FSOT: BREITLING B1, ROLEX GMT II, OMEGA SMP GMT *IN UK*

***PLEASE NOTE*** All prices INCLUDE Paypal fees (bankwire also acceptable) and insured shipping within the UK.

My ideal trade would be a tough mechanical chronograph with GMT/UTC/2nd time zone, minimum 100m WR and at least 40mm diameter (excluding crown) e.g. Sinn, Fortis, Kobold, Anonimo, etc. Depending on which watch is traded there may be a cash adjustment either way.

THE WATCHES:

1) BREITLING B-1 SUPERQUARTZ *FINAL REDUCTION*

First up is my October 2004 Breitling B-1 SuperQuartz in 95%-97% condition and still under manufacturers warranty.

The watch is presented in stainless steel with the desirable black dial. It comes with the Fighter bracelet (all links included) which has hardly been used, and a newly fitted Breitling OEM black calf strap with contrasting white stitching and signed buckle (not pictured) which really complements the watch well and has been worn only a handful of times. It comes with both inner Bakelite and outer cardboard boxes, user guide & sleeve, warranty certificate (stamped AD and dated 12/10/2004), COSC certificate, instructions for the slide rule, additional card slide rule, hang tag, original purchase invoice, and more... All are original and mint.

As for the watch itself, it really is superb - the ultimate tool watch. Just look at this list of features:

- One analog dial and two digital read-outs
- Display backlighting compatible with NVG (night vision goggles)
- 12/24 hour time on digital display
- 1/100th second chrohograph with max 99 days, 23 hrs, 59 mins, 59.99 secs plus split times
- Alarm (sound resonance chamber on the back of the watch)
- Countdown timer
- 2nd time zone with alarm
- Additional UTC time zone (3rd time zone!)
- Digital perpetual calendar
- Bi-direction slide rule bezel (surprisingly useful!)
- 50m water resistance
- Sapphire crystal (glare-proofed both sides)

The watch is 43.2mm in diameter and wears beautifully. It is in near mint condition, having been desk-bound most of its life) with only a few light scratches on the bezel that can been seen between the 55-50 mark on the images.

Retail is almost £2100 including the extra strap and buckle. Mine is now up at only £1195 for a quick sale.

2) ROLEX GMT MASTER II

Second up is my stainless steel Rolex GMT Master II - a watch that needs no introduction. It is a "P" series originally purchased in 2001 and in mint/near mint 95% condition.

Last month it was checked and regulated by Jessops of Glenrothes (Rolex AD) together with the fitting of new Rolex seals, refinishing of the head and fitting of a new all-black bezel. The bracelet shows little wear and is full length.

It comes complete with inner and outer boxes, papers, COSC hangtag, bezel protector and a spare black bezel insert.

This very popular model retails at £2600 - mine is for sale here at only £1750.

3) OMEGA SEAMASTER GMT

Finally, we have my Omega Seamaster GMT - black dial/2-tone bezel - which I have owned since new in December 2003. It is in Very Good/Excellent condition with light signs of regular wear except for a slightly deeper scratch on the bezel which can be seen in some of the photographs I have taken.

It is keeping excellent time and the brilliant bracelet is full length with the fold-out divers extension. It has the "Seamaster 50 years" engraving on the caseback and the best luminosity of any watch I've ever owned - it's amazing!!

The watch comes with both inner and outer boxes, instruction manual, hangtag and card wallet containing COSC certificate, warranty card and features card. It is complete.

This watch retails at £1375, but mine is for sale today at only £650.

Please email me if you have any questions or would like additional images of any of the watches.

Thanks very much for your interest.

Cheers,

Guy
