Anyone here into watches?
I'm having a clear out with a planned arrival soon, so thought I'd start with this one.
This one retails at £2k, but can be had second hand around £1,250 - I'll take a round grand for it.
C3 lume version, pretty immaculate with all that it came with this year(tin, warranty cars and a couple of straps)
The blurb on it below.
NATO number 0552/9237697 this watch actually superseded the Rolex MilSub on the wrists of Royal Navy divers, and its first version, with a self-winding mechanical movement, is far rarer than the Rolex it replaced.
A really crap, lazy photo...
