I really like the look of these and they don’t look at all agricultural :wink:

Very cool. Would be better if it didn’t say chronograph flyback on it.

10 and 6 are badly cropped. It's enough to plant a seed of doubt in my mind.

The look is a bit corny.
It might be a grower though.

Not sure I'd plough that much cash into one.

Might find out if they have any good serial numbers left.

I've heard a lot of good things about the brand.

^^^would that not be cereal numbers?

My main concern is if the price rises post 29 March due to reduction in subsidy :lol:

Seriously though, I do like the look of these, probably more so the blue dial.

Just found this review, 39.5mm and $625 price tag (UK possibly £500 or so?)

Tan Barenia leather for me Chris...

My delivery will be a good two weeks later than yours due to distance though... Image

Wow, that was fast :shock:

I must admit I too am tempted as I don't have a chrono in the collection and have been looking for a legible one for a while. This might fit the bill.

Interestingly the video on the Farer website of the 1930's racer on Pendine Sands in Wales shows the watch in real life, there are more shots of the white dial Pendine than the blue dial Ainsdale however it has only reinforced for me that the blue is my favourite.

My leather option would be perforated Jeans, and I'm torn between blue or orange rubber. Decisions Decisions!
