Be aware some 'Staff Discounts' don't kick in until a length of service has been completed.

I very much doubt you will get any discount within your probationary period.

Can’t you just add it onto your home insurance? I'm pretty sure (on our one anyway) you don’t even have to specify valuables unless they cost more than £1,500. My Tag is on as a general item but my Omega (insured for £6K and my wife’s diamond ring insured for £7K) are covered under all risks and I’m pretty sure I only pay around an extra £60 odd quid a year for the pair of them. Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

That Tag F1 is very smart, definitely the metal strap.
I have a Tag Link that I wear as an everyday watch, shouldnt really! If had a spare £1k the F1 would be tempting. Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

I swear that sometime soon I’ll be posting that I can now get the watch for free

So, further research has revealed that if I order the watch from Ernest Jones online (I can have it delivered to the store where adjustments can take place) and agree to sign up to their email newsletters, I get 10% off. Therefore the watch gets knocked down to £900 but I then place an order for a £900 gift card with my 17% discount so only have to part with £747.

£253 off the starting price ain’t bad  LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

Some people don't want to work for 11years ........ they don't mind about discounts .........

Hi Steve D, why has no one mentioned a proper watch, Breitling! I have one and find it absolutely brilliant, not keen on wearing it when welding or shooting or most things really. Maybe me being a bit picky but I think Rolex is a bit common. Dave

Probably because this is a car forum and not an aeronautical one! I wouldn’t mind a Breitling Emergency if I was crossing the desert but not needed on my daily run up the A13.

Well, I’m on the hunt for a fourth watch for my collection - got the go ahead from the wife. I’m looking for a SMP 300m. Possibly even a chrono version. I really like the blue faced version. No rush, got to be at the right price though - I refuse to pay full retail for one!

Absolutely love my SMP - a 2255.80 like the one below, off being serviced at the moment hence stock photo.

Nice.

Had a new strap fitted to my Swatch a few weeks ago, £14

My wife paid £360 for the leather strap and steel clasp for my Speedmaster. Fitted it myself although to be fair to the Omega boutique, they offered to fit it for me if I took the watch up to them.  Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto
