General Comments
Thoroughly recommend this watch but don't buy in haste - do a bit of old-fashioned bargaining at independent watch retailers (and be prepared to walk away if necessary) as it is highly likely that pricing will come down a lot in 2009-2010.

Regrettable that James Bond has kept pricing artificially high for 6 months.



A watch with a little more sophistication than the Rolex and others due to the fact that the loadsamoney (80's) and Cityboy (90's) tended to avoid it - thank heavens for that.



A great timepiece to wear with a little more panache than other high-end fashion watches.



Do make sure you keep it serviced regularly though. After-sales service is reasonable - which for the UK - is actually a compliment.
