Incoming.... Formex 4Speed GMT **PICS ADDED**

Well I went and done it!

I have been looking at the Formex 4Speed GMT for the past few weeks. I
located a seller out of Germany on Ebay that seemed to carry a few. Some
used and some new. The seller has great feedback. I even bid on one a
few weeks ago but it went higher that I hoped for a used one. The seller
said it was slightly scratched but had no pictures to share. I had a
slight concern there.

The seller put a new one up for sale with a buy it now option or best
offer. I was on vacation last week and kept an eye on it. It was still
there for the past few days. I even saw a number of offers but the
seller rejected them all I guess. The offer amounts were not visible
however.

I got the courage to make an offer last night. The offer was accepted. The price is remarkable
compared to what a new on goes for usually. I realize it's probably gray
market but it's at least new in the box.

Here are some seller pics for now.

That looks like a beauty! I really like my Formex, I think you wil be happy with it. Wait until you see the box it comes in (if it's like mine)!! Congrats!

VERY cool!

I am looking at the all black, square Formex myself!

Can you post a link to the seller?

Looking forward to your pics!

Alan,

Here you go. No squares on there right now but the inventory seems to fluctuate.

Really Nice.

I've always loved the Formex industrial architecture and canted (head's up) case profile.
Certain there's a place for one in my collection one day.

Enjoy

Sweet, i had a ds2000 and the watch was amazing but when i downsized sold it because it was quartz! Very well made watches and the dealer you used is the best with this brand and being it's an auto GMT you're going to love it! Nice score!!

Very Nice! Enjoy the hell out of that baby!!!

THANKS HOBBIT!

You made a GREAT choice with this Formex Hobbit ! Yowza !!!
It has an OUTSTANDING design, that not only looks NICE, as well
as different, but the build seems excellent also. Just looking at that
case, along with the way it is connected to that bracelet is impressive
enough. Then you start noticing how cool the bracelet looks too. It's
just a VERY complete package. I like the dial, with what seem to be
small squares on it. The hands are neat, and so are the markers. Not
to mention the blue bezel, and that crown up top as well !
It's SOME kind of watch !!!..Congratulations on picking this one up !
..I hope you really ENJOY it !

Nice watch, congratulations. I have bought a couple Revue-Thommens from MacArthurs. Did'nt know they had any used though.

The watch arrived Tues from Germany. Very quick shipping. The watch is
brand new in the box. BIG watch to say the least. Comes with three
straps including the titanium/steel on the watch. Also a rubber dive
strap and a leather one with blue accents. They also threw in a Formex
lanyard/keyholder.

Here are a few quick and dirty pics. Better pics hopefully this weekend.

Congratulations Hobbit! Great looking watch. Love that it is a GMT. Looking forward to some wrist shots.

VERY cool man!

That box and presentation is TOP NOTCH!

Is the whole watch Titanium or just the bracelet?

Great watch, i'm really diggin the blue! doesnt it wear very cool with the shock system and how the 12 side off the case is much taller than 6, supposed to be easier to read while driving and i can see why, dont have to turn your wrist so much! Great, great buy!

Looks even better in person!! I told you it came in a nice box!! The lanyard hooks to the 'credentials' holder (plastic envelope) for trips to the race track. Since the Formex 4 speed is a race brand they include this.

You wear it around your neck with you ID in it, like this nice lady from NASCAR is wearing.......

Hobbit, this watch looks better and better every time I see it !
First of all, the case that it comes in, makes you say WOW !..Formex
did a nice job, and just look at all of the extras you get as well !
It's REALLY nice what they did there. A watch like this deserves a
special case though ! That case, and dial are unique, and fun to look
at imho. There is alot of interesting details, like the squares on that
dial, along with a wide chapter ring with two-toned numbers. It looks
like a long way down to the surface of the dial ! ..Some EXCELLENT
looking hands, and markers by the way. Also an extremely nice bezel,
case, along with CRAZY cool bracelet !..One thing which stands out
that I didn't realize before is the way the crystal seems to bulge out
near the top !..That is just TOO GOOD !!!!..ENJOY your new Formex !
..Congrats once again !!!..Those are some VERY nice pictures there
as well !

Broke out the camera last night for a few pics. Hope you enjoy.

Great shots - Makes me want one even more. Enjoy.

AWESOME pics...WOW!

Is the case titanium too?

Dude, amazing pictures of one kick-ass watch!!

Alan...I can't tell for sure. I am thinking parts of it may be.

Think the whole watch is Ti but the bezel! I know my case and bracelet were on my watch!

So I am guessing it is fairly light weight?

Wow great photos!!

Not as light as most Ti watches, with all the screws in the bracelet and connecting to the case! Think if it was all steel it would weigh way too much!

Yea that about sums it up. It's not a light weight but all steel would be a beast. I may have to compare it to my Renato Beast Diver

Now that one I could get into. I've seen some other models and the dial was always too busy for me but this one is not overly cluttered.

Woohoo Hobbit !!!! .. Super NICE photos !
You can see how unique this watch really is. I can
see the way the case is angled AMAZINGLY well from
these new pics. Also see that lip even better at the
top of the crystal/case now !..Boy oh boy, you have
a GOOD one here ! ..Look at the dial, it's a real
electric blue !!!..GREAT case, dial, bracelet, pics,
AND watch !
