Thanks for your input guys. I did indeed reject it. Water damage twice.. there was no chance i was having it back. The long and short is i upgraded it to 215.90.
46.51.99.001, the newer titanium version.
The whole chirade was a bit of a nightmare. I ended up paying an additional £1,300 for the upgrade. Dealing with the UK brand director who i can only liken to Lord Lucan took what seemed forever and for my troubles offerd me 20% discount.. which in the 11th hour actually turned out to be 20% off the difference in the current price of mine at £5550 and £7100 which was a bit naughty as that was only disclosed post calulation and led me to believe it would have been off the rrp.
Apparently as mine is nolonger ‘current stock’ they suggested getting me one from a boutique which i also rejected as i didnt want a stock item that had been in a cabinet for ages. They then suggested an upgrade which after a weekends thought i accepted. I actually very nearly took the deep black ceramic Chrono at £8640 but after the messing around with the discount, 20% off the upgrade cost was far less than off the rrp so left me with a £2500 bill.
