Following my request for help in tracking down a Milgauss GV for my girlfriend I've been overwhelmed by the time and effort that forum members are prepared to make. I really hadn't expected so many helpful ideas and suggestions.

Anyway, following on from that success, I'm hoping to find a GMTII (Steel) for myself. Again most waiting lists seem to be around 18 months long on this model - has anybody happened to spot one of these on their travels? Both watches will be bought on the spot if found!!

I saw a GMT IIc in the window of Micheal Jones, Northampton last week. V serial with the stickers on.
Birmingham, Ernest Jones had one a couple of weeks ago.

where about in the uk are you and how far are you willing to travell?
last week there are 2 GMT IICs at brent cross shopping centre. One at Fraser hart and the other at Ernst jones.
I hope one if them is still there.

Goldsmiths, Clumber St, Nottingham had one in the window yesterday.

Can't believe there is still a waiting list for this model

alcook · 16 August 2009, 10:45 PM

Pop into your local Goldsmiths and checkout their stock list PC. It told me there's a few dotted around the Yorkshire area.

I'm literally about to drive into their Leeds AD and pick up one from the Goldsmiths there.

There's also one in WOS in Birmingham City Centre. As I tried it on at the beginning of the week. No one else had one.

al_bongo · 17 August 2009, 01:00 AM

Can't believe there's a waiting list on this one. There's usually one on display, though not always, in one of the 3 Glasgow AD's.

For sure they hang around longer than the sub dates.

taffytoon · 17 August 2009, 01:31 AM

I tried one on in Crouch in Cardiff on Saturday, even offered a little discount.

mattyguk1 · 17 August 2009, 01:51 AM

Try David M Robinsons - St Anns Square, Manchester City Centre. They've had one in the window for a couple of months now. Certainly no waiting list.

Sailor66 · 17 August 2009, 07:34 AM

Pykes in Birkenhead had one in their window Wednesday lunchtime

timepieceaddict · 17 August 2009, 08:42 AM

When I was at my local AD last week, they had the GV and the GMT IIC. Worth popping down my way to try them.
G H Pressleys in Worthing. They are a local independent quality jewellers.

Rydal · 18 August 2009, 04:22 AM

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!! Thank you to everybody for all your help, I have this afternoon put down a deposit on a GMT IIc in Ernest Jones in Cabot Circus, Bristol. Its currently being sized and I will be collecting it later in the week. Now for that elusive Milgauss!! Thanks again, this is a great forum with some fantastic members. Rich

esm · 18 August 2009, 06:02 AM

congrats Rich and good luck with the GV search.

alcook · 18 August 2009, 11:10 PM

Well done mate.
I picked up one a few days ago and it really is a stunning watch...
I reccomend the Bezel in the light my toilet gives off (simple energy saving bulb in a smallish tiled room) as it looks creamy grey...
