    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!
