Been on the list just over 3 years for this. Got a call this week.

Very nice - it’s the one watch I’d change my sub for, but sadly I can’t justify the price! (i.e. I don’t have £24k to spend on a watch ).

24k and the bezel doesn't even line up

Enjoy in good health surely?

I hope it gets the wrist time it deserves.

By new watches, do they mean the same old designs with slightly different colour combinations and hands from the spares box?

I'm off to the chip shop for lunch soon. I have made an appointment with them so they can interview me to see if I am suitable to buy from them. They may tempt me with a fishcake butty to see if I'm genuine, before telling me that the full fish n chips meal I want may take up to five years to prepare, and even then they might not even make it for me. All rather exciting. What should I wear?

I hope you remembered to take along a suitable gift for "your" FF (Fish Fryer).

You'll need to pop back periodically with further gifts, for chats around fish knowledge and demonstrate that you're a true fan of the brand

Don't forget to buy a bottle of Dandelion and Burdock that you don't like.

AFF (Authorised Fish Fryer)

I think I fu**ed up, I bought a can of Tango instead of Burdock. Stressing now incase they don't take me as genuine. I did buy an overpriced bottle of their malt vinegar though, and the AFF gave me a subtle nod, so hopefully I'll be ok.

I don't know. You'll find out in a few days time.

Thanks everyone, really pleased with it and been looking at them since 2015 so it's been many years of dreaming, thinking and then waiting! That white gold is a lovely watch too.

They accepted my order , Cod N Chips , I wanted to ask for Salt N vinegar but thought better of it as it might be seen as a bit council & be posted on some forum by a extremely middle class hero...

You didn’t first need to buy a battered sausage to prove you were genuine?

Congratulations

Care to share your waiting experience please? Did you have any contact with them over those 3 yrs or did they just contact you out of the blue?

[jgrewal]

Congrats on that watch looks amazing on the Oysterflex! Add yourself back on a waiting list your now seen a as serious buyer!

[InformationSuperHighway]

The YM is one of my all time favorites. More specifically the older / cheaper model with the blue hands.

Very underrated Rolex IMO.

Avoid the jars of shellfish though

H neck behaviour those

Yes, but is it safe to walk with the Fish & Chips down the street?

Or should I leave them at home in the oven and take a packet of crisps or a fried roe instead?
Saving the chips for when I’m in the safety of my own kitchen?

If I’m going to eat chips in the street I always play safe and eat oven chips in case I get them mugged from me.

A few years ago I would of went with white gold every time, but am drawn to two tone or rose gold now.

I got a call today about a James Cameron Deep-sea; not tried one of them on for a long time and remember it as a bit clunky, but going in tomorrow to try it on which is never a good idea...

Other people have also adviced me that it doesn't really make sense to service a watch unless there's a problem.

Interesting, and advice I might take

Anyone know what a Rolex service costs for a Daytona?
