Paul, I think its a kind of watch which will look

on the beach/pool side.
Scott, the watch has orange numbers so it goes nicely with the SLR. Also my beemer is black.
I don't know driving in another way which isn't risky. Each one has to improve himself. Each driver has its limit. My limit is a little bit further than other's.

That will save you having to buy a new car then!! It's a really nice watch though. Its a bit different which is nice. I was thinking of treating myslef to a new watch. The new gearbox and now a new engine has put a stop to that though.

Nice things about the watches. They are cheaper and don't break down often.

Paul
The Baume and Mercier is a nice watch.........has a bit of a "perma tan/ Monaco /Ferrari 360" look about it.
Panerai Luminor Submersible with rubber strap .....for the same money would be a good one to compare it with?

Latest trade talk around watches centres on this German company.
Husband and wife produce quality watches with swiss automatic movements in limited numbers............think Bremont /Sinn at half the price
When they (intermittently) become available ....they sell for £300 - £400 overs
I am currently on the waiting list for the DC66 (the black faced one).... so will see if the quality is as good as the web talk

Neil, the watch is made in Italy with the Japanese Miyota movement.

Strange coincidence this thread has arisen again, as earlier this week I paid a deposit for this:
Will not arrive for another 10 days unfortunately

. Look back this thread and you will see I was considering a Bell & Ross Vintage 126XL. Sinn are basically the original manufactureres of B&R watches. This Sinn 956 has a a valjoux 7750 movement, modified to provide a power reserve display and sapphire crystal backing showing the movement, I ended up going for this instead. Can't wait until it arrives.

German watches are definately making a comeback just now. Damasko DC66 is a cracker.
