Ouch they got me at last! Having avoided the sale items I was persuaded to get an Ad Astra, just done the deed! As many of you know I like a bargain within a certain budget, my reasons for getting this one were -

Well it was 30% off!

My logic says that if this watch was introduced today it would not be priced at £250 but quite a bit more, so I am getting 30% off last years price.

I used Quidco which gave me another 5% so I got 35% off really!

I did used to be in the RAF.

Hope I like it when it gets here, and that the bezel is OK. I did buy a NN Ascari last year but sent it back as the bezel was chipped.

...and more importantly to 495 for non ec but unfortunately for me, that's still $775 US so I am passing on it unless someone on here wants to give me $700 for the similar carbon-fiber faced Hamilton I have listed for sale in the non-CW classifieds section? :thumbup:

Sadly it isn't! :(

I clicked on it yesterday, but it states out of stock in the small print.

I agree it's a stunner, and would have been perfect for Hols!
