Arrived - Unusual Speedy

Post by Soporsche »

Well, it's quite a big one (for me anyway).. I don't have a grail but would be on my 'list'.
Not what I expected to acquire today, actually I didn't expect to buy anything today but the opportunity presented itself. Lots of man maths, then some looking in the watch boxes for further likely sacrifices etc.

Won't arrive until next week at earliest but had to make this rather self indulgent post as quite excited.

That's it for now :D

Its not a CW.

Something Motorsport related? TAG Heuer perhaps?

OK go on then 🙂
Is remotely motorsport related.
42mm
Chrono (even though I recently said 3 handers were the way forward for me)
Not Tag, in fact a Tag is going as part of the required balancing books.

Ummm....so you recently acquired a Tudor Grantour* (3 hander) so something to compliment that :-k
First thought was TAG (as per Guy above which has subsequently been discounted).
How about an OMEGA Speedmaster (Racing Chronograph)?
Failing that CHOPARD or BREMONT perhaps?


* if this has to be moved on then give me a shout :wink:

On the right track guys... not quite there! A little less motorsport, that may have been an unintentional red herring though there is a historic link.

Apologies for tardy response, manic with work..
Only thing I could really share before arrival is this, as you guys have demonstrated in the past how good you are at this game and how rubbish I am.
I suspect someone may still get the family from this tiny morsal.
