Seems strangely quiet here today following the earlier shop opening. Anyone pick up something nice?

I caved and got the polar PRS-52 baby dreadnought. Summer watch, I'd say :) Liked the black one too but ultimately preferred the contrasting second hand on the polar.

Mine shipped out today, so most likely on my wrist later this week. Looking forward to it!

PRS56 awaiting notification it's been shipped. Can't wait to see this in the flesh!
Actually just got my PRS-52 Polar Baby Dreadnought today. Just sized it during a work call and it's on my wrist. It wears very nicely and is super legible, big fan. Have a couple of fkm bands coming for it, but the bracelet is pretty great.

Really liking how this one fits! Been wearing it since I got it.

If anyone does online banking with Royal Bank of Scotland, they have just introduced 'Click to Pay', which negates the polava of authorising the payment through having to get codes etc. therefore fast payment, which may avoid missing the time limit before you find you've lost the purchase.
Been taking quite a bit of time off from watch buying but very pleased to have got myself a Commander today. Now for the wait...
Yes, refresh, refresh, refresh starting at 13:59, got the Commando PRS-47 complete at 14:02. Ordernr 9111.
First successful buy this year.
Tried the Everest’s earlier this year, but I was to slow.
Refreshed screen and got on PDQ, order confirmed email at 14.01!
Due to too much use I seem to have memorised my credit card details which probably helps!
Unfortunately no. Do you think there might be another run for the Commander in the future? With my 7.5 inch wrist, and that 38mm case along with it's 20mm strap width fits the bill for me. Hope to see at least one more run. Eddie you have turned me into a monster with your watch choices. That's Ok, I'll forgive you.
It is very likely there will be more PRS60's for sale.
If the minimum batch size at manufacture is 300, and maximum sales have been around 200 at each store opening.
There will be more stock waiting to go out very soon.
To be quick enough, I need to copy & paste credit card details into the checkout page to tick all the boxes and close everything off around 2-minutes.
Yes I must be more efficient and stealth like for future purchases. In my opinion the PRS60 should be a model for many upper scale dive watch manufacturers out there. Dive watches were originally on the small / petite side back in the late 50's early 60's. Somehow they have now due to brainwashing have become something that one might wear around his neck. Nothing against any entertainers just the truth. Dive watches are so big now that when I wear mine I actually try to decide do I really want all that weight on my wrist all day. Crazy isn't it?
Managed to get a Commander. Sat doing the refresh and dead on 1400hrs clicked on Buy. Used my phone as all my card details are pre-entered. Was literally next next next, text message received and job done.
I do also fancy a speedbird GMT so that’s next on the list when it becomes available.
Good luck to everyone this afternoon. I hope you get what you want.
Not a hope. I have no idea how to do online paying for anything. I don't have a credit card and can't see me getting one because having gone into my bank they cannot order one for me, I have to apply on 'the banking app'. So that's the end of that.
Anyone lucky today and have something nice coming in time for Christmas?
I bought a nice bowl of sold out at 2.01pm. Just simply was not quick enough and I use a smartphone. But my newborn was crying and bouncing in and out of apps to verify just failed me . I can only empathise with someone using a pc or other means.

Yes, it has been a while, but I was finally succesfull today.
Ik bought the PRS-25 Honeycomb. I am a happy Dutchman.
Ordernr 11075.
Took me about 25 secs.
Well done. First time I was logged in and having a browse. I think the shop closed at 2.03pm.
I’m interested in a Precista G10 but not in stock.
Yep, finally snagged a HoneyComb, actually refreshed before 14:00 and it was for sale so quickly added to my basket and paid for, been waiting almost a year to get one of these.
Mines just turned up, loving the dial on this, 10 months I waited but it was worth it.

The Honeycomb does look good however, I still prefer it on the Oyster style bracelet but each to their own as they say...
This week I see a couple of Everests for sale on SC around the £220 mark which is cheaper than I’ve seen before. I wonder if this means that the bubble is bursting on these and that they’ll be easier to buy from the website in future.
Just received my Honeycomb.
Ordered last sunday, including duties payed, two days to Arnhem NLD.
Looks great, feels great.
