Be careful if considering a new gold one --- they depreciate like pigs. I have a rose gold 42mm BB on a strap and it's languishing at well under half the £16,800 RRP.

I'm surprised that the steel ones aren't more popular, especially with the ladies, as Catherine, Princess of Wales (cue heavenly choir) has worn one for some years.

This seems an absolute steal! Not far off the price of a new steel model (new rrp that is).
After some reading, it seems the early models are powered by an ETA movement and from 2015 they have an in house movement albeit a clone of the ETA movement.
Don’t suppose there’s any further discount for a hard up TZ member is there? 🙈

If seriously interested then do please contact me to discuss, but I'd also be donating to Eddie's fundraiser if we shook hands.

Hard to imagine how many NEW ones will sell if a February price rise happens.

Crap analogy. Pork prices are flying high.
