Stowa just dropped this baby. I dig it. Not sure if I dig it enough to displace Nomos from its place around the top of my wish list, but it's pretty fresh.

Couple of lovely watches there Steve.

Shame about the price rise but this seems to be an annual event by most watch manufacturers these days.

Page and Cooper warned their regular customers about three weeks ago of the impending Sinn rises, and a couple of others.

It's funny isn't it but if I'd taken my first look after the increase I'd have just accepted the price but now, it galls!

You could try looking at chronomaster (I've not used them but think others here have) if that's a 356 it's £1540 with pageandcooper or £1225 with chornomaster I think most of the models are currently cheaper there

Thanks, I'll take a look.It's a 358 but I guess the price differential should still be there? :thumbup:

IIRC Stobievulture put his in the Sales Corner last week/weekend, but it has now completely disappeared! (should still be listed even if no longer for sale). :problem:

ah ok, 'footycrazy' sold one in July on here in mint condition but I didn't see it at the time and there have been a couple on eBay recently too , but I wasn't sure on the condition of them.
My problem is I buy too many 'bargains' if rolled them all up I could buy something more expensive but....I do like a bargain!

Stobievulture bought Footycrazy's and initially just relisted Graham's original FS thread. :oops: :silent:

He then listed the watch in a separate new thread; but this has disappeared. :problem:

If it's the one I am thinking, I don't think it "conformed" to the new norm of including a pic with user name and date of listing? A shame if it was deleted for that reason, as I am sure it would still have sold quite quickly.

An example of clarity and simplicity. The flat profile also means it works fine on a NATO as well.

Saw this on NTH Trading's (Lew and Huey) Facebook page today. Have fallen 'in love' with my regular Phantom, this Ghost Rider LE is really tempting.

I didn't realise when I left the house this morning that I would end up trying on a watch that matched my shirt!

Not a great pic, due to the AD lighting but I was really impressed with the watch.
