UK SUb C

Spoke to one od the ADs who's waiting list I'm on today. Confirmed I'm number 5 on the list but that they were expecting their 1st watch in October - could be early next year before I see one - just in time for the bloody V.A.T rise.

I'm on the list with crouch in Cardiff (3rd) and Ernest jones in bristol. I'm hoping the EJ watch comes in first as a friend can get a 15% discount there.

Thanks. Not too hard given how photogenic the dial and bezel are, this is certainly my favourite pic of it so far - will do more in time....

Can you pay for it in advance, and avoid the tax increase?

The discounts not on the watch itself but the method used to buy it.
