Just my Luck 114060

After not being too sure about the 114060 I gave it another go ordered one from Ernest Jones, was told waiting list was three-four months. Couldn't belive my luck when they rang after three weeks to say watch was in and I could pick it up. Now comes my bad luck, the missus has whooping cough and I have been told I need a blood test to see if I have it and can't go out for 14 days and if I do have it could be up to another 3-4 weeks before I can go out. Had to let the watch go and have been put back on list but now been told probaly won't get it till January as all their allocation has been sold. Good news is missus is now all clear and at least I have one on order, lets just hope nothing comes up when this one comes in.

January? There's one sitting in the window of WoS at the Royal Exchange in the City for weeks now. The same one I told you about before.

Go get it.
