My one rarely worn ‘nice watch’. It’s a Burberry Britain BBY1202. Cost about £1300 when introduced 10 years ago. I bought it NOS about 2 years ago from an outlet store for £400. Looking to get £250 but all offers considered
Burberry made a big effort in 2012 to break into the high-end watch market .. producing some very high quality pieces. But they discontinued them after only a year or two
