Hello Joe,

Depends where you want to buy . . . .
Since your in the UK you could maybe give Tom Bolt a call ;-)

There will pop up some UK TRF members and they will help you with addresses in the UK.

Those are US prices . . . change them to Euro's . . . and than your closer for your budgeting.
For the UK change them in pound . . .
Go have a look here on TRF on the for sale listing . . . definitely you're going to find one . .
A few months I first bought the watch (head) that I liked.
And last monday the President bracelet . . .drove all the way to Paris to get it . . .but it's in mint condition . . . like the complete watch ;-)
Take your time . . . . and use the search function here on TRF . . . . . loads of info !


Good luck
