Nothing stopping you sending it RM or something just swallow the cost. Or maybe contact support and see if they can sort something

So you say you just got a 'watch' but it's just one that's worth £13k-16k and also you can spend that kind of money without telling your partner. Blimey, I take it that's how the other half lives. But very nice watch, good for you. Wow

Without getting into too much detail I didn’t pay anywhere near the prices you’re quoting. Prices for watches are dropping but resellers have stock that they paid high for and are trying to recoup on only VC or AP are really holding value oh and of course the Daytona chronograph
SWMBO doesn’t tell me what she spends money on or where the next rescue dog has come from ������
To add, I’m not ‘the other half’ far from it

I've not worn a watch in 14 years since I started working in a cleanroom without access to viewing it, so now I just don't bother.

Re: What have you just bought?
I hate clocks, The only one we have is an antique French secessionist clock which randomly chimes when it feels like it and gains 10 minutes every day. It's got an attitude that I admire, refusing to behave and doing its own thing.
I collect vintage Swatch watches and do wear them, I have just found, and bought, a Vivienne Westwood 1992 Cherub Watch that I have had on my wish list for a couple of years.

Re: What have you just bought?
I owned just over half a dozen of low-mid priced watches from Seikos, Tissot and a couple of Citizens watches. Nothing too expensive or high end.
I did try a Rolex on but it just didn't feel right for me in a lot of ways. I found one I liked that was on my wish list for a long time which was the Omega Seamaster and I'm totally content with it. It's all I've ever wanted and I'm lucky to own one. Since then I've then stopped looking and totally lost the desire to buy or wear anything else. So it probably ended up saving me money buying other watches to collect. Also at least my Omega has increased in price since if I ever sell it, it'd make a bit of a profit.
My wife is happy as she has now claimed all of my other watches as her own apart from the Omega obviously.

The Seamaster is a beautiful series of watches
Watch collecting is a funny old game, there’s always that ‘oh just ore more’ which inevitably leads to several more. Congratulations on having the restraint to stop buying !!!
Right now I’m looking at and choosing between
Rado Captain Cook chrono
Omega speedmaster moonphase
Christopher Ward C1 Moonglow
Tag Heuer Carrera Chronosprint X Porsche Special Edition
Zenith Chronomaster Sport
