Flipped my first watch.... but a grail has arrived!

[Don1]

As per the title... With a large lump in my throat I passed on my Breitling Hercules, in a part exchange for this beauty. It's amazingly well made, smaller than you think, and quite beautiful. The box isn't bad either!

Say hello to my Crazy Hours...

[Dominic H]

Very much a 'Sagaris' type of watch....

Have fun telling the time after a few beers!

[Don1]

It's certainly fun setting the bugger, and it will only go one direction! But yes, after a few beers, it should be interesting!

I'll probably start the Navitimer search again in the New Year Dom...

First glance I thought "oof, thats a nice blue watch, not sure its very crazy"

Second glance "fk me!" that must be, err, interested to set and surely to read? how does it work then?

It's not as bad as it seems when you get your head round it...

Minutes are correct - ie follow the same pattern as a normal watch. Hours basically "jump", so when minutes pass 12, the hour hand jumps forward 5 hours.

I've always liked crazy hours!

I didnt even notice the hour markers

bloody hell that would do my head in.

I like the watch though

This is it! Congratulations, this is one of my grails as well! Great taste best of luck wearing it. If you are ever thinking of moving it on, please, please, please pm me.

Chris, not a chance - it's part of my grandmothers inheritence!

Been wearing it for a bit now, and I'm falling more and more in love with it. It feels wonderful on the wrist, and it's fine for actually telling the time! It's quite discreet (compared to my B&R 01 pieces), and err... did I say I love it?

Only one problem - apart from a 1976 Navitimer and a Gulf Monaco, I don't want another watch under £65,000 (cheapest Urwerk I have seen). Have I just ruined my collecting for myself?
