Yes - got it in store. The Battersea boutique. The pink strap version is only available online, but this one was fine to get in store - they had to get it in, though.
Edit - too busy to meet atm or I would show it to you in person, but message if you’re interested and I will send lots of pics.

Grand Seiko 6145-8000, from 1968. Delighted with it.

Went to try a Big Pilot on today… always fancied one, but in the back of my mind kinda knew I wouldn’t be able to pull it off on my 6.75” wrist.
True enough, the lug length was a killer for me.
However, the Big Pilot 43 on the other hand.. wow… perfect for my wrist size.
Hadn’t planned to commit to a purchase today, however … here we are !!
Got a brown strap on the way for it (along with another deployant).. which really suits the blue (they chap in the shop was kind enough to remove the brown strap from their black BP43 and fit it to this so I could see what it was like). I’ll post a photo when I get that strap as I think it sets off the blue dial wonderfully.
Funnily enough Tony, the pilot chrono was next on my list if the BP43 wasn’t working for me. Having previously owned the triple date 3777 model, the blue dial 41 chrono was my banker.
Thank you sir. A white dial BP I suspect would wear a bit larger.. there’s a lot of dial !
My Mint Choc Chip arrived today but quickly went back in its box until Christmas. I'm impressed with how nicely finished it is.

Just received this Oris Whale Shark from Watchfinder.
Not the most popular of brands on here but they're becoming one of my favourites & great value used
^ always liked the dial on that model.

As my OCD won’t allow me to buy vintage, (patina is not for me), I have to make do with the modern versions of the W10. This sits nicely with my Mellor 72 and my PRS 29a.

it was a big decision, but finally
Some seriously good looking watches in the thread recently
I bought the BB36 the second it was released, fearing it would be the only 36mm watch on the market forever. You know, with big lume and stuff.
I have now completed my holy trinity of 36ers with the San Martin.
