I think it does, yes.

How abut an additional pic of the watches themselves. If memory serves you’ve got the Polish squadron commemorative watch, the artist limited edition watch, and ?????

You will have a few points to spend then Richard, with the double up deal. Anything caught your eye?

My heart says the TRI-11 TW8 Limited Edition but my head says the TRI-01 Small Second COSC in Gun/Teal/Black, would cost me £729.50.

The double points reduction is proportionately better against less expensive watches. They knock the discount off the watch cost before working out the VAT so it adds another 20% reduction to the full price.

I've got about £300 in points, so the least expensive small seconds at 1079 would come down to 779, which is 935 with VAT. Not cheap enough to make it an easy decision for me unfortunately.

Indeed, when I ran my reward points through the checkout the TRI-01 Small Second COSC would cost me £729.50 inclusive of VAT, it’s tempting.

No just someone with more money than sense.....sorry Richard couldn’t resist :lol:
I’ve followed them from the start and had great expectations from Chris....but nothing they have produced has got my interest, plus the scatter bomb advertising has left me cold....
We are all different hope you enjoy your Watches’s....and I will still follow in hope :thumbup:

That's been the only one of interest to me, so would definitely get my vote!

You are probably right. I guess my enjoyment collecting watches does not make sense, as one watch would easily do.

^^^^ and there’s this. A watch without any recognisable homage, no numerals, no markers, no lume, not even a logo at 9 yet I’m strangely drawn to it. Perhaps that’s it, I like ‘different’.
