W.O.S closed.

Well... it didn't take very long but watches of Switzerland are now closed (In my area anyway) had a phone call to advise me this morning. Service centres don't know how long they will be open for in the U.K either.

Every non essential business shut down in Sydney Aus at midday today. Could be six months according to those in the know? Spoke to my SA at the AD I deal with... Felt hollow as all I could do is wish them luck. They SD may not even return - hard to know the outcomes at this stage.

I'm in Sydney all shops are open its mostly cafes, restaurants, cinemas, bars and clubs that are closed that have large gatherings of ppl. We dont want large social events happening.

Inside Westfields all retail are open like hairdressers etc... Dont understand why WOS would close? The most I've seen in there is like 4-5 customers max. Quite easy to practice social distancing at that shop.

I think its because the UK is far far worse off than Australia at the current time. So they just did a complete close of all shops except groceries?

Country wide shutdown of all WOS group stores.

A sensible decision.

They even closed down their drive thrus which seems a bit excessive, saying they can't guarantee the safety of their workers.

My Daytona's scheduled to be back from service in a week or so, looks like that's on the back burner now

The world is pretty much on lock down. When we get pass this, there’s going to be a huge “Boom” of business. Let’s all pray...

You are so correct. Things will turn around fast. We just have to get through some weeks of this damn bug...
