As you all know I'm in Portugal atm, and just spotted one of my grails in a shop window...a Citizen Orca. Priced at 249€. Have never seen one for sale before, and Creation are not showing them. Is this a discontinued model, and is 249 too much? Quick response appreciated as home tomorrow. THANKS.
Offer €200 in hard currency (just a joke) and see where that gets you. I can't imagine they will throw you out the shop. Or do it like on that silly David Dickinson programme where they slowly lay £20 notes on the counter until the seller agrees.
If you like it buy it lifes to short, last one I saw was for trade on the other side and I think the trade value was about 200, so show them some good will and let them have their profit. We are all intellectual capitalists at heart.
Crisis averted thank God...looked at it again in the window and saw that it has an integrated rubber strap...looks like there's no way to change for a bracelet...and as I'm not into BDSM, and hate straps, it's a no go...however cheap I could get it for. Phew ! Never noticed that on the Orca before. Safe to say it's off the grail list now.Thanks for all your help, though...I knew I could rely on you lot for help in my hour of need as theres hardly any WiFi here, and researching was difficult. :thumbsup:
Edit. Also noticed that it was the black model, not the blue I was after...and you can get a bracelet.
