Looking at one of these to compliment my Panerai destro and '35 Omega.

The Sinn range appear to have good feedback, but anyone experienced the 917 (either model)? Would I be right in saying @£2k new guys?

Not had a 917 or 956, but Sinn make cracking watches & those are both really nice.

Should be able to get the 917 on a strap for just under & on the bracelet for about £2k from Jura

Factory trip and VAT back at the airport for that money if you fancy a free trip to Frankfurt.

How does that work Ben? Funnily enough we're looking to plan a stag weekend in the next few weeks wink

The factory will do a certificate of some sort that'll entitle you 19% VAT back. The full lot, not the normal tax refund at the airport where they take a cut.

As I type this, I think this might only apply if you are leaving the EU, but as you'll be leaving non-schengen you might get away with it?

There was a thread on Watchuseek regarding this, I'll struggle to find it on my phone though...
