Anyone got a GRAHAM?
Discussion
I'd not heard of these before so I just had a look at there website: www.graham-london.com/index.html
Bit too chunky for my liking, and what the hell is thing by the crown for?

For some reason I look at those and can just picture the sales speak to the average American tourist with money....
"Yes they are from London"
"Graham is a very name in watch making from days gone past"
"He was from London you know"
"I know you've never heard of them but thats because they are exclusive"
"Did I tell you they are from London?"
"no sorry, we are actually based in Switzerland... but the watches say "Graham of London" on them?"
If you look into the website although the name comes from George Graham (Father of the Chronograph) the company itself has absolutely nothing to do with him and was actually only founded in 1995. So they actually have no "history" so to speak as "Graham of London" yet they retail well into 4 figures, in fact the RRP for the Chronofighter range is from $6200 up to a whopping $24600.
The watch pictured above is over $8000... and the strap is rubber... not some fancy special uncutable PU composite... just normal rubber.
If it were my money then I wouldnt consider them, they seem to maybe be aimed at those slightly blinded by the "history" that the company itself has written.
