Went to AD... the only stock of the watch I want is the one on display

Any issues buying a display model?
For display set, discount have to kick in. Otherwise I will walk away.

What if they say is only been on display for 1 week
Those TV you see on display during IT fair... Many of them are brand new. If any customers insist on buying display sets, they will usually give display set discount

Bargain base on facts.

"Already opened"
"Unwrapped"
"No longer BNIB"
"Would you buy a display set TV or laptop which is already opened, touched countless times at BNIB price?"

How is the tritium? I thou the black dial version is nicer.
Decent, but I had very reasonable expectations as I'm aware that tritium is never going to beat Superluminova. For the initial charge that is. I'd say look at fully charged C3, wait 30 min. That's the level the tritium will be at when new.

I have way too many black dials.

there is an element of truth to the T word -

"According to secret documents issued to interrogators at Guantanamo Bay, obtained[6] and released by The Guardian, "the Casio F-91W digital watch was declared to be 'the sign of al-Qaeda' and a contributing factor to continued detention of prisoners by the analysts stationed at Guantanamo Bay. Briefing documents used to train staff in assessing the threat level of new detainees advise that possession of the F-91W – available online for as little as £4 – suggests the wearer has been trained in bomb making by al-Qaeda in Afghanistan."[7] United States Military intelligence officials have identified the F-91W as a watch that terrorists use when constructing time bombs.[8][9][10][11][12]

This association was highlighted in the Denbeaux study, and may have been used in some cases at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp.[13] An article published in the Washington Post in 1996 reported that Abdul Hakim Murad, Wali Khan Amin Shah, and Ramzi Ahmed Yousef had developed techniques to use commonly available Casio digital watches to detonate time bombs.[14]"
