Hi All,

I've been saving up for a few months and now have a pot of watch funds for a new(old) purchase.

I've always likes the MK3... just wondering if anyone has first hand experience/feedback on owning and wearing one?

I've read Chuck Maddox/Hodinkee so have the timeline/spec info... just keen to hear from anyone that does or has owned one.

Equally if anyone's looking to sell, I'd be interested.

Cheers

Chris

I have one. Great watch, I love it. I will say that I wouldn't like it as much if it was my only watch, it doesn't fit every occasion (actual fits very few occasions).

Some info and pictures of different Mark III's here.
