Watches of Mayfair are grey market not AD, hence the solid discounts. I shouldn’t think you’d get much of a discount out of the London GS boutique, if anything. Which sucks because it seems that ADs in the US are pretty happy to.

Having checked out the three dial variants now I’d say the white is my favourite, very closely followed by the blue. I found the black dial a bit matte/charcoal for the overall level of polish.

It does have a crown on...
-
Mm, I have thoughts about that, not for here though.
I was partly selling mine to fund the Rolex, ended up not needing to so I’m not desperate to move it on, but it’s still not being ridden at the moment. Not because it’s not a great bike, just because I have no storage solution for it.
Maybe the market for custom bicycles is collapsing as everyone moves onto Swiss watches.

The measurements I’ve seen are identical. The weight makes a massive difference though, I’m sure. Plus the titanium ones are more brushed and less polished (tops of the lugs especially).
-
Now you see that’s interesting, isn’t the case the same size and shape as the blue dial one, apart from being titanium and having different polished/brushed treatments? Was it just the weight that made the difference? I like the winter one with the dial that looks like galvanised steel.
-
Yeah, they had that too, I thought it worked very well in the metal. Not OTT.
This, on the other hand...

Thank you very much! I really appreciate you doing that.
Yeah, I popped to the Knightsbridge GS boutique today, obviously they didn’t have that model but several of them are a very similar size overall. The autos are just a bit too thick I think. I don’t reckon they’d work on a strap.
The 39mm hand-wound models are a great size and shape though, I totally agree. Wasn’t sold on the charcoal dial but the white one is very nice.
-
Nice. Actually quite tempted by the black dial one.
Feels bad man. There’s definitely a push from many manufacturers to put an end to discounting. I saw Ben Clymer weighing in to the comments when Hoodwinkee became an Omega AD saying “no more discounts. Period” or something like that.
