The one I posted was a random google pic. Long story short I have a guy servicing my jlc. We got to talking about what we wanted and I mentioned the galbee. He had one in his safe.
The pic was just a random one off the net. He called me today to see if I was still interested and a little chat then bank transfer and this is my new watch.
You did have me panicking for a moment that it was a quartz lol. That would be typical me to negotiate a price on the wrong version but this time the watch gods we re on my side.
But, cool watch MA. Well done.The pic was just a random one off the net. He called me today to see if I was still interested and a little chat then bank transfer and this is my new watch.

Always been after a Panerai and courtesy of Dom our resident watch dealer I have just placed a deposit on this. Pam312 1950 marina. Now all i need is a few more straps!
Anyone thinking about buying a watch have a chat with Dom, he has the patience of a saint as I change plans, ideas and the struggle to pay him as i am an idiot! And to top that off from what i can tell his prices would be difficult to match from any other “bricks and mortar” place.
New arrival today. I feel like I've bought a Rolex, this watch has taken 8 months to arrive! Shop said it would be 4-6 weeks. Heard nothing for ages, so emailed them, nothing doing, waited another couple of months emailed them, nothing doing! 
Emailed customer services a Sinn to see if it was a hold up their end, they said no, we'll get in touch with the shop.
Two weeks later it's arrived, just short of 8 months later!
Never mind, it was worth the wait, it really is a lovely watch and it was at a good price.

That’s terrible customer service, fancy giving a veiled hint as to who they might be so other could theoretically avoid such service?!

Having always worn a Garmin, I decided to treat myself to a couple of new watches, a bit of a midlife crisis I suppose. Already own a Formula 1 but really liked the Calibre 16 version.
I know I could have got a lot more for my money second hand, but YOLO as the kids say...
Small fry to most on here I know.
