Nice spot Mark. I was just window shopping there today. Plenty of DJs, YMs, only one Sub and it wasn't the military one!

Midlands collector, Hmmmm.... sounds like a certain MW to me but what the heck do I know. Dont suppose many people will find one of those lying around the house - thank the Heavens the Jewellers Staff knew their stuff.

I often have a dream of finding one of these or even a nice DRSD or red 1680 (I'm not at all picky) in an antique shop or something. A guy can dream, right?

The watch couldn't have gone to a better buyer. Not only is he a great guy, but has a great collection.

No, it was not MW, although I do believe he was instrumental in the deal.
