try on the RG and Ti that they have in there now. If its your first AP you are going to want to get an idea of fit and feel of a 44mm offshore.

Right! I like RG as well, but it's out of my budget. Will they offer discount on RG?

probably not unless you have them send it to the airport. I was meaning more to see how you like a 44mm offshore on your wrist in general. They all wear the same so if the RG is too big the CE will be too. Try them all on before going through the trouble of trying to source a CE.

I know what you mean, but my point is I think both of them as they have black dial

correct. Personally i really like the new CE as i kind of like the blue accents, I just haven't seen it in person yet.

It isn't as loved around here generally as much as the older CE model, but honestly you can't go wrong with any 44. They are all awesome watches.

good luck

You have to pay before they move the watch usually. If the airport store has one you can pay by bank transfer ahead of time and they will hold it for you.

Plus you will get a ton of harrods rewards points too, probably a few hundred £ of in store credit. Join the rewards program if you are not already a member.

They will do it for the cost of over 30k. Maybe the RG could be the choice. Didn't see it though

i haven't run into that issue before. In any case I would still wait until they have one in stock or deal with the airport directly. Generally the only stipulation for an airport transfer is the brand must also be offered at the airport. My guess is they don't really want to send the watch to the airport as that is a discount as far as they are concerned for flying within the EU and they would make more money selling it in the store. I would not tell them that is your plan until they have one, then get it moved. They moved a 15400st to the airport for me and that is way, way under 30k. The other AP i got from them I emailed the airport and they had it anyway so i had them hold it and then booked a flight.

Gassan at AMS airport is pretty good too. You can email them and see what they have too.

I went back to the HK IFC Mall boutique today to check out some other goodies as I was in a bit of a rush on Saturday when picking up my 15202, and the store was super busy with purchases.

They have both 26405CE and 26400IO in stock (they were held in the back). The 26405CE is simply stunning in person. Am I crazy to think I can pull this off?







No discount is available for either, unfortunately.

A jaw dropping spread: (notice the Platinum ROO and skeleton Tourbillon)



The "pounder":





A resounding two thumbs up for the VIP treatment here.

The IFC boutique is a great place to visit.

I'm attaching a couple of shots from my last visit there a couple of weeks ago

LOL, I'm 48:52 in favour of the old design RG. Both are awesome
