Dominic Hackett, Dom H on here, what a gent! Another great experience over at Hackett watches this morning!

He relieved me of my ND Sub and IWC Spitfire Chrono and I relieved him of some bank funds.

He's also sorting the batteries in a couple of Tag F1 Chronos for me and he swapped some of his own Sub links for some Seadweller links for me (the dealer who supplied the SD sent me extra links but they were not correct) and sized the bracelet.

AND he then took me for lunch!

He did all that and I've never given him a penny of my own money (though I've sourced watches through him for friends)!

If Heineken made watch dealers...

I didn't bother negotiating his first price on my watches so he probably felt bad wink

A trip to Dom is a terrifying ordeal for anyone's wallet. But always produces excellent results

After correspondence with Dom and hearing about experiences on here I'm looking forward to meeting him!

I'll have to get some money together first though.....

Dom was as friendly as ever and his shirt/tie combination was as questionable as ever (although no pink trousers this time which was a relief!)... wink as for the watch, I think I'll probably go for it, but going to have a short time to think and make sure it's right given it's not for me personally to wear. smile

You may be the first person to ever go into Dom's office to look at a watch and leave without buying (I don't let him show me watches)!

It's a gift! You need to teach Yeti this willpower!
