I've been eyeing up another watch to add to the collection and will hopefully be doing a deal tomorrow with a gent who is a car salesman.

So let's play a game and see if any of you guys can guess the watch given the occupation of the seller. Brand new price is £4400-£4700.

I'll say a Speedmaster to get the ball rolling.

Oddly enough, I bought my car from a main dealer and the salesman used to work for the family jewellers. He noticed my watch and we got talking about them. He was wearing a Tag at the time but his collection was larger than mine if I recall.

Surprised it wasn't a Rolex, personally.

Honestly, you could have at least given us a time limit before the answer was announced.

I’d guessed, correctly as it turns out, by the time I’d read your post, but you’d already given the answer away.

For shame.

Yes. Too easy! Don’t see the attraction myself.

Pick it up tonight. So I’ll post a pic of the big daft gaudy thing later.

If it helps, it’s a Renault dealer.
