A personal thanks to the citizens of Great Britain

To each of you that voted to exit the EU this is a personal thanks to each of you. Whilst you may have ensured the misery of millions of people for a certain period of time, the collapsing pound and the VAT refund made many of us very happy. The last of the watch trilogy collected today!!!

PS the 5130G I had sold 2 weeks earlier as o didn't like Riyadh on the dial and Moscow in the wrong place. I missed it plenty and following the collapse found a BNIB at the AD for $500 less than I had sold and it has Dubai on it which was the earlier edition!perfect!

We are happy thanks, second in Olympic Medal Table, Retail Sales for July are up on last year and the sun is shining (well it is here in Chichester). Enjoy your new watch

The 5930 is still scheduled for December delivery. But there will be an exceptional non PP next year

I am South African....after stealing our gold and diamonds you now insist I need a visa to come to the place currently know as United Kingdom and soon just Engkand & Wales!

Beautiful pics my friend! Such a well rounded collection. Hopefully your 5930 comes sooner than later. You will have many complications covered after her arrival: WT, Chrono, Moonphase, GMT, and AC

awesome incomings - i managed to pick up a total of zero new PP's in the post brexit pre PP price rise period.

But have been informed by my AD to expect a couple of new incomings in the next week or so - obviously at the updated prices!

enjoy your incomings my friend - its a nice collection you are building
