Yeah, I have a couple of Rotary Chavitimers (Navitimer hommages) that are marked 'Waterproof' rather than Water Resistant. Ironically, both of them now seem to have lost what water resistance they...

Well as I said in my earlier post, AliExpress themselves have seemed to have acted very well in my case.
I'm not having a great day with Chinese watches - around the same time, I ordered a...
A cautionary tale in which Aliexpress are involved...
I went on to Aliexpress over Xmas looking at the Pagani watches. Whilst I was there I saw a good looking Seiko Chrono Solar watch with Panda...
You may be relatively safe in Mbro...the residents of certain parts of the town probably have no idea of what a watch is...
Surely the true mid life crisis watch would be some massive Diver's watch - WR to at least 1000m - and as big as a church clock, the perfect watch for all those tough macho activities you are now...
I've seen these on Aliexpress - must admit they are tempting. Has anyone seen if they do a Breitling hommages or just Rolex / Omega?
But - has anyone tested the WR rating by actually going...
I know we've been here a million times already, but that quote sums up the absurdity of the WR rating 'system'. 30M is hellish deep - think of a 10 storey building in height - serious scuba dive...
I guess there is always the question about whether the WR ratings on cheapo Chinese watches are real or pure fantasy, so this does suggest that some at least use decent WR tech.
As for the...
Interesting...maybe I should visit again! I live within reasonable reach of York and used to visit quite often, but stopped a few years ago as the place seemed to lost its soul completely. Everything...
So...do you know how to unfade it?
They are quite correct to say...
"Since Brexit, while the shipping is still FREE on our watches, our customers from the UK will have to pay 20% of VAT additionally. The payment will be managed via...
Well....genuine patina, I'd say...
If you like....I can assure you that what I posted is the polite sweeetened version of what I think of it! I'd rather have one of Invicta's more way out creations - at least they are fun, and rather...
Sorry - this things are of course personal, but I really hate that! I hate the shape, I hate the hands, I really really hate the print on the dial! And what's worse is that whilst the invidiual parts...
Yes, there are many types of Eco-Drive movement, so you need to find specific info. As mentioned the Citizen website does have instructions and sometimes videos for each movement type. I have a...
Looking at that Reverse Panda dialed Heuer watch at the bottom of the page - looks fabulous! (IMHO). Don't seem to have made much progress in watch styling over the last 55 years, have we!
I have to say that the local Evri delivery guy is very friendly and helpful, so any problems with them are due to management issues. There again, I haven't seen the local guy for a while - perhaps he...
I'm slightly intrigued that their website contains a google maps extract to show where they are. However, when I look on Google maps, the company aren't shown! I tried to use the street view bit of...
I seem to be getting an unusual number of glitches in the picture on my Virgin Tivo box at the moment (picture & sound) - can't comment on the coronation, but I've been getting a lot on Eurosport in...
Ah! I did notice her watch, and thought 'that's nice!' ....but I'm a sucker for reverse Pandas! Didn't make the Tudor connection though, so thanks for that! Do you think she wore it on her right...
That dial is truly horrible! (IMHO!).
Also the Watch Repair Centre in the Cleveland Centre in Mbro - I think they can pressure test in the store, or they send away to their service centre somewhere. Not the cheapest though. Or there's...
At first I presumed it must be a fake - then I saw who was wearing it, and decided it probably wasn't! Presumably his cheap beater.....
I always think it looks great the way it is! Not quite sure what it would look like if you left it for another year or two - perhaps you should leave it and see!
But imagine how much it would cost if was a 'Rolex' battery........
