Absolutely top notch collection. Love each one of them. Would be interested to hear how you feel the sandhurst holds up v the big guns there?

Amazing photos by the way

Beautiful collection with equally beautiful pictures.

Great collection, I'd happily own any of those :thumbup:

As you are in the US, is your UK cash left over from a holiday here (equally I'm sure I have some dollar bills hiding away somewhere in my house).

Thank you, I have the decommission papers that tells why (keeps perfect time but the chrono needs work) and what aircraft (this one comes from a specific RAF Tornado plane Number ZA469)

ZA469 flew combat IDS missions (interdiction/strike) against ISIS in Afghanistan and is now on display at the Imperial War Museum Duxford (not rotting in a scrapyard)

An IWM spokeswoman said: "The Tornado GR4 is the most significant combat jet used by the Royal Air Force during the last 27 years and continues in service until 2019.

"The aircraft we've got – ZA 469 – was deployed to Afghanistan between 2011 and 2014, frequently operating in support of ground forces."

yes, from a business trip to London last year, wish I could have stayed longer and look forward to returning when we start traveling again.

In the box it may look like relegation material however, when it's on the wrist is where is really SHINES.
Wearing it is a pleasure. Accurate, comfortable, versatile and a much more interesting case than most - there is a lot to like here.
It truly is quality at an affordable price and further evidence one absolutely does not have to spend a lot to enjoy the hobby.

A lovely set of watches. :thumbup:

Favourites for me being the Explorer and Speedmaster.
