Think these were released around about 10 or 11 years ago, around 2013 . .. . not so easy to find one for purchase now though . .. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Redfire1066 10,946 Posted March 12 Overall, for me sometimes better design and price point than its bigger brother in the "Epsom" family. A few years ago I picked up one of these gorgeous models from City Watches for a bargain £152 . . . .. . I let it go to someone who was not really interested in watches but was very taken with it . . . I have kept an eye open to replace it like for like .. . . . don't think I have seen one for sale for less than twice that price plus VAT . .. .
