Ehhhm what, did they just up the price for it? Now it costs 950 Euro more than when I checked 30 min ago

Oh no wait, they have more than one for sale. Both from 2021 but 1k in price difference...

Yeah, the cheaper one looks well cheap. Must have bought it at a ridiculous price... or maybe a mistake?

Think with WF the price they've paid for it probably shows on the price they want, or maybe condition, or months of warrenty

Yeah, they told me that before. Not so much condition, but what they paid. I've seen where they've had three exact the same watches and the oldest one is the dearest.... looks pretty silly when you see them next to each other.

I honestly never expected that to happen!

The bare titanium heuer 01 skeleton is pretty tempting

But Charlie said that the skeleton Carreras look dated now.

Fresh out of the box! Those marks on the glass.... I can't even see them IRL. 47mm, but I'd wager the bezel is the same size as the Grand Carrera. Wears more like 43/44, and short lugs too, certainly doesn't feel as big as I thought it might. So I'll be keeping this one for sure. That bracelet is so cool too, looks like old Soviet machinery!

Congrats Rob, it's an interesting piece. What's the 0-20 Chrono...Best scale used for?

Thanks Charlie. So as with the Calibre S you press the crown in to switch between time and chrono mode for the main hands. This version stores 20 timed events and can bring up the best lap... not sure how but it will be in the booklet. I will probably make a video once I've figured it out. You press and hold the bottom pusher to clear all the times.

Wow, congratulations @Aquagraph. Two very cool pieces you have acquired, sir! I believe you have a Calibre S Aquaracer, correct? Do the two Calibre S pieces have similar functions other than the 20 timed events you describe above?

Yes I think so, just a more complex version of the same thing. Those glass marks on the photo are annoying me, I honestly can't even see them on the actual watch. Odd...

It would be good to get an explanation for us that probably will never see it otherwise.🍿
