Anyone take a look at this book yet? It has been out since November of last year or so. There are already used books for sale on amazon.

Hi Hexonx - I got it. It's a nice coffe table book with a lot of nice pics but not really something for the "serious collector" (would not call myself serious tough :-))

Best regards, Stefan

Hi Stefan, ah, that makes sense. I haven't had a chance to take a look at the book yet so I appreciate your input. No reference, spec or technical information? I will have to wait for Zaf's book to come out for that. ;)

Regards

Hi Hexonx - there are (some) specs and backgrounders, but for example
- there are infos in the section with all the references which are at least misleading,
- you can not see the different dial/hand variants per model etc. pp.,
- no info reg. serial numbers and production years.

So simply speaking a lot money for little benefit. Nice coffee table book :-)
