Ah, our similar tastes meet again!! :lol:

It reminds me of an American pool table I think, but then that's no bad thing!
Ideal number of watches in your collection = current number of watches + 1...

My first view of them and that Grand Epreuve (France) looked the best to me.

But then again for £1,800 you can buy the set. :D

Still cheaper than a single Omega, Breitling, Tag etc (most them anyway).

Imagine that set in a nice wooden case with a glass lid. Now that would be nice to own! :)

Yes, then you would have a "nice" collection of bog standard quartz chronographs with slightly different colours on them!!!

The first three are in the Nearly New for £209. Is that close enough?

I like automatics but I have no problems with quartz if it is nice enough. I am having trouble seeing why I should pay thousands for a quartz from those big brands in the high street jewlers. Which is where CWL comes in. 8)

I think the set looks a lot better than the indivdual watches, makes more sense when you can see them all together. Wonder how many collectors will get all six, you would neen to be a very keen Formula 1 fan as well as a WIS. :shock:
No more Quartz (except when I cannot resist).

What he said.
These do need to be collected a set - free with petrol would be the only way I'd be able to do it though.

OK so quartz are more accurate than mechanical watches but they have no real clockwork which has to be the most eco - friendly machine ever built by Man.

Nothing inherently wrong with quartz watches, they just don't do it for me. In fact I find them downright boring and dull, that's all. All fluff and no real substance, a Ferrari with a Smart car's engine!

Plus I'm a mechanical watch snob too :zylinder: :lol:

There are some good-lookers in the new batch.

But...I'm with those who say it's a notch too pricey. £220-£240 may be, but not £299.

It can be £240 when you use the 20% voucher code...
