Love both of these - I'm drawn to the spring drive models, but I'd be quite happy to have either of these with an auto movement.

Well I popped into Selfridges last night for a look at what they had, and whilst they didn't have the one I posted above, they did have this, the SBGM023:



Which is absolutely lovely, the picture does not do it justice at all ... it has a wonderful pale silver/grey dial.

I managed to resist, but ...

Could you help me with a link please? I can't see it on http://forum.tz-uk.com but to be honest I can't even see a For Sale section.

Thanks.

You have to be a member with a certain number of posts to see the for sale section.

Just to see it? WTF?

Well, that makes perfect sense, doesn't it. I bet people trying to sell stuff on there love that!




Thanks for the reply though, Podie.

Quoted from TZ -

"You can view Sales Corner if your post count is 50 or more and you have been registered as a member for 60 days or more. You can post in Sales Corner if your post count is 250 or more and you have been registered as a member for 180 days or more"

As has been pointed out you won't be able to see the item on the TZ-UK site but it's also listed for sale on WingTsun's personal website:

The forum owner has his own, unique, way of doing things.

It's supposed to afford a degree of protection from rip off artists.

[OT] I thought it was more because he wanted the forum to be centred around discussion rather than be a free ebay? [/OT]

The forum owner doesn't benefit from sales corner activity - It's a free benefit to the members who contribute to the forum as a whole.

Anyone other than Jura sell them in the UK? I quite fancy a Spring Drive diver like the one posted when I get back from the gulf
