Paul, I think its a kind of watch which will look 8) on the beach/pool side.

Scott, the watch has orange numbers so it goes nicely with the SLR. Also my beemer is black.

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

:cheers

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.
