Its £3600 from Jura (potential 10% off too if you sign up with a new email address) and limited to 30 pieces. The box it comes in is amazing!

Applied for finance... Very nice watch

Some nice watches there. My ones haven't seen the light of day since I bought an Apple Watch 2 years ago :rolleyes:

Yeah me too, had to get something to keep the fitness up after these sedentary years.

That's a gorgeous watch...

The Cuervo will be with me tomorrow, can't wait, but I'm off to Wales for the weekend to see what all the fuss is about mountain biking there.

Wales has an epic bike park a mate told me about when we rode Rogate. It has a lift too so you don't have to push yourself up after a ride down!

Look forward to seeing pics when it's arrived, does look very nice, reminds me of a combination of Habring 2 and Seiko's Pressage dial texturing style.

They've got a few there mate, BikeParkWales, Revolution, DyFi. Don't think I'm at that level yet though, they look bonkers. We're doing Gwydir.

Will get some pics up when I get it (hoping tomorrow AM before I set off!)

These are numbered on the side N / 30.

Shop rang me to ask what strap I wanted (went for brown like in this photo) - asked what number I'm getting. They're sending me Number 1! WINNING!

No idea but somehow 'social media', which I've only been using to find local fuel, knows I've been looking at getting a new car.... even though I've got everything from them 'blocked' lol

Probably stuck something else on sites to track us remotely based on IP address or similar.... yes, what a time we live in

I don't need an advert for something I'm already doing :rolleyes:

Excellent! I have to return this press loaner next week but will be wearing it to a product launch night as a lot of folks want to see it in the flesh too.

Pop up some photos soon as you get it bud!

You know where to find me!

Expect a whatapp shortly lol!

illuz · 1 Oct 2021 at 14:27

It arrived two minutes before I left for Wales. Had a little peek, gorgeous. Need to take some links out and brown strap arriving next week. Will take some pictures when I get back, it is number 1 of 30 too! :cool:

illuz · 4 Oct 2021 at 17:42

Back, the watch is gorgeous!

Can't wait for the brown leather strap, but the steel bracelet is also glorious.

Derek W · 5 Oct 2021 at 19:21

Another ridiculous bunch of additions to Producer Michael's collection

mrk · 7 Oct 2021 at 20:15

Is it just me or does that look a bit small?

mrk · 7 Oct 2021 at 20:42

It's 36mm, so yes whilst it is small, it isn't small at the same time given it's inspired by actual classic watches which were all 33-38mm back then.

They are all sold out Not even half a day from release and sold out :/ I was dead set on the silver as well!

Cleisthenes · 7 Oct 2021 at 20:46

Oh fair enough, that makes sense!

Shame, maybe look out for one on the used market? That is if they're not being flipped

mrk · 7 Oct 2021 at 20:48

Sadly not interested in paying flipper prices. I can wait as I did with their Aquascaphe Bronze for several months lol.
