You could be right, this is my seventh. There again, many watches of various brands have come and gone leaving a hardcore of about 14. We'll see.

Great buy - so are you looking to off load your DSSD now you've got the grail?

Hi all

I have a 7T32 Seiko chrono coming sometime next week, Bought off facebook for £20 posted!! The crystal could do with replacing though as there's a couple of chips out of it!!

The watch apparently works fine and comes with five spare links that were removed, I reckon it will need a polish too!

Beautiful !

There is something special about the watches which were developed along with international air travel.........

Yes it certainly was, bit of a nightmare driving through the centre of Barcelona though.

Might do but they are very different. The other half says I can't keep both so might have to let one go!!

For me the Daytona would stay but I'm guessing you may want to unload the Daytona for a profit?😉

Got this at £2600 brand new from AD today which was a no brainer at that price point. RRP is £4450. Lovely thing.

Ignore the manky wrist - I was bitten last week by a mate's King Baboon Spider and I've had a wrist splint on all week as the bite has damaged a tendon - just took the wrist splint off for the pic.

If i have to let one go i think it would be the Deepsea.

I did inquire what the Daytona could be worth but was not that good compared to what they (well known re-seller) sell them for.

But surely you'd get some great offers if the sale was private? 😉😉😉😉

Wow's that a heck of a deal - bought mine 2 weeks ago for considerably more though still a good deal. It is a very cool and distinctive watch and a touch classier than the Calibre 12 version in my opinion. Hope you really enjoy it and that your wrist heals fully as quickly as possible.

And speaking of JackW, this lovely 1970s electronic Tissot recently arrived all the way from the Netherlands. I really like the deep grey of the dial with the aged lume and orange ring of minute markers, as well as the delightful sweep of the second hand.
