Tom you can probably have for £1300 as is with remaining mechanical warranty. Can pay over time if wish not in rush for cash just should be culling some as bought far too many rolex grails again in December.

Let me know prices and some pics of both.
Cheers
Darran

Darran email me your email address and I'll send some pics and options...

You can have as totally original (which i love)

or restored to being like my mint as new one...

and the Mkiv one has some real interesting Test Pilot provenance...

Ben as its you mate you can have for £1k. Its all boxed, papers etc....
Same as Tom if you did want it and paying over few months is easier then no probs....

Can you contact me asap though as someone else has emailed me on it to. You have first refusal bud.

What's the story with Sinn watches Jason, not a name I have seen before. A lovely looking time piece though, very smart.

Hi Steve,

Lots of info here: http://www.sinn.de/

Very well thought of brand from Germany. Have been around a long time but have grown quite a bit over last 5 years. Very sturdy, well built watches with strong mechanicals. Typical German!

Personally I think they compete with much higher priced items very well and i've had quite a few. Quite a lot of styles to choose from now also and all usually have a lot of 'wrist presence'.

Thanks Jason. That 917 model is rather nice.

Are you being overly influenced by the digits 9, 1 and 7 there though?

If you mean this one then its never going to get sold....its rarer than a rare thing and a 'proper' grail

Possibly...... Perhaps they will do a 9 1 4 model soon.

nope, in fact on my wrist as I type. I have a buyer for it in Canada but would prefer to send UK. I bought my Heuer Monaco regardless of sellng this one! However, still happy to sell at the right price if offered and always open to reasonable offers!

Ferryman? Still looking for a Speedy? Here's a one owner '67 in all its original packaging. Top dollar but I can't imagine they come any better (unless, of course, Jason knows better

):
