I have found a couple of watches I like for my other half, but they're both discontinued models (needs to be a new one), any ideas on places to find one, everywhere I've tried so far has sold out? I have spoken to/emailed Dom Hackett and Watchfinder (still waiting on responses), apart from ordering one from the US, which I don't want to do in case she doesn't like it (very picky...), any other ideas?

BTW they're both Christian Dior Christal models CD113111M001 & CD113111M002

Didn't know what they were so googled and found THIS SITE who have both your models in.

Found via Chrono 24

They are in the states though, so factor import duty into the cost.

Thanks, found that one this afternoon after spending the day "working from home"! Even with the import duty (4.5%?) and 20% VAT still going to be a lot cheaper than it would be over here...issue is that buying from someone who isn't an authorised dealer means no manufacturers warranty, and I'm not too keen on relying on a warranty provided by someone in NY.

Will be going to Hatton Garden next week, so hope to find one of them there, not holding out a lot of hope though.
