@itsaliveJim,

Afraid not, we only sell direct to pubs in firkins, or to public in 8l mini kegs.
The brewery is v small and struggling to survive in a shrinking market and expanding supply.

What a fantastic watch. Blued hands, interesting annual calendar complication, and that amazing constellation back magically blended into a exhibition back.

Classic combination, silvery white dial, blue hands and markers, looks great. It's a real nod to the old pie pan Connies of years gone by...

A very fetching watch sir! It's not only classy, but unique in all the ways that others have mentioned, and I appreciate that.

That has to be one of the nicest Omegas I’ve ever seen

Thank you. The dial is much greyer than my pictures would suggest. I had quite bad natural lighting and didn't want to set up a whole bunch of stuff to get the perfect shot. On the wrist this looks even classier. It's sufficiently understated that i suspect few people will notice it but when they do I hope they think I'm a man of class and sophistication :oops: :problem: :shock: :clap: (yeah right).

Banks Lyon in Lancaster have had one of these in, at a substantial reduction to the Salzburg price, for some time now, but, still well beyond what I can bring myself to spend on a watch!

Thanks Ian. Paying for it was definitely a "close and clench" moment. They gave me an escort to carry it to my car and some beer to recover from the shock! I'm sure your beer is better.

Thanks Ferg. This is rapidly becoming my favourite watch. Totally unexpected but a stunner in real life. Apparently the bezel is tungsten carbide so if I feel the need to grind anything with the bezel I should be good to go. It really is all about the details.

Hi albionphoto,

I think other posters have said all that needs to be said about this lovely watch but Time and Tide did a review of your watch here https://timeandtidewatches.com/in-depth ... -wordplay/
if you are interested.

Thanks Treyford. An interesting review. As for the "Albionphoto" thing the real name is Mark.
