    T_F, I've done a ton of research on the BR-01, and I love it. I think the price is a little steep for a BR though. I'd like to have one, but I'll wait until the hype cools off. I like the BR01-94 that I posted on this thread earlier. For those of you that don't know what we're talking about, see post #231.

    Do you sell watches? If so, where? I'd guess you could scare up quite a bit of Ferrarichat business, there are a bunch of watchaholics here.

    I have the pleasure to own a Dornblueth 99.0 This watch is completely handbuilt by Dirk Dornblueth and his small crew in Kalbe/Germany. Dornblueth is producing about 100 pcs. a year and you have the choice of 3 models: 99.0 with small seconds, 99.1 with a bigger second and the 99.2 with a power reserve.

    look at his website for more info: www.dornblueth.com


    Regards,

    Hugo

    My friend has a titanium GP Foudroyante, one of a 100. Very nice and for sale if you are interested!

    BTW, excuse my ignorance, but what does Foudroyante refer to?

    Thanks, but as I bought two within the last month, the wife would kill me over a third one...

    You must have big wrists or else the watch will look out of place. Some girls might think you are overcompensating for something else :)
    Have you checked out the Ball Hydrocarbon Engineer Thermomether. It's meant to be the first mechanical thermomether encased within a wrist watch. The funny think is if you want an accurate reading of the ambient temperature you need to take it off as the your body temp will affect the reading. Why create such a technical gizmo and not include some kind of insulator between the case and the wearer's skin. But a great watch nonetheless.
    I work for an internet watch retailer but not sure if the F-chat administrator will allow my comp name to be mentioned.

    Figured I would post this here since it's an awesome watch at an awesome price. Clearing it out to make way for yet another piece that I just bought. This one is literally brand new and would love to see it go to a fellow Fchatter.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------

    FS: Girard Perregaux Vintage 1945 Limited Edition

    I have for sale a Girard Perregaux Vintage 1945 Limited Edition Chronograph in Stainless Steel on a beautiful Stainless Bracelet. This watch is a column-wheel chronograph (GP Movement 3080, Base Calibre GP 3000) which zeros perfectly and is accurate to +1 sec per day.

    The watch is a real beauty (just a few months old) and I would rate it at 95-99%. The bracelet and case are near mint and I guarantee you will be very happy with its condition.

    This piece comes with all boxes, papers and even the GP bag that came with the watch upon purchase from my authorized dealer.

    PRICE is $2975 (retail is $7300) and includes shipping in continental US. Payment via certified check, PayPal or wire transfer. I have pictures so please ask. I'll also be happy to entertain reasonable offers.

    Thanks,

    Eric

    Having done some further research I believe it is a type of mechanical display to show split seconds.

    Anyway here is a pic. I think it cost £15k new!

    Anyone here is aware of left handed models by swiss watch manufacturers. I am aware that Panerai makes them, though in very limited amounts, but wondering if there are others in the market.

    Graham made some Chronofighters in the left handed version, but they're pretty rare.

    I finally bellied up to the bar and bought my first watch since 1993, other than the $95 Kenneth Cole I bought in '99 when the Gucci from '93 was in the shop. Tag Monza Calibre 36. Can I join your club now? :)
