New Arrival - Rare beast!

Hi all, I did post this in the HAQ forum, but thought the same post deserved to be here also.

I saw this watch approximately a year ago at a watch GTG that we had near Bristol.


It was worn by a fellow member of this forum, KeithT.


Now as some of you may know, Keith is great at repairing rare early Quartz watches, such as Cal 35* and F300's.
In fact, my lovely Favre Leuba that I have recently received came from Keith himself.


I have pestered him for this particular watch, pretty much since I saw it, but could never get the funds together or another watch would crop up first.

I recently sold a few watches that have allowed me to buy it and it arrived yesterday!


This is the super rare Longines UltraQuartz;
