i'm probably going to be hung for this, but.....

personally i dont see the huge attraction others see. firstly the watch has a dial set up to look like it carries a V7750 calibre underneath which means that there are millions of watches out there that look the same, secondly there are far too many 'sports personality' ltd editions that (hopefully) will be worthless a few years after that personality retires and disappears from the limelight, thirdly the price, but that a personal matter so i wont go into it, and finally 60% of a huge amount is far too much for a used one IMHO especially as its an older watch. 40% of new for a new model is more like it, but they do hold their price very well so perhaps 40% of new for an old model is fair.

those are just my opinions, but if you like them and are buying without holding it which i do a lot of you just need to be 100% sure that they are giving correct sizes and details so that you wont be disappointed when it arrives.

i mean no disrespect at all to collectors and lovers of AP watches, but i have possibly the only AP i'll ever buy, the Star Wheel.

i just thought i'd put a -ve edge on the conversation to get the mind thinking.
