“But my darling this I’m sure is my last watch purchase I promise”

lol congratulations 🍾🎉. You did you best to resist but half off…you never stood a chance really..😉😂

It wasn’t a fair fight really was it… and it pays to be polite and that’s the only reason I got it of course, wouldn’t want to be impolite and say no would I 😂😂😂

Absolutely 🤫😉🤭

I bought this watch yesterday at a discount of about 33%. THB I can't believe that they're offering this watch discounted, the dial is at least the equal of many of my more expensive watches & is miles ahead of anything else I have in it's price range.

It's not that far off Grand Seiko's dial quality from the models I've seen in their range.

ps The Glacier Blue GMT dial is absolutely stunning as well.

The dial is without doubt on a GS level, ok the movement and finishing may not be, but the dial is certainly. Throw in the discount, and it’s a genuine steal of a watch isn’t it. Congratulations to you!

Absolutely it's a steal. I reserved the Glacier Blue GMT yesterday also but it's twice the price of the SPB333. If anyone else out there gets the chance to buy the SPB333 at a reduced price, grab it with both hands. I honestly think it's the biggest bang for buck watch I now own.

I got mine for £600 and quite frankly that’s ridiculous. What the AD didn’t know was that I had already decided to get this in the new year at the RRP, so it’s a win win 😂😂😂

Whilst I was hijacking a bus full of pensioners to pay £833 for mine, you were offered to steal it directly from the retailer without any need for violence. Fair play, that is absolutely the bargain of a lifetime. Good to hear, these moments don't come along very often.

ps Can I have the name & number of this chap please, I feel I could be his friend 😀

If he’s following WC and this thread he may not be working for them much longer 😂😂😂

Well were anything drastic to happen to him I'd be very willing to provide an excellent character reference for him, despite never having met the man :)

That’s so funny!! I’m tempted to ask if he’d like to stay at mine so I can protect him properly. Selfless act on my part of course, and has nothing to do with my intention to purchase the SLA055 Antarctica soon 😂😂

White birch of divers

Yep, it really is… just an amazing dial…

"But my dear, I got it for 1/2 price! Now I can buy you something! 😍"

Ummmm…. Maybe I should have consulted with you first as that would have been a better answer 😂😂 in my mind I was thinking I can get the mudman g shock with that saving

Congrats! Who could pass up the Seiko "White Birch" for 50% off...

Great deal...glad you didn't pass that one up.

I was only able to get 25% off on mine...looks like I need to find a new AD...

Yep, even though I have it with me it’s still hard to believe I got it at that price…. Father Christmas came in an AD sleigh for me this year lol

It’s such a good dial…. I think this AD may have to be on my Christmas card list 😂😂. 25% off for this watch though is still brilliant when it’s as near as dammit a GS dial

Luckily my wife doesn't pay much attention. I haven't bought super expensive watches but I've brought home more than one. Zelos is getting ready to launch an aventurine titanium skin diver. Any day now. I'm screwed.

😂😂😂😂 I’ve found the delivery to a collection point rather than my house this year, has provided a much needed foil to my collecting habit. Because she often says “they all look the same to me” she rarely notices a new one 😂😂😂 hmmmm that new Zelos looks a belter, they are superb, and aren’t available for long are they, they get snapped up tremendously quickly

There and gone quickly. They sell out fast

I got the hammerhead bronze and I was amazed at how quickly they sold, but just how good value they are. I love Zelos…

Wow I wish I could get those offers. Congrats 🥂

Thank you! Part of me is delighted I get these offers, the part that doesn’t is my bank account…😂😂 it’s a nice surprise Xmas gift to myself

Sharing is caring 🫣

They do say that don’t they… I’ll be more than delighted if the AD wish to do more sharing in 2024! Do you have any 2024 watch buys lined up?

Haha I have a couple of Seiko watches on my wish list.

Ooooh that’s a cracker! I’m tempted to give Christopher ward a go next year, I’ll always get seikos, but I’m trying to be more selective. I also want to get another CWC, it’s a toss up between the ward and CWC for my next one.

I am a Seiko man through thick and thin. Got my second Astron late November

The astrons are a great watch. I think I like them more because they fly under the radar a little. Their size is also right up my street.
