If so, I'd appreciate you sharing your logic! There are one or two watches I like the look of that aren't readily available in UK......

I think when it comes to panic buying, watches would not be too high on anyones list of necessity but certainly the watch market could look somewhat different in the UK when or if we break with the EU.Quote:

Quite so. After all no one really needs a watch.......but if you were planning to make an unnecessary purchase, has the looming issue of Brexit made you anxious to get the deal done before 31st March? Apologies if my question was too woolly.Quote:

Good plan, I hear Rolex are exiting the UK post Brexit anyway!Quote:

I will admit to compiling a Cousins order with delivery to Berlin this week just in case.
I think you would be too late, Brexit is the 29th March !Quote:

Well, I guess the worry would be the pound will tank so anything bought in Euros would cost more in relative terms.
To be honest though, we'll be so busy building all those hospitals with the extra £350M per week that I don't there'll be any time for watches.
I am stockpiling lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, and Brei cheese - never know what will happen to those perishable goods once the boarders shutdown (or not). I've already sold out on my stocks and shares ISAs - to buy back after the inevitable market wobbles when the world ends. Watch buying habits - the EU is of no consequence - since when was buying watches a rational decision??
As the EU referendum was merely a catalyst in allowing collapse in sterling from what virtually every analyst had been saying was badly overvalued for 2-3 years before the referendum, I doubt that, apart from an initial hit, there will be much medium or long-term change in currency values until the Euro and EU crash from their internal contradictions and the rise of anti-EU sentiment.
I’m stockpiling in pigs, just need some fencing as the buggers are causing absolute mayhem!
Luckily for you, I’ve been stockpiling fence posts and barbed wire for just such an eventuality! [emoji106]Quote:

Keep calm and carry on.
Dont know about buying but the sale of tin foil hats seems to be doing a roaring trade these days.
With another commons defeat tonight for Ms May, I imagine this and other nice areas will be discussed ad nauseam on the Brexit thread just now. I say “I imagine”, cos wild horses couldn’t drag me to read it.
I bought my IWC the day before the referendum fully aware how the pound could suffer. The RRP of the same watch would cost me £800 more today.Quote:

No, they are just arguing like toddlers as normal and hardly mention brexit anymore 😂Quote:

Sounds like a perfect trade :icon_biggrin:Quote:

I was tracking a brand new 116234 on Chronext around this time. After the referendum it was over £1k more expensive. Such grey dealers no longer offer cheap options to the UK. Lets hope the currancy will not suffer further.Quote:

My firm has completed about £60m of panic buying.
People are stockpiling painkillers and toilet rolls according to Morrisons in the news this morning.
Luckily, real men don’t use toilet paper.......
Don't you believe it - I tried the plastic version but it was way too slippery so I'm back in to using paperQuote:

- Place the bit you've just ripped off between your teeth, (N.B. this is very very important)
- Open the bus ticket and you will find a hole right in the middle
- Push your left 2nd finger through the hole
- Wipe bum on ticket by inserting left 2nd finger into rectum and twisting until bum is clean
- Remove finger from bum ensuring bus ticket remains on the finger
- Carefully remove bus ticket from finger, this will have the effect of cleaning the finger as you slide it up
- Fold bus ticket in half and drop into the loo, or put in pocket for later disposal if in the wild
- Now take the folded corner piece from your teeth and use it to clean the poo from beneath your left 2nd fingernail.
Job done. :eagerness:
Not when there’s a rabbit nearby [emoji1787]Quote:
