That didn't take long Steve. :wink:

The pale grey of blasted case, with a matt light grey dial and polished markers are a bit tricky to photo under my bright kitchen lights, but it's a very stylish piece.

It will be going off to Elliott Brown on Monday for a new crystal, which is scratched can be seen in the two photos above, at around 1 o'clock.

Cost; £37 including return postage.

Excellent Guy. I like bead blasted case and bracelet, they match well with the dial in grey...what a fine colour!

Cheers Patrick.

It would be your 'namesake' watch. :lol:

Case and bracelet are the same vapour blasted grey as my Page & Cooper Project 354 Holton Professional.

Its quite striking, difficult to photo, and no doubt a somewhat 'Marmite' colourway to many, but naturally I like it.

We are all hear to learn.

If you do a search in the 'Other brands' on here there are a few topics on them.

I’m liking that Guy, love the dial colour and bead blasted case/bracelet. Elliot Brown do some great looking watches.

Not quite all of them Nick. I am leaving a few for others. :lol: :lol:

My Elliot Brown sub-collection now runs at;-

Canford - 5
Bloxworth - 4
Holton Professional - 2

Got two of the Canfords back from EB this morning, having had new batteries fitted. Turned around in 7 days or so. :thumbup: :clap:

Guess you like Marmite too, Chris. :clap:

Its one of their newer, more adventurous, colourways.
