I don't mind either way. I don't care about them. The problem I have is that after inspecting and buying the watch, one that I've been trying to get for quite some time, the AD took it into a back...
The coffin was still there, although I neither wanted nor cared for it and I fully expect the only list I'll be on is a black one. Again, I don't care whether or not it came with the stickers, but I...
Yep, I expected that after I'd bought something it was mine and not the shop's to do with as they wanted. Again, I don't care about the stickers, but I don't like people messing with my stuff without...
I know I'm going to get lots of grief for this, but the events of today upset me. In the AD's defence: I can be difficult, am obsessive over certain things and my permanent chronic pain was having a...
Sorry to hear this. Hope it all works out for you.
Somebody broke into my place a couple of years ago. Broke my downstairs bedroom window, managed to ignore all my watches on the dressing table...
I've had to utilise the diving extension on my Orange Monster.
Came back to look at the replies to my post and suddenly we were back in the land of 1970s racism. Words fail me.
Thanks. I still have some doubts about the AD. There was a missed call on my phone (but no message) on Saturday whilst I was out Parkrunning, which now I've checked was the AD. Seems strange that I...
In other news, this will be worth about an order of magnitude more than my usual wear. What's the general recommendation for insurance?
So last week I posted about my problems with the local AD, their surfeit of Datejusts and the lack of any divers. Fast forward to this morning and an answerphone message from the AD (without a number...
There's a part of me that thinks if I go grey I'll only be encouraging the scalpers. For now, I'll just wait. The difference in price would add nicely to my collection of basses and I really need a...
The plan would be to swap the bracelet out with something I'd be happier wearing (damaging) every day and keep the original in the safe for a rainy day.
I have to say I was staggered at the lack...
I've offered to pay a deposit and the dealer says no. Given this and how they've twice taken my details for this mystical list of theirs I'm not entirely sure of its existence and I've been on it...
Welcome to the story of my life!
Yes, it's another one of those posts! I've posted about this previously, but as I only get to my not-very-local AD every 6-12 months (on trips to my accountant) I was unaware that things were now...
I've worked with one person who did exactly that. He just wanted to be able to say that his watch was a Rolex, he didn't care about anything else. So he went to his local AD and bought pretty much...
Oh my sweet Flying Spaghetti Monster, no!
What about analogue clocks syncing from an (S)NTP server? Maybe something like masterclock.com. Each clock can be set to a different locale/UTC offset.
As per the title, my 3½ year old, second generation, Orange Monster has recently started losing a lot of time. It was a constant 7 sec/day (very annoying, why couldn't it be fast?) for about three...
In past dealings with them they've been prepared to knock a few hundred pounds off the price if you ask nicely and then a little bit more if you look undecided and consider walking away. I'm quite...
I popped into the Newbury Fraser Hart today as I was passing by, to ask about the new Seamasters. A more different shopping experience you couldn't imagine.
Three very helpful and interested...
Was having some bridge work done on my double bass. Had to compliment the gentleman on his Deepsea. It paled into insignificance compared to some of the basses he had for sale, but that's another...
Absolutely spot on! They clearly didn't like me and I can be, at times, a complete tosspot. But never when shopping. It's a long time ago now, but I've been on the other side of that fence and...
I agree entirely, although a part of me feels that you have some responsibility to at least make an effort to know your product. Nobody even made an attempt to sell me a Pelagos or another nice...
Obviously if anyone wants to recommend a good/friendly AD (Rolex or Omega) I'm prepared to travel.
