Just to update the thread,
This is now agreed to let go:
Agreed last Sat to sell at Eur 3.5k higher than what I paid last year (end April '14). Normally it is a model and brand which you don't sell, but I want to go beyond wearing steel or even solid metal bracelets and very much prefer leather bands. On top of that, the offer was so good that I could not easily pass on.
Road now is even more widely open for this (in either the RG or Platinum version, in the discontinued 39mm version pre-owned or new in the current 41mm version):
The current 41mm version retails for S$101,200 (RG case) and S$118,700 (platinum case) new, that is GBP 50,327 and GBP 59,025 at today's exchange rates respectively. Of course after a fairly solid discount from an AD and following the GST (VAT) return, these numbers become quite more digestible. Pre-owned prices (previous version, 39mm case, watch 5-12 years old) are about half of those for the current model to get new.
The watch is absolutely fantastic and it is hard to describe the sweet feeling when worn; due to the movement it is a piece/model that has already achieved cult-status reputation (those who are familiar with haute horologie know what I mean...)
In the meantime, having traded the IWC Da Vinci Flyback Chrono, we welcome a new member to the family:
I am gradually re-shaping the collection and moving towards handwound pieces, which I adore.
We'll eliminate every obstacle in our path and go all the way, as far as God is willing and practically possible. No concessions.

The face and hands of that look exactly like those of a new Vostok Komandirskie I recently acquired from Moscow. The Vostok, however, was made in October 2014.

Yeah, I know.
My kind of watches, plain, simple and Omegas. I also like the Smiths watches made for the armed forces.
