold, but it's the amazing copper-red colour that captivates people.
After buying the Everose, I promised myself no more watches for 2012. None at all. Apart from maybe a Speedy Pro Moonwatch, a watch near the top of my wish list. Anyways, I'm at my local AD yesterday, just browsing and chatting to the friendly AD that served me last time. I asked him to show me some watches. Just for fun. Just looking I said. That 'just looking' then turned into some genuine interest. I went back to work to mull over what I've just been shown. A couple of hours later I was back at the AD's. And a couple of hours after that, I walked out with a new watch on my wrist. Ok, I absolutely promise myself NO MORE watches for the rest of this year (and next lol!). So ..... what do you think I got? |

Congrats Cary - you must be THG's best customer this year so far
I tried the Arabic dial version of this watch last year... beautiful and impressively hefty (as was the price!)

Did you negotiate the other AD's Cary?? I found the AD across the street from the Melb. RSC (the name eludes me) most receptive to a deal in my experience. !?
