Went watch shopping at the weekend for my daughter's 18th (next week).
Staff in High Street Jewellers and Department stores are funny
😗. You'd think with 15 years or so in the industry they'd be able to suss out their customers a bit better. Never even engaged me about my own watch ('69 Speedmaster) and I ended up having to put it behind my back as the watch talk got so basic that it would have been embarrassing if they did eventually spot it.
Did go back in on the Sunday to try and give them the sale but have ended up ordering this online from the UK as it's one of the last few available with the Tuning Fork logo at 12 on the dial; the new batch have a standard 'stick' marker like the other hours now. It's just landed at Brisbane with DHL so should see it tomorrow. It's going to be huge on my daughter's wrist, but it was evident that she liked rose gold and she's proud to have an automatic and a Bulova (her Dad's also got one;
😉 1970 Snorkel ). The colours work really well with her skin tone but we may have to get a shorter strap .
Will get a wrist shot next week.
Let's hope this piece of 'French" engineering
😬 can compare to the quality of the 'Swiss' quartz Gucci that we turned down.

High St retail $ is terrifying
😲
WR is very disappointing for this day and age though
🙁
Have also been very lucky myself with some one picture eBay listings of old Omega 'literature' this week but I'll wait until they are confirmed on the plane before sharing those
🤔 😒
