The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hello chums,

On Thursday my wife and I were guests of our AD at a Rolex evening at the wonderful 5 Star Grand Hotel in Eastbourne.

The occasion was rather splendid and refined, and thoroughly enjoyable. My AD owner, Ashley Pugh was a wonderful host. The Rolex representative was kind and very much remained in the background.

I did get to try on a number of the Rolex range. The ones I could see me buying were ;

Milgauss white dial
SD Deep Sea
And, sorry, The Yachtmaster II

BUT

I did try on the star of the show, the Platinum Cosmograph Daytona. It has a sky blue dial, a great bezel, no bloody date bubble (Which I really dislike on any watch.). This was the prototype, the real ones are out soon at a mere £50k.

It's a bloody nice watch I can tell you. You do need a wrist of steel to wear it. It's HEAVY which I also love.

Golly, a Rolex I love. Never thought I'd be hearing myself say that.

Thank you to my AD and too Rolex who were there, but never pushing for sales.

A delightful evening.

Davey

Hi Davey,

Sounds like it was a great night out. All you need to do (so that you are not tempted by any offers) is undergo hypnosis or some Breilting retail theory instead.

What you are suffering from is curable.

Nothing wrong with liking the Yachtmaster II IMO Davey - I think it's a great peice, especially now that it's *ahem* "affordable" in SS.

Sounds like you and your Mrs had a good time. I'm clearly off my old AD's list for events like this these days...... probably because it's been a while since I gave him any business! Bit of a shame as I'd been to a few quality evemts like this myself in the past. Never a Rolex one though.
