Bad luck, but this was overdue, if we all hunker down and behave you might not have to wait too many months to get it.

If they call Rolex dealers "non-essential," they need to reevaluate their use of that word.

The British Government has also closed all car showrooms, which means that my new car which was due to be collected on Thursday is not now going to be available to me.

But in all honesty, I would rather be indoors, looking after myself and keeping the virus at bay than having a shiny new car on my drive but not able to drive it.

There will be plenty of time for cars and watches once we have this virus beaten.

Stay safe everyone.

All in due time! Hopefully your AD sent you pics of your new Pepsi to help with the separation anxiety.

We are getting more reports that this virus can be pretty savage even if it does not kill you, so I am more than happy to take any measures to prevent anyone I know from contracting it.

Is there no WIS outrage at watch shops not being classified as essential? The horror.

Congrats in advance! That wait is going to be worse than the FedEx "out for delivery" to show up.

“Inconceivable” that someone considers Rolex AD non-essential!

Thanks for all your Congrats (even if a little premature!).
Oxfordian you just reminded me. I was due delivery of a new car at the beginning of April.
