Well after what feels like 6 long weeks since my burglary, I have had my pay out...

I think I've finalised my purchases - an LV Sub, and an Orange bezel S/S Omega Planet Ocean (I will buy the orange alligator strap too)..

Now, do any of you gents in the UK know of any shops with LV's in stock ? Here's the catch - gotta be :-

Goldsmiths
Mappin & Webb
Watches of Switzerland

If anyone knows anything - I'm prepared to travel..

Can get one from local WOS in 6-8 weeks - but don't wanna wait !!!

Thankfully the PO isn't as much of a problem

Dan Pierce · 28 March 2008, 03:17 AM

Congrats, Dan.

6 weeks is a long time.

CPTL · 28 March 2008, 03:39 AM

Congrats. Good luck on picking up the new pieces.

kcmo · 28 March 2008, 03:44 AM

Great you've finally been compensated! Looking forward to pics of your new watches!

Bobareno · 28 March 2008, 03:46 AM

Glad you got you compension. Good Luck.

frostie · 28 March 2008, 05:10 AM

Delighted for you, Dan - excellent news!!

John, the Manager at Goldsmiths Torquay, is a top gent and he'll give you the absolute best service - guaranteed.

I've bought 5 Rolexes from him in the past 2 years and I definitely wouldn't go anywhere else.

As it happens since I spoke with him, my (more) local branch (30 mins drive) has called and offered the same. I have opted to drive the 8 hour round trip purely on the way I was spoken to on the phone - good service goes a long way in my book, and should be appreciated. The guy is opening his shop up on a Sunday whilst usually closed - what a gent. Pics to follow !!

Great news - I tried on an LV at Goldsmiths' branch in Tunbridge Wells a couple of months back - didn't buy it but the service was excellent - might be worth giving the branch manager a call to see if they can help you out (Sarona - 01892 525 740). Also happens to be a really atmospheric shop only a couple of minutes from the train station in the old high street - there is also an antique watch shop just a few yards along the high street which had quite a few vintage Rolex watches (matt dial subs etc) and what look like a few good places to eat so could be a great day "Rolex shopping".

Art 1 · 28 March 2008, 05:36 AM

Congrats on finally getting it.

Drago · 28 March 2008, 05:48 AM

Hi Dan
Pitty it's gotta be Goldsmiths
Mappin & Webb

Rob.

koevoet · 28 March 2008, 05:49 AM

Laings in Edinburgh had an LV in stock last time I passed.maybe gone now though.Hope thats of Help!

koevoet · 28 March 2008, 05:50 AM

oops sorry,didnt read the full thread there!! Laings wasnt on the list Doh!!

CEG · 28 March 2008, 06:18 AM

Thanks for the help and kind words guys - Woody, will try the Kent AD tomorrow - about 1 1/2 hours away for me - so no probs there

Cheers, Dan

Chris B · 28 March 2008, 06:46 AM

Glad it got there at last Dan

Just a thought, but couldn't you ring the HO's of all three stores & let them have a look at the available stock on their system?

Perdu · 28 March 2008, 07:34 AM

Good choices

SPACE-DWELLER · 28 March 2008, 08:04 AM

Congrats, Dan!

I hope you get the LV very soon!

colemanitis · 28 March 2008, 08:50 AM

Glad to hear your insurance company came through for you. Happy shopping!

Terry Newton · 28 March 2008, 08:58 AM

It's too bad some scumbag ripped you off in the first place. That is one of my biggest peeves in life. I always figure most people work hard for the money they get and then some low life who does not want to work steals from you. Or white collar crime where they steal from everybody - like Enron.

Congratulations on getting your payout and getting some nice watches back in your life.

Terry Newton

OYSTERMANN · 28 March 2008, 09:05 AM

Dan,

Goldsmiths in Torquay had a brand new one delivered last week - I tried it on straight out of the plastic Rolex shipping box. It was great, but I went for the GMT II instead.

When I left last Friday, it was still in the window.

I've got the Manager's details, if you want them - name & phone number etc.

johnnybravo1210 · 28 March 2008, 09:25 AM

I have an LV for sale!!! Too bad I am not one of those jewelers!

Oscar · 28 March 2008, 06:20 PM

G'Day Dan,

So glad that you've received your insurance compensation.

The S/S Plant Ocean is a superb choice.

Would love to see some images when you get them.

Has there been any further on the investigation regarding the offender/s.

Cheers
Michael
