Here is another one I could see, without this logo, though. Credit: Watches of Knightbridge. ...

Yes, so difficult to find.
I would never have found one if my good friend Mark Tan (RIP) had not decided to move his on.
Congratulations
I have just got mine not too long ago! I have been hunting for it for a long time ! ...
