Only if you pay the full AD price for your cigs.

Do you need to have a relationship with your AD to buy cigs though ?

If you smoke Mayfair for 5 years you get put on a list for Marlboro but end up being sold Superkings.

You own the real thing to impress yourself, you wear a fake to impress others.

And a "homage" that's definitely not the real thing?

A real 'homage' doesn't pretend to be, unlike some 'moon watches' and looney pilots.

Since watches hold their value is keeping a collection at home as ill advised as keeping large sums of cash at home?

If a person was telling the forum they have 100k in cash at home in a drawer would they not be told to immediately lodge it for safety?

Or are these watches accompanied by a safe/other security.

Genuinely considering this instead of jumping through hoops to get my first Rolex which was the plan, it's beautiful.

Though you could say the same about other pieces of jewellery - sure that 5 carat diamond ring on MsThirdfox's hand should be locked up in a safe too (to her sadness I'm referring to her imaginary 5 carat diamond ring). If you keep everything locked up in a safe you'd never get the chance to take it out and wear it...

to be fair engagement rings and expensive watches should be insured all risks

unkel

Ours are. Herself lost the diamond out of her engagement ring (which is obviously about 98% of the value of the damn ring) and because it was a named all risk item, we got the full value paid out (minus excess)

Same would happen if you lost your watch while swimming in the sea abroad on holidays or if the watch was taken off you by scumbags with a knife "London style"

So what did you do? Did you add it to your home insurance? (How do you do that?) Or do you need to take out something extra?

You add it to the all risks section of your home insurance.

Yeah, you specify the items individually with their value. That should be mentioned in your insurance document. Your premium obviously goes up and it depends on the insurer and on the value of the items if your insurer wants a valuation done (generally not if individual items are worth less than say 5k each) or more demands (like a safe!)
