You noticed the HEV but not whether it had ‘DEEPSEA’ or ‘SEA DWELLER’ in red on the dial?!

It was odd circumstances. Was probably going to get it anyway as I can never seem to find one when I travel. Was all set to complete purchase and fill out vat free forms when I was told that because I have a work visa I'm not eligible. Sales assistant goes to speak to manager and they gave me 10% off sticker price which was about vat equivalent. Reasoning given was that it had been in stock prior to the local government rules changes. However now that the amount has come off the account it wasn't as good a deal as expected once you factor in the bank exchange rates.
Not quite Rolex, but all 3 variations of the Tudor Pelagos in the window of Lunns, Queens Arcade, Belfast.
Explorer in the window of Goldsmiths in Eldon Sq, Newcastle. First time I’ve seen one in a dealer’s window in months.
Also had the Airking.
Tried on both. Not for me.
Alum and Sidway in Salisbury have a 2012 Black Ceramic GMT in their window for £5895 if anyone is interested.

GMT 2 in Lunns Belfast. Not sure if these are difficult to find.
They're not but word on the street is they're discontinued
I had to resist... my AD had a new delivery this am. If you want a sub at Rrp, there they are;

What's funny is. Spoke to AD in Sheffield and they'd just had a sports delivery. All sold mind. In that was a deep-sea, sub non date and an air king

Not any more!

Are the subs not easy to come by? I know Daytona steel and gmt steel are hard to come by but thought subs were easily sourced.
Sub date at a local AD today. Plus air king and SS GMT black. White explorer 2 also.

Airking in Deacons window in Swindon.
Champagne dial SkyD in Laings Glasgow
Thats a bit of a travel from Gleneagles AD to the Glasgow AD BadBoy.
Looking for something in particular?
Well there was nothing in WOS to note, also visited them, as I was in the city centre it was rude to not go in.
GMT like everyone else and the new JC, but also looking for a datejust 31 and so far best discount I was getting was 7%.

Red Seadweller just in at Suvarnabhumi - £8600ish. Too rich for my blood.
I’m back there in 3 days... chances it will be there still?! Anything else SS wise?
Chances zero I'd have thought I'm afraid bud. Been through there probably 15 times in the last 6 months and first I've ever heard of. And I drop in every time.
He notified me with a nod and a wink as seems to be the case these days. Only skydwellers, plenty of YMs in display. I spent most of the weekend rolling around Sukhumvit and was scoffed at every time I enquiried about any SS sports
They wouldn't even let me see it, let alone try it on before my payment had cleared :-p
That’s ridiculous! I was looking around the MBK Center and there was some stalls claiming to sell genuine... assume this is bs? Any experience?
Not sure if this is tongue in cheek - but I wouldn't buy a Seiko in MBK without having the back off it 🙂 Ryan, our resident expert might know best though!
In Budapest today and there was sweet FA in the window of the coty’s only AD. Old Exp 1 in the widow with white gold 369 for the equivalent of £5,700, black Exp2, SS YM and the usual two tone suspects.
I live in Budapest... very nice in th AD but even when in stock, the forex to U.K. and 27% VAT makes it all very expensive. They had a ND sub in there but it was 6750 GBP!
MBK is one of the best places to buy a Seiko - particularly the Ltd Edition stuff. Buy the seller of course.Not sure if this is tongue in cheek - but I wouldn't buy a Seiko in MBK without having the back off itRyan, our resident expert might know best though!
I wouldn't buy a Rolex in there though!
If in Thailand the best place to get leads for Seikos is on lazada.co.th. It's kind of like Amazon for Thai people but the retailers have their addresses etc so you can arrange to go in store

Agree i bought my SKX there and was a pleasure to deal with and price excellent with some negotiation.

Fraser Hart at Westfield Stratford has both white and black dial explorer 2 in the windows.
And an absolutely massive attitude if you go in and say anything other than “can I have what’s in the window”
Didn't find that myself. Got a perfectly nice response from lady when I enquired as to list length for Sub date ("closed but can I help with anything else"?) and a pleasant 15 minutes trying on the blue dial YM (I didn't buy it).

Both black and white dial explorers at Mappin & Webb Chester, didn’t notice much else though
Submariner non date.
If anyone spots one in the window give me a shout, sold mine last month to purchase another watch and now wish I hadn't .
DSSD in WoS on Oxford Street opposite Selfridges
If anybody spots a Submariner Date, please let me know :-)
Both watches have been sitting there for quite some time now.

Explorer 2s are quite common to see in ad windows

What about Explorer 1?
Not unheard of but much less common than than the explorer 2
There was one in brufords in Eastbourne last week. Probably gone now though.
They do have a serviced 2015 model in their second hand section though. I’d have bought it but at £4500 it’s a bit pricey for me!
See these all the time..
Canary Wharf WoS is unbelievable. Aware there are a lot of people in a small proximity but surely they should check their allocations

Can we all agree not to mention Exp1/2, Air King, YM, Black DSSD etc? These can be had anywhere.
I’d remove the explorer 1 from that list as it’s not often in the window although not as rare as the main protagonists.
I think we also need to include Any TT or PM models in the excluded list too.
Why do we need to remove anything? It’s not like there’s a post every 10 minutes in this thread. ;)
