Well back in cold Scotland after our two weeks in Crete. We found a great family jewellery shop in Heraklion which Kate and I both had a good mooch around. They were agents for all the big named watches and jewellery. Mati, the owners wife, was a lovely women who couldn't be more helpful. I went in to try on a Rolex explorer 1, (damn you Wrench) and got chatting, I was planning on buying a Seamaster in Black similar to johnnyoldboy's, but when I tried it on there was no instant love! So Mati went and got us drinks while we had a look around, and Kate suggested I try on something completely different! I took her advice and fell I love with it. So here it is my surprise purchase, and it hasn't been off since I bought it.
not what I was convinced I was going to buy, but I suppose that's watches for you!
hope you had a good holiday, certainly came home with a result :biggrin: . I tried one on not long back and was very taken only the overwhelming desire to get a Gs stopped me they are a lot of watch, and a good size for such a watch with complications.

Where are you staying in Crete? They have four shops throughout the island so you may not need to go into Heraklion! There is also a big dealers in Agios Nicolaos which we had a good look around. I paid €2200 which is about £1930, I have seen them online cheaper but I don't know if that is new?
