Ah okay, sounds similar to the GMT when I picked mine up to be honest.
There was one there a few weeks ago, sat ready to go with a price on it. Didn't realise these were on a wait list, but looks like you might get lucky if you pop in.

On the other side of the hall you have Bulgari and Chopard... I was having another go with the Alpine Eagle and the Octo. Not decided what to do for my next watch so its helpful having both in the same place!

They normally have 1 or 2 on display. They won't sell the display ones. (they also won't let you keep any of the packaging, Send all including swing tags back to Tudor)

I was on the waitlist for about 4 months, I have heard of a people being very lucky and walking in. Not sure how true. On the flip side I have heard of people who have been on the waitlist for nearly a year.

It's actually a champagne dial, not silver. Need to take an up-to-date 'photo that shows it off.

My Oris bronze has started to develop patina which I want sure about but I quite like now. It is good to know that you can clean it up if you want to.

I was expecting nearer to a grand for the Spinnaker just on seeing the quality.

Nice Blancpain up there!

I’ve lost a bit of interest in this thread. I have all the watches I want now - three sporty Rolexes of varying vintages, a smart PP annual calendar and a few retro watches. I can’t think of anything else I’d want to buy. Maybe something in yellow gold but that seems a step too far.

Anyway, thanks to all those who keep posting it’s nice to dip in from time to time smile

Giving my Pontos an outing this week.

Had it off my wife for my 40th (almost 10 years ago). IMO, a very classy & underated piece.

Today's choice.
One of my favourites and much underrated in my view.
