Hi Simon - I'm a fan too.

Have noticed that they are everywhere on the bay at the moment. BMW design variants. Cool chronos. I like the automatic LCD movement in the LCD variants and will eventually get one - just haven't found one at my budget yet. Unless some kind soul has one they want to let go (hint!!!). The V-matics and Sparxx versions are very tasty... 

I did a similar "um.... what??" moment when I found out about the belly-up at the beginning of the year. I would go to dead-end websites, google "ventura LCD for sale" and get 2 year old posts - but I guess it is a game of patience, this hobby of ours. One will turn up when we least expect it...  or twenty at a time and for a lot more than we want to pay!

If you are looking for one, good luck with your search. The Ventura Time by Design range was a breath of fresh air and they will be sorely missed. I don't know of another manufacturer who does automatic LCDs.

Cheers mate! IanM hand6.gif
