Those are the older 40mm, there is a new 42mm.

I phoned EJ, and the guy said he'd call me back, but hasn't...Why should he bother just to try and secure a £5500 sale

No discount?

I got 5% off my Sub without trying.

Perhaps they have higher expectations for Explorer IIs....

Some Ej branches have received a watch or two ! I have another one arriving next week with a white dial. Will get my 10% discount on that one.... But not from Ej Southend ...

Jason, do you read the local papers on how many times Ej Southend has been robbed ?

I think I'm going to wait for my grey man to get me more than 10%, they are going for 10% off after being worn for a couple of weeks, I think 15% off BNIB is going to be possible very soon.

It looked like the same MO & gang each time, didn't it? The doors are kept locked now with a guard / doorman...

I had great service when I bought my Sub. Especially from Martin and (I think) the manageress.

I was called promptly / remembered when I visited etc...
