True Guy, but when I put my Pelagos 39 on there for half price, Would people feel the same ?
If I had enough knowledge, I'd go and have a look, it's 5 mins from Me.
What concerns me is, it appears to be his first ad on Gumtree.

One of the more interesting chronos to come out recently. Seems a reasonable price for Longines - COSC, titanium, silicon hairspring et al. 42mm, currently £2690 or £2652 depending on preferred vendor (a further £80 or so topcashback at Chisolm brings it closer to £2.5k).

The Longines L688.4 is basically the same as an Omega 3330, as used in the Speedmaster racing series.

Another Chisolm hefty discount for anyone looking for something a bit different - handwound, 40mm Hamilton pilot style watch. Yours for £1,267.

A blog to watch had a good review about the finer details, and unique innards.

John Lewis are clearing out leather travel watch rolls:

https://www.johnlewis.com/john-lewis-le ... p110377277

£11.40 plus delivery, available in three colours. Not worth the apparent £38 full price but £14 delivered is pretty good in my opinion.

Received today:

Apologies if these have been posted previously - returned to the forum after a long break! (and edited as I've forgotten how to post links)

You convinced me. I had a green one in my basket, but I swapped to blue. I know it makes sense. :D

Market Cross Jewellers have a category of "DISCONTINUED TUDOR" which contains a black Black Bay 41 @24% off.

I have also seen it in WoS in one of its many manifestations.
