    🇬🇧 Stunning new watch 👍🏻. You sound genuinely excited about the artwork, and quite rightly so. Unfortunately I don’t do Instagram so won’t be in the running to win. However, I am picking up the new Batman tomorrow from the AD so hugely excited and very lucky. I now have four Rolex (2019 Sub no date - now on a Rubber B strap, 2019 Explorer 1 and a 2002 Explorer 2 Polar). I think for the sake of my marriage after the GMT tomorrow I better stop 😂 Thanks once again for the great content. Always look forward to these 🙏👍🏻

    It's a beautiful watch. Definitely, a thumbs-up move. Is it safe to keep things in a safety deposit box in the UK? Here in US banks are not responsible if something happens to the contents of the safety deposit box. And safety deposit boxes are not federally insured. Just wondering.

    • @LondonWatchCollector
      @LondonWatchCollector  5 років тому +1

      The bank only covers a specific amount on valuables in the safety deposit boxes so unfortunately i still need excess insurance to cover the necessary items, it still works cheaper than me increasing the premium on my house insurance.. here in the UK the SDB are safe (haven’t heard anything yet) fingers crossed

    • @chateaubullion2560
      @chateaubullion2560 5 років тому

      That’s great. At least they cover something. I collect coins, precious metals and watches so first thing I did was look into SDB. When I found out here in US, banks are not liable if contents of the SDB goes missing or damaged I bought a safe for my home. I’ve been keeping all my valuables there.

    My recommendations for your next buy LWC: Buy a yachtmaster, yachtmaster 2, President Day Date, Explorer and Explorer 2 polar dial, as well as a Cellini and a Milgauss. Also go for an Oyster perpetual in a unique colour or the mereorite dial in the Pepsi. You should also look at a Rainbow bezel rolex like a Rainbow Daytona or a tutti frutti yachtmaster (I know it's not your style but would complete your collection).
