I sat opposite a guy on a train wearing one of these.....

a very lovely watch! Anything to look for on these? can you get them Tax free anywhere?

Any opinions on them in general?

I have one of those with a white dial and it sits on one of the drab green IWC rubbers straps (that you can swap out with their quick change) I like it in a sea of Rolex - they are much better value used.

Yeah, not really interested in any Rolex's.

I like the Green face version.

where's the best place to look for a used version? apart from the obvious as those on chrono etc have been listed for an age.

Any options that wouldn't involve flying around the world

I wouldn't discount Chrono24 if you want to make a saving.
They second hand and grey market for these is very different to rolex/patek et al so they often sit around for a while despite pretty hefty discounts.

I have an Igenieur which to my eyes is a much nicer looking and better finished watch than most sports Rolex but it's significantly less popular and much cheaper as a result.

the price they're at, with vat added once in the UK, they're more than buying new here. there's some which are listed at the cost of a new one.

Always worth a call to Dom H - I'm sure he'll be able to sniff out a bargain.

Apologies, who's DOM H?
