·I must say that my 2k range is maybe a bit optimistic nowadays... 🙁

··@SpeedyBirthYearMine also cost me a bit over 2,5k EUR, including bracelet and service. Well worth it as I enjoy it greatly!

·The last few pictures posted have reinforced how much I like this reference.
I can’t really put my finger on why as generally I’m not a fan of the C Case type watches. It might be the fact that I prefer watches without crown guards but the 165.014 SM300 doesn’t do it for me for some reason.
The first gen SM120’s on the other hand just seem to work, and being slightly smaller the crown appears oversized which really sets it all off.

·I enquired about a 166.027 recently and I was a bit shocked when the seller offered to sell it to me for €8k. It is a particularly rare configuration but the hands weren't even correct. I see the price has now increased to €10.5k presumably due to the high inflation rate in Europe 🙁

·There’s one from Closer with bracelet, nice dial and bezel and even correct crown at $3.5k which hasn’t sold. This suggests (to me at least) these haven’t actually broken the 3k barrier

·Black date wheel, correct bracelet, bright lume, bezel is in great shape with Pearl…someone is going to break down and have to have it after months of sifting through shit.
I was tempted myself but I can’t justify 3 of the buggers and UK import duty will add a third to the price

·Ha true. Thankfully I can resist as my search has been fruitful. Had the Closer one have popped up first it may have been a more difficult decision.

·Yes, indeed these are lovely wayches. And because of the size you can wear them for private and business situations. My 300 is too big when wearing a business shirt.
Funny thing is, normally I dont like the C-shaped case. But with the 120 I dont mind at all. I think it's a very attractive and versatile watch.

That's curious indeed. I have the very same thing. Whilst I like the dog leg Constellations, I do walk around the c-shaped pieces. I guess it's the bezel that makes all the difference.

I have exactly the same. Not into C-shaped connies, but really liking this. And indeed - a bit more 'wearable' than the SM300.
