Fed-Ex called today

I bought my son this Tudor, he wanted the polar opposite of mine & I managed to find one with these guys http://www.thewatchsite.es/index.asp

Absolutely perfect transaction, answered all my stupid questions with good grace & showed supreme patience when my bank screwed up the money transfer & we had to start all over again.

Meeting my son in London tomorrow (Lord Mayors Show & firework display on the Thames) so he can have it then

I'll tell ya, these Tudors are have so much presence, wouldn't mind another myself

You all have a great weekend guys

Sure Bruno no problem, my son's $2594, mine $2075

Sometimes my son drops by here, so if you do happen to look in David yours was actually $9000


Just said to somebody that I can't believe I didn't buy one when they were freely available, i had the catalogues & they were right under my nose at my AD all along, boy was I stupid?

That's the time of the attempted delivery, I was out, phoned the office number on the "missed you" card when I got in explaining it was a gift & that I'd like it for my son tomorrow, they phoned the driver & he drove 30mins out of his way to bring it back to me.

Great service & nice people, restores your faith in human nature
