A nice feeling twice over then. The fact you got a great watch and it will be so much more expensive in a few hours makes it even better.......enjoy

I made a list of about 40 AD's within south east england, started phoning through the list, phoned 3 with no answer then phoned Goldsmiths in Canterbury and asked if they had any stainless subs they could sell today, woman checked and came back and said yes we have one, so drove there straight away (about 40 mins)

Ticknaway · 1 November 2016, 08:04 AM

Congrats!!! So have far is 40 Minutes when your driving 160 kilometers per hour, LOLp

tommy91 · 1 November 2016, 08:30 AM

Did you even attempt to ask for discount? Lol

Snow-Dweller · 1 November 2016, 08:54 AM

Congratulations. Nice pickup.

sutats · 1 November 2016, 10:40 AM

Huge congrats Eddy! Hard work pays off. Enjoy it in the best of health.

By the way, how long has that style of bezel protector been in use? I've only ever known of the clear type. I've never seen this style until yesterday when I noticed from far away someone had on a cloudy bezel protector on what looked like a Rolex.

anuradha · 1 November 2016, 10:42 AM

Congrats. Well done.

SemperFi · 1 November 2016, 10:50 AM

Great timing Eddy if you'll pardon the pun. Congratulations!

I had a similar experience a couple of months ago.
Visited various AD's in London Regents Street, New Bond Street & Bluewater and all had waiting lists of 3/4 to 10/11 for a SubC with date black.
Decided to phone around the provincial AD's on a Friday morning and the first call to Goldsmiths, Tunbridge Wells found that they had none in stock but were expecting an allocation from Rolex of one on the coming Monday morning at about midday.
So I drove down from London and sat in a Nero's café close by at 11.00 am and just after noon rang the bell of the security door.
Yes, It had arrived, just!
The Salesman showed me the watch in its clear plastic travel container complete with all stickers.
On my wrist it looked quite superb! ( of course!)
The Salesman much regretted there would be no discount but as compensation offered a bottle of Moet & Chandon!
The watch is gaining about 1 second per 2/3 days which I am very pleased with.
It pays to phone around for sure!

Iloreyix · 2 November 2016, 01:48 AM

Nice - Love that look! I went with the no-date, but still love that date look!

KBM · 2 November 2016, 01:57 AM

Congrats! Out of curiosity, did the price increase occur today?
