Got the treatment today

Went to Canterbury today for my annual shopping trip.
Well, you know what it's like. Your standing in a street full of miserable people desperately seeking that elusive Christmas bargain. Not me, i think to myself. I'm off to the Rolex shop.
So i do a little window shopping, making eyes at the Milgauss noir and the GMT IIC when someone appears at the window. I gesticulate about a GV. Sorry. No can do. Out he comes and makes a little small talk. Come inside and try something on. Ok.
So i try the said Millie. Along with the GMT. Then a quite beautiful LV. Shall i try the DJ with polished bezel and stick batons? Oh go on then!!!
I love Canterbury. Deep joy.

Sounds like the Canterbury AD has some good stock... did you buy anything?

When I was last in London, the central ADs had nothing in SS... two ND Subs was all I could find...


Cheers
