Ran them as main speakers for several years before going back to Tannoys. That comparison is chalk and cheese and I adore my big Tannoys, but I get the itch now and again for ESLs. I've never been convinced that later models than the 63 - while more 'complete' in many ways, positively addressing...

Afraid not (bear in mind the watch is from the mid-2000s at which point it was a lot more expensive). The strap and buckle are nicely signed though. I do have the paperwork from the service.
