I PMd Straummy but as yet haven't heard back from him. I'm sort of a watch fanatic and have discovered a great micro brand that makes both original and homage designs, is well reviewed and, most importantly for a tight wad like me, is dirt cheap...Gigandet watches out of Germany. I'm sure they're built in China or Indonesia but the build quality is very good and their designs are tres fab.
One crazy thing though...the German distributor will not ship to the good ol USofA. Go figure.
So...I very much need an ally (see what I did there) in Blighty to purchase one (or two or three) and ship them to me over here in the sticks. I can PayPal the geetus to you once we know the price, shipping and an appropriate "finders fee" for you and yorn.
If you're interested just PM me and I'll let you know which watch I'm currently interested in and we can do a test run.
