Depends if she likes, um, "niche" watches or not, I guess.

Bloody hell.

You bought an 11 grand watch?

On a whim?

From eBay?

Without permission?

Brave.

Or stupid?

Is this one that retailed at $62k when it came out?
Limited to 50 pieces?

Have you seen the ridiculous prices asked for these on the grey market? When I asked my AD for one (an age ago) I never thought it might be an 'investment'. (This one's a keeper anyhow; I'm smitten with it.) OPs are now regarded as part of the Rolex 'professional' range apparently. Demand high (accessible price), supply limited; you know the rest...

Not actually a watch but a rather nice Sinn 60th anniversary catalogue. Available for free from their website.

Very nice. I'm after a 36mm one for my wife for a big occasion.

Absolutely love that! Closest I’ve seen in wackyness to an Alain Silberstein, who I’ve just not had the bottle to buy. This seems like a low risk venture so will be ordering the ELECTRICIANZ WATCH ELECTRIC ART CABLE Z

Can’t wait! And thanks for the prompt!!

Aaah Alain Silberstein, Spooky you should say that - I have to wait a further 2 months before Mrs T6 allows me to wear this

[rog007]

Spooky indeed!

I’d love an AS, but just don’t have the bottle! Looking forward to hearing what you think of it.

Looking at the rest of the range it would be my guess that the watch is just the subdial, all the various other available gubbins that fills the adjacent space is just faux.

Yes I think your right, it's just a Miyota 2033 movement and some gubbinz,
It takes a 3v battery and an electrical module to convert the 3v into the 1.5v.
It's just a funky watch that caught my eye ..... I but of fun and novelty in a grey & boring world

On another note - incoming maybe tomorrow

Not a "true" GMT as such; it's the GMT hand which is quick set.

Thanks. I am on the look out for 'true' GMT watches. The only ones I am aware of are Rolex GMT Master & Explorer. Omega Seamaster GMTs. Maybe Tudor GMTs? and the Seiko Sportura kinetic GMT.

Being the only one south of £3-5k I have the Seiko. If anyone is aware of any others please let me know.
