I deal with a guy who trades watches and i went to see him last week and purchased a superocean 2001 model boxed paperwok etc, and i said to him if ever my b1 came back in trade let me know, well well today got the phone call and the guy who brought has taded it in today so it's mine if i want it. Price my superocean plus £400 what do you rekon guys?

I'd take the Red Arrows - there's only 200 of those!! (Feel free to PM me the details, though if it's in the UK I might cry).

In terms of the B-1 vs. the SO, well I'm a mechanical guy so my answer is obvious, but it has to come down to your heart - it sounds like there's a lot of regret over selling the B-1, so maybe that's where you should go.

Or of course - buy the B-1 and keep the SO!

If you want it back then you have to go for it. Remember however, sometimes it is best not to go back :wink: Might be better to get something different....

Where do you get your watches from? I am on the look out for a Chrono Avenger M1 so was going to check this guy out, does he have a website?

Cheers.

Not much money if you have it to spend.

I know I shouldn't, I know it's too pricy, but I'm tempted.
