I think it's about GBP 5.200 for the BLNR and GBP 4.900 for the LN.

Current retail in the UK for a BLNR is £5950 GBP

So tax free it would be £4958.33

For those interested, price in Euros was a bit above 6800.

What is it with "very understanding" wives/girlfriends and BLNR's...?
My wife did the exact same thing when we strolled into an AD on Maui and they just happened to have a BLNR in stock... I tried it on and then she said "go for it...you've been lusting after one of these for months now and here it is - so grab it before it's sold to somebody else" ... so I did and am very happy.... both with the BLNR and my wonderful understanding wife...
cheers

How many euros was the BLNR out of interest? Great choice, congrats!

I absolutely plan to marry that woman. This time next year!

Lovely story and a beautiful watch.
Did you by any chance fall into a handbag shop after she encouraged you to buy? :-)

Apologies for sounding cynical but after 23 years of marriage i am 20% in on understanding the female mind!

Very nice, congrats and congrats for selecting such a wise fiancee.

I bought my hulk because my (then) fiancee told me to when I was on the fence.
