We went to a wet Whitby on Wednesday, watch shopping for the wife. And visited Watches of Whitby, a store owned by our very own Alexaff.

We've had a good look around York and Harrogate recently trying to find the perfect 40th birthday present – and no dealer locally carries as much stock as Watches of Whitby. Crazy to think even ladies watches are now a waiting list only option and AD's can't guarantee they'll be able to supply a watch for the Mrs 40th birthday next month. Fortunately Whitby is not too far away for us, and it's a lovely place to visit any time of the year.

Served by Mike (also a TZ member), we looked at a fantastic selection of watches and eventually settled on a 28mm new model Datejust. The shop is on one of Whitby's beautiful cobbled streets (Church St) at the foot of the 199 steps and is well worth a look in, if you're in the area. Not just for watches but straps, boxes and other accessories too.

It's a lovely shop with friendly and obviously very knowledgeable staff. Highly recommended!







What we left with...



And a mug and coaster too. We'll be back again next time we're in Whitby.
