CAR2A90.FT6071
Goldsmiths / Sheffield 26th November 2016
Since I already own the original Heuer 01, purchasing this was never on the cards, but catching sight of it in Goldsmiths I was intrigued to give it a go. Truth be told, when it was in the cabinet it looked like the grey phantom because of the way the light was hitting it and reflecting. It wasn't until it was taken out that I realised that it was in fact the ceramic black phantom version instead.
Obviously it's very similar to mine in a lot of way, but the phantom element and the ceramic case does give it a different aesthetic. Calibre 11 are right about the ceramic and the fingermarks, I was very much aware of the marks on the case the whole time I was wearing it, and I think that would really annoy me if I owned it.
List price appears to be £5100, but Goldsmiths were selling this today for £4650 and I was told that a further deal could be done if I was seriously interested in purchasing (as it was Black Friday... well Saturday), I have to say I wasn't particularly tempted. Side by side I prefer mine (just as well really), and I don't see that a £1100 premium is really worth it. I suppose you're getting something a little bit different, but as far as I'm aware this isn't a limited edition or anything. I guess we'll have to put it down to personal taste.
