Is that the one with the red hands/pointers? If so that's a SERIOUSLY rare beast! I've kept my eyes open for one of those for years and I've NEVER seen one for sale! Post us some pics, pleeeeeease! :)

Hi, Driver8 , The watch has the usual hands/pointers but two sub dials at 3 and 9 , there were a thousand made with a black dial and a thousand with a white dial. Also there were one hundred in yellow gold. It's in the 04 chronolog, There have been two on ebay late last year, both at the same time. i'll try and put some photos up but whilst my photos are ok i'm not so hot on computers and such like.
