Went into my AD today....
And boy, was I tempted. No real shortage of SS sports references in Singapore and he had the YM rhodium dial on display. Even though I'm not a fan of TT, the Sub blue dial was singing way too loud.
I was offered 15% off each one and Mrs Van D could've had 20% off a RG Daytona. Oh, and he can get me a Daytona C within two to three months but at a S$7,000 premium (£3,980 US$4,920)

Paul that's the sub I want which is a good job as they are easier to get in the UK than a SS one.

Great looking watches. I'm not sure I could resist the temptation.
The RG Daytona looked really nice on Mrs. D..

Price has gone up to £9,900 Ian, so probably worth you taking a short trip outside the EU and picking one up at LHR. Retails at S$18,000 here so that sort of discount makes for a great pick up for me because I'm paid in S$

I'm also not a fan of TT but tried this on yesterday. The siren song was loud indeed! Managed to resist so far but if I can't find an 116610LV by Feb then I may crumble and go TT

I knew you'd be along, Nick I'm just waiting for Cru to tell me that I have enough SS Rolex and I should buy another PAM

Nice pics Paul, 20% on the RG Daytona is a great deal, hardly get 10% off here, so think you should do right by the missus plus you can borrow whenevs. Took some pics myself last week of some, will post pics.

I know I did not walk out of my AD without the Bluesy! One of my favorites and it looked great on you.
My second choice would be the YM. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
