It’s a ltd ed by 8Js, racing inspired apparel brand by Sacha Prost. Various racing Ts with photos of Siffert, Stewart, Rindt etc. Also a very nice leather racing bomber with Heuer logo and Siffert autograph on it.

 

Excellent news indeed! I too will get one for my Rindt and congrats to everyone that got the Siffert!

 

I just got very excited. Yessssssss.

 

Bracelet now sized and enjoying the first few days on the wrist.

 

£110 in the UK or £130 with the buckle.

 

Yup, saw that. The UK is in love with this piece!

 

Since we’re on the subject of tax, the 5600chf price tag appsrently included 7,7% Swiss sales tax as detailed to the two watches I had delivered to Zürich. If the watch gets exported that tax should have been possible to reclaim at port of exit, no? At least in theory.

 

Correct. The calculation should be that Swiss VAT gets removed, and your own country's VAT gets added (meaning in effect, you pay the difference as additional cost).

 

I hate the profit-maximizing part of this hobby, too much has become about deal-making. I originally bought the Siffert as well, but for various reasons decided not to keep it, but I insisited on selling it to a fellow collector/enthusiasts for the same price. To me, it is a community piece.

 

My intention was never to flip it, but life sometimes happens. I am making sure this watch is going to a good home, for exactly what I paid for it.

Thanks again for creating such an amazing piece!

 

I admire your principled approach - to be honest though unless you really "know" who you are selling to then you're at risk of providing yet another flipper with something to flip.

 

One can never be sure but hopefully this dentist in California isn't an eBay/grey market master mind
