Usual buying rules from the U.S. apply

Find the keenest deal (Usually Florida)

You pay in dollars what we would pay in pounds

Ship it to a friendly US address......then onwards to Abersnecky

Dealer ships it direct to you stating it is a tube of KY Jelly with a value of $3

Why am I telling you..........you're the fcuking procurement expert

:cheers
On the other hand - buy in dollars, go to US for a free holiday based on the amount you have saved ?

Also worth trying Lloyd at the Tag Exchange. Used to be called LloygsTags. I've bought from him... sure he also has an eBay shop.
I have no signature.

Quick question to all teh watch gurus?

Where in Glasgow can i get my Tag Heuer Automatic serviced? I've had it about 5 years now and it's about time I got it serviced.

Thanks in advance!

The battery went the other day
and it needs a new screw down crown.
Sent it to "Chealwatch"

apparently they will polish it up as well & it comes back like new.......

Got the watch back after 2 weeks and i noticed the chronograph buttons were quite stiff.
I just thought that this was part of the service, tighten everything up etc....
a month later the chronograph stop/start button broke. !
10 years i have had this watch & its been perfect all that time.
then someone tinkers with it.........
anyway, it's got a years guarantee with it - so i sent it back 3½ weeks ago ....... still waiting......
Two negatives make a positive but only in Scotland do two positives make a negative - 'Aye right.'

Anyone got anything worth trading against my Submariner or Panerai?
Something of similar value.
