    Christmas Sales thread...

    The sales are starting it seems. I've found a couple of things but nothing too exciting:

    Goldsmiths... http://www.goldsmiths.co.uk/c/SALE/f...rt_price+desc/
    Beaverbrooks... http://www.beaverbrooks.co.uk/sale?s...es&pageSize=0#
    HS Johnson (linked to a watch that doesn't look recognisable in the slightest. Totally unique and not a copy of an IWC at all)... https://www.hsjohnson.com/watches-c1...ic-watch-p5249
    Jura watches: http://www.jurawatches.co.uk/collections/sale

    If you spot any sales or bargains, it would be great to list them here.

    That's actually better than the Currys sale. I was going to order a satnav yesterday at £180 but thought I'd hold off until the sale started today to see if it got cheaper. It's now £260

    So they can reduce it back to £180 in the new year sale...

    Dixons group is an absolute disgrace... unfortunately they can get away with it as there is no competition left on the high street for them anymore...

    These are OK discounts I think...

    The pic is wrong in the second link, it's a 410 annual calendar rather than an Aeronef.

    It is interesting to note that certain high street chain discount stock because they have been mishandling it. 2 Breitling with clear damage to DLC and scratch to AR coating.

    I'm not sure I've ever heard anyone grumbling about Ball quality - the designs can be a bit divisive ... but if *you* like *that* watch, then that's scarcely an issue, is it? :)

    Had.....I take it that is now part of your collection? If so pictures please :-)

    Selfridges said 10% off everything apart from Panerai and AP today which could be worth it for some of the more obscure brands although everything looks a bit "handled" to be honest and the crowd wouldn't make for a relaxing purchase experience at the moment.

    Alas no, current finances don't allow for this but a work colleague snapped it up. It really is cracking value at that price.

    Was in the Trafford Centre on boxing Day (see The Force Awakens with my lad for the second time, not shopping!) and the only decent savings where in Ernest Jones; four Breitlings (inc Steelfish Chrono, Superocean Chrono and Airwolf) at half price, had a look, but they were VERY much shop spoiled and needed refinishing (scratches and micro dinks on the sides). Beyond that, other than a nice ish Cal 1887 Carrera Chrono, not much at all. One of the least impressive sales whilst I was wandering the TC.

    As a Manc, I missed the ole Arthur Kay post Xmas "20% off all Omega" :) though, of course, they lost the AD position no doubt as a result!

    Might be a good second-hand deal for someone in the us given you can check it and then return it:

    Anyone know if they have any 40 or 42mm watches in this sale? I tried on a 44 previously but it's too big for my chicken wrists...

    The new Ernest Jones outlet in Livingston has a nice selection of Balls with 50% off. It should be possible to negotiate a further 10% discount if you ask. Their Facebook page is at www.facebook.com/Ernestjoneslivi/

    They will take orders over the phone and post nationally if there's anything that takes your fancy. I think payment has to be made with an Ernest Jones gift card if the transaction is done over the phone.

    I bought this as I started my journey to visit my family, it'll be delivered to my neighbour just before I get back home tomorrow. I love the internet.

    At least have the price tags the right way up!! And remove the stand that has no watch on it!!!

    Annoys me that!

    Lack of attention to detail ;)

    At half price, I'll forgive them that.
