An update of the PRS-8 Richmond Spencer.
• 42mm, 46mm including crown.
• Unitas 6498 extensively modified with screwed Glucydur balance with Nivarox hairspring, swan-neck regulator, ¾ top plate with Geneva Stripes and blued screws.
• Alligator grain calf leather strap fitted with signed buckle.
There's a bit of a story to this. It started life as the Armstrong Siddeley which is my most unsuccessful watch ever. My accountant kept banging on about liquidating slow moving stock (annoying). I didn't think that reducing the price of the Armstrong Siddeley would make it moore popular so I decided to remanufacture as the Richmond Spencer.
The movements have been serviced, new dial, hands and caseback were fitted. I definitely paid too much for the highly modified movement and the Richmond Spencer is now priced at £485 which is £126.66 LESS than my actual cost. It's priced to sell because £50K in the bank is better than £70K of stock in the cupboard.
Whilst a Richmond Spencer may be made again in the future, it will never be made again to this specification.

Looks great. I would go for this if I didn’t already own the first version!
Looks a great value watch (as usual, I suppose!).

Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?
Last question: lug to lug?
Honestly Eddie - this is a fantastic watch. I used to have a Dornblueth 99.1, and this watch is a strong competitor in terms of movement finishing and dial/hand quality. Hopefully the lug-to-lug is reasonable given the large diameter.
