Since too many watches are “sticking” and not selling anywhere, I’m offering-up some more of those I’d intended to keep…

THINGS THAT WILL SURVIVE THE NUCLEAR HOLOCAUST:

  1. Rats
  2. Cockroaches
  3. Microbes
  4. ZENO WATCH BASEL Pro Diver 2 :bomb:

This is the foolproof, bombproof, Swiss-made super-watch of your dreams - and it’s a whopper: 48mm diameter, 17.8mm thick - relieved only by the short lugs, which make it surprisingly wearable for such a Behemoth.

Boasting tough, nickel-free 316L surgical-grade stainless steel throughout, a thick sapphire crystal, scratchproof ceramic diver’s bezel, full-lume dial, and 500m water resistance (complete with Helium release valve should you decide to do a spot of saturation-diving), all cotribute to making this the ultimate Do-anything Daily. And to make your life easier and more accurate, there’s a top-quality Swiss-made Ronda quartz movement inside.

It really is a beautifully engineered thing - if you’re the kind of numpty that sees the word “quartz” and assumes xmas-cracker quality, reach for your Hat-Sauce. I’ll take a good quartz movement over a crappy mechanical one all day long; and this one is built into a watch that kicks the arse of much more expensive competitors - all while making your life easier.

Downsides - it’s a BIG watch - built on the scale of @edd9000 or @FatCuntTroller - so it’s great if you’re big or you enjoy punching people (and who doesn’t?) and thus would appreciate the extra heft.

Box, bits of paper etc all present and correct, condition is near mint - it’s had some wear, so a loupe will find some light swirls and suchlike I daresay, but no nicks or dings. Comes with a top quality, unworn Zeno divers strap (I wore it on all sorts of NATOs, metal bracelets &c instead).

Current retail from Zeno themselves is CHF488. By the time you add shipping, UK Duty, VAT and cheekyfucker-carrier-handling-charges, that’s around CHF635 - £525 in good old English Pounds Sterling. I got a better deal than that, which means I only lose the equivalent of several expensive shirts off my back, hope, and the last shreds of what I laughingly call “my dignity” - since I’m selling at £275 including Special Delivery to UK mainland destinations.

More pics, extra info, easy payment plans, reacharounds, &c - just ask.
