    I feel the need to buy a Yacht Club Laureus Edition as it is an itch I need to scratch. There were only 1000 made according to the internet and there appear to be none for sale in places that I would know about: watchuseek, chrono24 & watchrecon for example.

    Is there somewhere else I should be looking or are they as rare as I am currently finding out? I can imagine never wanting to sell mine so I understand the paucity on the market.

    I ran an internet search on "IWC 390213" and found several for sale, including on Chrono24.

    Yes, that was a bit obvious wasn't it? I didn't search by number but rather by name. More fool me, thank-you for your help.

    It is a gorgeous watch, a great chronograph and I do like the size, too.

    Arrived. Number 670/1000.

    It's a Christmas present (for me) so now it has been photographed it is now stashed away securely by the missus.
