Post by: TET@WATCH on February 04, 2013, 10:48:06 AM: Hi TheHobbit...sorry i dont know the exact history only the contents (same old me). Bought this second hand from another watch collector. Can only get this info from google.

Through intensive research and development, and excellent German craftsmanship, GoldQuest International Ltd proudly presents the highly innovative and unique timepiece – the “Gold MMC Watch”. This special timepiece replaces the hour and minute hands with a single distinctive stainless steel ball that moves clockwise minute by minute. The 999.9 yellow gold (24 karat) GoldQuest Medal 2002 is used as the watch face. The centre of this proof finish Medal is characterized by the GoldQuest logo together with GoldQuest’s mission statement “Raise Yourself to Help Mankind”.

The B.H. Mayer Mint – Germany in direct cooperation with “Lacher - Germany”, a leading watch manufacturer in Germany, assembled this unique limited edition timepiece. The fashionable watch is watertight up to 30 meters (100 feet) and the watch face is well protected by a high quality scratch proof mineral glass. The watch strap is made from genuine Italian leather.

The Gold MMC watch is meticulously presented in an innovative black watchcase, accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity from B.H. Mayer’s Mint, and includes a 24 month warranty from Lacher – Germany.

Post by: TET@WATCH on February 04, 2013, 08:19:14 PM: Hi Foowy...at first i thought the price is absurd too but eventually after checking out at Google, it is genuine. I offer the guy half the price since it come with whole package. If the price is much lesser, please pm me cause i dont mind having two... :Cheers:
