Yep, that's the one - I'm guessing from your replies that this is no longer available either.... I'm beginning to see a pattern in my watch tastes!

The C70 series are usually released as a limited edition of 500.

There are definitely 2 - both in the US though (I'm UK based) does anyone know if there are additional taxes / duties that need paying if I buy a watch from the US and get it shipped to the UK?

You will need to pay VAT (20%) and usually the courier company will pay the VAT for you and you reimburse them plus about £15 for their fees even though you did not ask them to do it for you.
