Gazzla 23 Posted December 30, 2015 Nicely done, mate! The SARB must have helped pave the way for accepting a smaller size? I'm not a gold man, but I would be all over this GS! Again... wow!!!! Thanks mate. You are spot on sir. I've been wearing the SARB a lot lately as you may of noticed. This is just 1mm smaller, so not a major difference. I seem to be falling out of love with divers and looking at smaller stuff. -_- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It still exist but other "seasonal" priorities have pushed this day back a bit. I really wanted to buy this from a local AD but they are not working with me on the price. It will happen though!

Have you tried Creation? I really have not searched out the online options yet but it looks like that will be the way I go. I wanted to establish a good relationship with a local AD that is really close to my home but even paying cash they are not competitive and flexible in the price.

I bought my Astron from them, saved $700 on RRP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gazzla 23 Posted December 31, 2015 Wow! Quite something. Looking forward to next week on M2M! Not a fucking chance, Graham. I may flip stuff a bit quick, but this is going nowhere. Hmmm, strong echo in here... No but seriously, I don't blame you mate. It's a real stunner and a proper watch. Thanks, it really is special. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
