After discussing this with another mate, he told me that his mate had just picked up a white face ceramic daytona from WoS in Brighton - he left the premises with a fully stickered watch and warranty card...he hasn't been on any waiting list, yet buys watches often from there - he says openly he doesn't even like daytonas and low & behold he sold it for £13k within 24 hours...and to rub salt in the wound, he says he is getting a black faced one next week!
Of course he has "spent" dozens of thousands of pounds in store (hence is a preferred customer), but looks like he's made just as much in conning others out of "hard to find" pieces! Oh the injustice!!
I often go into WoS in Royal Exchange, London and have been told repeatedly about their waiting lists and warranty card retention policies! Utter bull-dust...
Yet my dilemma in post #1 continues
Here is evidence - sales assistant 12 by the name of Spence must be a right turd, except in the eyes of my mate's mate (to whom he clearly is a cash-cow)
