Usual question I suppose. Tried on a Blue Black GMT today at H&I Edinburgh. Liked it much more then I expected, even with the shiny centre links.
The nitty gritty though £5950

What would you expect to pay? They had at least two in the store. He never asked if I'd be looking to trade my date sub, so it looked to me like straight sale only.

My god it's fancy in there too..

Thanks. I shall keep you posted if I proceed. It really didn't look like the kinda place for horsetrading, but there is no way I won't be asking for something off.
Can't help myself. There must be a fair margin in it to play with.
My daft wife didnt help much, she was saying "ooooh go on, get it !"
Duh

As an aside, I can't believe how pricey these things are now.
I think (bit hazy) 2350 new AD for my D/sub about ten years ago.
Can that be right?
Wages haven't gone up by that margin round these parts.

They had at least two in stock on Sunday. Lovely things.

The free service is a good idea, hadn't thought of that. Got to be worth 500 or so come the time it is needed.
Cheers

You're not wrong.

Agree on the Laings thing. Bought my wife one there a few years ago. Great to deal with, Not much off though on a mid size in S/steel.

The guy at H&I on George St said that the new Rolex room had a watchmaker attached. Wouldn't the service be done there?
