Bringing back the 70s
Discussion
Well it's arrived and I have been wearing it for a couple of hours... I genuinely don't know what to think yet.
The office think it's hideous, I think it's 'weird' for want of a better word - I have had a couple of re-edition Monacos and all of the other TAG re-editions too barring the Silverstone. Then this came up and I thought why not have a punt at the original. Thoughts?
It's a birth year watch for me, I guess it's made me realise how old I actually am
Condition can only be described as NOS, tiny ding on the case but otherwise mint. It's just so... weird...

Very nice mate.
I've got the reissue version and it does feel a bit odd compared to a conventional watch. Never really gelled with mine but I suppose i just didn't take the time to get used to it. Probably only wore it half a dozen times and reverted to a Panerai when I fancied something brown and chunky.
Wear it for now as you know it will be gone in a week!

I really like it... What size is it? Being of the larger dimensions myself I'm usually put off older watches as they look quite small on me.
Honestly I'm not sure, I'd guess at 42mm but the unusual shape makes it look different to other 42mm watches! I;m looking forward to wearing it out in town tomorrow which is a good sign 
Stuart, did you sell your re-edtion? Would have loved to have compared them side by side.

Feel free to play with mine (that sounds very odd and not in a good way!)

so the PP is becoming reality after the taste of the AP little brother
Exactly so 
The hitlist, some gone, others being sold:
AP Royal Oak Offshore
Breguet XXI
Monza Calibre 36
Breitling Aerospace
Breitling SuperOcean
Breitling Cosmonaute 809
Omega Speedy Pro
Heuer Carrera 1553 (1970s)
Heuer Carrera 45 (1960s)
All to be pooled for one poxy Patek
It had better be worth it
spotted the XXI, which I love but also have too many mid range watches and will pick up a Black Bay when i'm in Europe in May; so need to do consolidate and have fewer, but better pieces.
having said that i've had the Speedy on for the past couple of months apart form the odd change for events or specific things. it's a bloody illness!
