Its been easier in my hunt for a black ceramic GMT - my local AD expects one soon and I am the only person on the waiting list. If I had wanted a Batman they told me the wait would be at least one year!

I am sure i saw a black GMT at the jewelry quarter yesterday in Birmingham, here is the stores website. Unsure what the price was or age etc. www.panachewatches.co.uk.
Hope that helps!

Hey guys, so firstly I would like to thank Dave-B for the incredibly timed forum post! I was on the phone to the mentioned AD at opening time, and 4 hours later now sat enjoying my new sub with a pint!
Over the moon with it!

I have no idea why I've never heard of it....but I won't forget it now.

There's any number of small towns in England which are designated "city" status because of a cathedral.

there are 69 to be precise in the entire UK, and if it wasn't for an AD in Lichfield, i would have never known

Hollister · 17 July 2017, 10:37 PM

Well, 69 is an excellent number.

Congratulations it looks great, really pleased that a member of this forum flagged this up and another member has bought it.

I also live in a City but the AD here seems to specialise in every possible variation of a Datejust and bugger all else!

Good man, Dave and congrats Martin on the beautiful purchase.
I'm only in Birmingham, so not too far away. I've never thought of doing this, so next time I spot anything interesting, I'll try to help out.
Well done guys. Happy days.

Stevec14 · 18 July 2017, 02:34 AM

Great purchase and kudos to Dave on flagging up. Enjoy the watch (and the pint).

The Libertine · 18 July 2017, 03:04 AM

Martin, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Steve36Efc · 18 July 2017, 03:17 AM

Congratulations Martin, it's an absolute stunner

Congratulations on absolute classic, enjoy your pint

this forum is great . Been thinking it might be an idea if any other forum members are looking for a particular watch & it's seen in AD window ( even in the small towns ) then we can pass it on. I know Everglades smaller ADs that usually have good selections , unless you want a DaytonaC or New sea dweller etc . And if I do see one of these first then first dibs to me

Nairn1980 · 18 July 2017, 03:45 AM

Great teamwork!!

tufty · 18 July 2017, 04:43 AM

well done, very nice!

coleburns · 18 July 2017, 04:48 AM

That price can't right. Is it second hand?

That's RRP...what price were you expecting?

Dave-B · 18 July 2017, 04:54 AM

As Nairn says, that's RRP for an 114060 and yes it's of course brand new.

Well done guys, same thing happened to me with a heads up alert on the forum. Great to see us all Jedi working together against the Dark Side. One day, this too shall pass.

Same. Can't decide if it's too polarising and loud or if it's something cool and a bit different. The ones who have and love it seem to have sizeable collections so perhaps not an everyday piece. Can't decide.

Dave-B · 18 August 2017, 01:27 AM

Good old Salloways AD in Lichfield has a steel GMT for sale, if anyone is interested? It's only been in a day

Luap1976 · 18 August 2017, 03:11 AM

Wow all the ads in my area only have the 116613ln in the window. Ive not seen a 116610ln or hulk or smurf or nodate for almost a year in an ad window
