I'm not watching this... I'm bidding

[gert]

Hi,

I've bought one of these watches some years ago brand new for about 60,- EUR from a MG Rover dealer in Germany.

As far as i know these watches are not a limited edition, they are rare but not worth the price of the mentioned auction.
Limited edition was the watch in style of the dash clock, there were 1.500 made. I also own one of these and had paid brand new about 45,- EUR.
There was such a limited watch been sold on fleebay e few months ago, used but in very good condition only had need a new battery, for less than 50,- EUR!

About quality: Quality is far good but not as good as MG Rover watches from WMC. WMC watches are also limited. Here is one for sale:

In december last year I've purchased this limited ladies watch:

So don't pay silly money for an item that isn't worth it. That's my opinion.

Regards

Gert

I think you are well out of it Andrew, though you explained your intentions I would keep quiet next time.

Nice advert for the club though

Hi phenonix

here you go:

It is no 0479 out of 1.500.

You may only watch the pics if you are registered (free of charge) on our webside www.r75.info

Some of the members here are already registered and I hope someone can put the pics here because I couldn't ...


BTW: The watch in style of the speedo was produced in two versions:
The one which is in the auction now and the second had a glossy surround (lunette). The one with the glossy lunette is much rarer than the one in the auction with the beamless lunette.

Regards

Gert

Hope you don't mind Gert, I have borrowed your pics and uploaded them to the club gallery for ease of access.

One day even me will learn to load up pics, promised!
