If you are being offered a favourable price to change.................why not

I think the current market trend will move away from the plethora of sports watches to more discreet and understated timepieces

One of my customers has that exact one; I tried it on but felt it was really small (and I have small wrists). I would prefer what you have but it's all personal preferences and what you like.

Without knowing the condition and spec of your royal oak
It's got to be very close to the value of the Patek

Make up the difference in your premium ground coffee!!

Feel sorry for the shop assistants there, must have been a bit scary that. Wife got a watch from Rox recently and the girls were really friendly "pop in for a drink and a chat next time you are passing".

Agreed, really friendly staff and its the sort of thing that will screw you up for a while. Was there not a hammer through the window smash and grab on George Street last year ?

There was one a few months ago at the pawn shop up the road from me, similar story with two guys on a bike in broad daylight. Got away with a few rings and 2 or 3 Rolex
