I’ll be wearing this - I’ve been wearing something less dressy recently, but Christmas calls for something special.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20221224/03d17b65cf115e040333b8ab8e9a6de4.jpg

Was that the one that went through Bonhams a couple of weeks ago? You got a good price. I appreciated the opportunity to handle one for the first time; the bracelet was everything I anticipated but...

Mostly out of stock but I wonder if the pricing is the same instore; might pop in to see if they have anything left…

I’ve done a search but very mindful I may have missed a discussion. Just caught by the aesthetics of this and wondering if we have any existing owners on the Forum who can share views?

When I was about 11, I brought a suitcase containing the spare parts from an independent watchmaker who had retired. I didn’t do much with them, but it kindled an interest in mechanical watches and...

I really like those - they are a lot cheaper than the XII whilst capturing the aesthetic and having the same build quality.

I made a comment on a thread a couple of months ago that one of the best value watches had to be the 18ct cased Zenith El Primero models.

I had an opportunity to put my money where my mouth was...

Another with M&S - customer service is decent enough that even though they put the price up a fair bit when I moved (in my view to a better area...) I stayed with them.

As best I can see, the...

Coco Chanel (let’s not get into her politics) said ‘Some people think luxury is the opposite of poverty. It is not. It is the opposite of vulgarity’.

Still not sure how this works - eBay is offering £3 selling fees and 10% off simultaneously. So if I sell my watch for £500, I get £497, the buyer pays £450, and eBay has just engaged in quantitative...

This was the one that originally turned me on to G.O. - there was an example which bounced around Sales Corner about a decade ago at a very fair price:

Red in my view. The green and gold looks odd for not having any gold on the bracelet - would look a lot better if the narrowest links on the bracelet were gold too.

Having said that, the green...

No. To Mr Sandwich’s point, thieves targeting mid-range saleable watches (e.g. Omega PO / Rolex Sub) and utilising methods such as mopeds will probably have access to sources who will pay good money...

If you have a connection to the individual to whom it is inscribed, then pay up to get it repaired and restored and wear it occasionally as an heirloom.

Otherwise, weigh in the gold and see if...

I agree although I don't think the price is that exceptional. More that the guarantee is worth quite a bit given the costs if something does go wrong.

On the Da Vinci theme, they also have the...

Tom Bolt (who runs Watch Guru) designed for Dunhill during much of their Limited Edition period in the noughties. As a result, he had sizeable collection of '000' marked pieces - one of each model he...

This is my experience too - you get the occasional hiccup, but as the OP showed with the Yema it’s also a place to find things you just wouldn’t anywhere else.

Nice catch - I had my eye on that in the SC

Have been checking back in here daily in the hope of that....

Just getting a vote in for 38/40mm as I understand the originals were.

Christopher Ward C65 Vintage?

Used Sinn 556?

My only comment on the PRS22, having had a couple, is that it’s a fairly...

I had my eye on this, which given the rarity ended at a fair price. It's just the uncertainty of what needs fixing, and what it'll cost....
...

All's well that ends well - seller was OK about cancelling the sale and returning the payment

I was idly browsing on eBay using my mobile and the eBay app. I put the phone down, picked it up again a few minutes later and was greeted by a message ‘Thank you for your purchase’.

Upon...

You've got most of the information, but it's more commonly known as the 'Entrepreneur'. I am still kicking myself for missing one in platinum, it popped up and I thought 'I'll enquire tomorrow', by...
