![]() That is a favourite of mine! The size is great and very unusual for that type of watch. I don't know any other companies that do one in that size. Cheers ![]() Carl

It is 20%. I am very happy with that. I know a number of people would say I could have done better. No haggling. Just offered to me.
I should be picking it up at the end of the week. This experience has been my most pleasant new watch purchase - bar none. I just know that the service will be amazing after the purchase, and that I will always be welcome in that shop, even just to browse and visit. I already knew one of the chaps from the AD where I bought my Omega Railmaster, and both of the gentlemen in that shop work beautifully together. What a wonderful experience! Cheers, Carl

As I wrote you the other day Carl, If one buys from a grey dealer in the States (where they all seem to be!!) They ship fed ex or ups so we in the great white north would be stung for duties and brokerage fees, add that lot up and the price you got yours from from a proper dealer with all the warrenties intact is pretty much on par for what the grey dealers I saw were selling them for!
Oh yes add in the Canadian/US exchange on top of that and the difference is so small as to not be worth the bother or lack of peace of mind going the grey route. I think you got an exceptional deal mate! |

And the service they give is incredible! I was asking about whether or not the 3130 caliber had been updated yet with the Parachrom hairspring, which will eventually be added to this movement. Wayne didn't know, but he took the watch upstairs and the watchmaker opened it up right there to check. By the way, just out of interest's sake, they seem to not have started updating this movement yet, as mine does not have it. I am absolutely beaming with delight ![]() Cheers, Carl

Only a few more sleeps my friend and it will be yours. I am so happy that you are inviting me along to share the experience, I can't wait!
I will predict here in public that this will be your favorite watch of all time ![]() ![]() |

You will really like your Explorer. I love mine. That's a great discount! I could only talk my AD into giving me 5% off mine!

![]() Love that Explorer of yours, with the drilled holes through the lugs! I would love if they were still doing that. Yours looks as good as new. Cheers, Carl

Just scratched mine by picking up a 5500 Explorer. Smaller than I'm used to but perfectly proportioned.
