I tried some things on in That London Town. Sorry the photos are awful.

Longines Heritage Sector. Hated the bracelet, loved the dial, lots of nice textures, and more a dark grey than the black in most photos. Hands a bit too skinny for good legibility, but still rather nice.



Oris Propilot. More legible than in photos, lovely bracelet, but just a bit too "flat" for me.



And a Grand Seiko SBGA415, which I was unsure of in pictures, but is just glorious in person. I will probably be making myself poor soon because of one of these. Also took the opportunity to compare my SARX055 with a real Snowflake - you can see where the extra money goes, but the 055 is a stone-cold bargain for how close it gets.



Again, sorry about the photos.

You're correct if I go by my own personal experience too. Always raises a smile when people reckon models are easily available.... would love to know their own real world experience. I would wager most of the 'experience' is YouTube.
2022 model at 20% discount....

It's 2024 though... at least compare apples with apples.

I hear you - but to say it is a 'difficult to get' model isn't quite right.
If I was inclined, I'm sure I could find a 2024 at close to retail.

Irrelevant.... what other watches did you bring to Spain?

My local AD had a full rose gold root beer available to purchase just before Christmas, in the case available to anyone.

I was offered one by WoS last week, along with a gold Yachtmaster. I love them both, but it's not how I would spend those amounts of money on a watch.

A friend was wearing the 'other' version of this at lunch the other day - black dial, white numerals. I thought it looked very smart.
