    I've owned two Graham before and the build quality was excellent. Never heard of Massdrop before, are they legit?

    They are, although not sure if they will ship from the EU or US on this one.

    Thank you,

    That's what i was thinking too, price would probably jump up higher when the postman hands it over and looks for VAT / Customs

    I will call on Monday and ask, but I have a mate in the US I can ship to and he comes to the UK every six weeks

    Massdrop. are totally legit however they usually ship via DHL or Fedex from the USA with full value declared so and the watch will be held until the duty has been paid add on 21/22 % to final price

    As to Graham nice build but the “ carbunkle” has always put me of.

    Only 2 available. Luckily this is not a pinup version - it would be too hard to resist for me :-)

    Yeah it's a nice design overall, would make a good winter watch so that part could stay hidden under a jumper sleeve.

    How much are they anyway, didn't show price without making an account.

    Yes,best part of another 450-500 import fees on top.

    Lots of Glycine,Ball,Oris and Seiko come up regular on Massdrop,and if your stateside some bargains to be had.Some stuff works out no cheaper by the time you factor fees in though.

    The Glycine that I ordered was boxed and supplied with hangtags but had no documentation,so not sure if come from a Grey market dealer.

    Import fees are the worst part, but some of us have friends who lives behind the great water.
    Glycine is still on the shelves there...

    TBH you could pick one up over here for around £2-£2.5k with no import issues.

    If Massdrop ever does the Graham Chronofighters with the nose-art totty, I'll buy one I promise.

    I think they were limited to 100 each design weren't they? Good job as my wife would kill me if I ordered one of those.

    I actually quite like this one, too large for me but there's some interesting design elements going on with the case which I find quite refreshing.

    I do like this angle, nice curves to lugs and bezel and seventies style wedge indices. Even the crown/trigger section is more tasteful than usual.

    What is the price out of interest?
