A reasonable deal too. :)
Already put that through the checkout to see what I'd have to pay and I'd need to add 0ver £200 to get it. Can't justify the additional cost for a square watch :wink: :wink:

Great suggestion though!

I'm in two minds about the Longines Legend Driver. A lot plus points but something's holding me back.

Does anyone want to hazard a guess whether Oris and Longines watched will feature in the Goldsmiths Xmas sale. No point in jumping for this offer if they're going to be even cheaper in January.

If in doubt don't buy, wait for the sales. Bound to be some amazing deals.

I'm sure there will be some Longines/Oris models in the January sales, but honestly, I doubt the LLD will feature, as it seems to be quite popular. Personally, I found it a bit 'lightweight' when I tried one, and I also thought the hands were lacking some refinement.

The voice of reason. Now some will power until the offer ends at midnight!

Hi,

Forgive me for not going over the original post but can you not wait till the january sales? I bought a Breitling super ocean abyss for £1420 at goldsmiths a couple of januarys back. I couldn't pass up on that deal (went on to trade it in at a dealers for £1500 but probably could have got more for it privately), sometimes the best sale watches are only in store.

I miss all the great things that may never be.

Now that's what I call an incentive to wait for the sales.

I think I'll brave the shops in January to see if I can hunt down a bargain.
