5167 availability in U.K.?

Hi all

Always admired but have never really considered it on my wrist until recently. I currently own a Sub and Daytona (which I wouldn't let go of) but still find myself looking at the 5167 more and more.

Finances mean I can't fund one presently but this forum and the 5167 comments / photos is doing a great job of making my mind up to commit to myself on focusing in on purchasing one within the next year.

Can anyone advise on availability in the U.K.?

Thanks

Call around and ask a few ADs. I got a 5167 and 5711 Blue within a few months of asking.

Plan a campaign to lay the groundwork. Leave a watch magazine around with a photo if it, if you can find one. Take her to look at jewelry at a store that carries the 5167 and casually pass by it and comment on how nice that one looks, then move on. Couple weeks later show her a photo on this website and ask what she thinks. Etc.

I basically did the same thing when I bought a 911 Porsche, and it seemed to work. Just plant the seeds and don't push too hard.
