OK, further to my moaning post this morning:

The AD is basically awesome. The resolution is that they are going to put in a brand new movement. Wow, I say, just wow! I will call them Monday and they will tell me when it will come in. They will collect the watch from my workplace and put the new movement in immediately. Totally minor inconvenience for a watch with totally new important bits.

Whilst we were there, we took the opportunity to see if there was anything else she might like instead, as they were offering a full, unconditional refund. Not a great stock today and the pictures are not great. The Blue Sub 'rack', though, is awesome. Nothing compared to her Bluesy, so a new movement it is. Frankly, I think it is a great offer by them.

Did I get a result?

Thanks for all the advice to all you good people.

Kind regards,

Michael.

That's an ad that has earned your business and you stick with! Glad it worked out. Love the wg sub!

I'd say you got a great result.

Oh, man, what can I say?! It was a £15k upgrade if I went for it today. He knows me and knew it was a bit of fun. What a beast it is. I though my TT was a beast, but this fella has it truly beaten. Fantastic watch, just amazing. The serti dial on the TT, though, is not at all nice, in my honest opinion. The black and white Milgauss watches...also a big 'not for me'. I am fairly stubborn with watches and I am fairly neutral about most things outside of a Sub, which I find mesmerising in most of their forms. A bit blinkered, I know.

its that extra mile i would guess other ADs wouldn't go and thats a reflection on both price and service!

Glad it all worked out and got some stunning watched there.

ps shit shirt. United

bgriz · 10 July 2011, 03:34 AM

Great outcome

dddrees · 10 July 2011, 03:45 AM

Sounds like a great resolution. Very little down time and they are replacing the movement. Good deal.

Great PICs also, thanks for sharing.

Is that Mappin & Webb, St Anns Sqr by any chance???

Good outcome and some nice watches.

Shame about the shirt/jacket though

Joey_V · 10 July 2011, 06:44 AM

You done well bud... that's a good resolution to your issue.

And I say.. the Smurf Sub is AWEsome!!!

Hodog16 · 10 July 2011, 06:48 AM

Agree WG sub is awesome. Maybe one of these days we'll both have one on

.

As an Arsenal fan I have no room to speak about the shirt. Our quadruple quickly became a 0 this season, although it was satisfying to beat Barca finally.

DCgator · 10 July 2011, 06:51 AM

Good for you. Great AD too!

HL65 · 10 July 2011, 07:05 AM
