    I gave my 21st present to my sister a few months ago, which my dad got for his 21st. Neither of us wore it much due to it being 30mm. Few pics attached.

    Only real watch I wear is my trusty Alkin (see previous page) and an f91w when cycling.

    I have wanted to replace the 21st present since I let it go. Not really got ££££ for a pelagos 39. However, I have just seen this for sale and I really am quite close to getting it.

    Any reason I shouldn't? Or anything i need to think/ask about?

    I think it is stunning. Also - I like 34mm as size, price looks good, been serviced (so saves £300 vs buying one off a private seller), dealer looks legit, but most importantly it reminds me of the watch I gave to my sister which has a nice back story.

  • I'd be a bit nervous the blue finish is delaminating from the dial - the edges are already beginning to peel. And if I'm not mistaken they've carefully photographed it so the seconds hand is masking a rather large scratch where presumably the hands were removed for servicing. I'd pass and look for better.

  • Thanks very much for looking. Can see the edges going especially at the top - thought that was patina ;)
    Think they are hiding something with the second hand potentially as they have a photo on their instagram of it on someone’s wrist and it is in the same position

  • To play devils advocate, while I agree that there's definitely a mark there, it might have been done without any malice. If you check their instagram, the seconds hand is in precisely that location in basically every photo they have of every single watch.
