What a find, and a lovely car!
Great present, and a great pic! Happy belated birthday Duncan!
The french made Cousins 9 piece set is good value for money at £29.50+ VAT
If you buy a set of screwdrivers you should also buy a stone and a sharpening jig, even good quality screwdrivers will be...
A 1989 G10 will most likely be powered by an ETA 955.114 movement.
These movements are straightforward to service for an experienced watchmaker, and they rarely throw any issues provided that the...
Nice to have you back, and great collection!
It’s a beauty, and I have garage envy :)
The 773X has quite a loud tick (I find a loud tick satisfying!)
As mentioned above, different case designs will amplify sound in different ways.
Listening to a watch without equipment is not a...
There is a lot of choice out there for every budget - I ended up buying this on Amazon for around £45. LINK
My main use is taking photos of watches / small items.
I've been very pleased with it,...

If you measured somewhere between 0.8 and 0.9mm with a Vernier gauge or micrometre, it is likely you need a tap 9.
Tap 9 is also a common size on quartz watches
Another possibility, and still in keeping with the look of the oyster case would be a manually wound Precision, e.g. ref 6694 or 6426. Lovely, simple watches
If precision matters then get a Mitutoyo, very happy with mine, gives excellent results when comparing with measurements performed with more accurate gauges
As Paul said above - and without a doubt - let it stop.
One of the benefits of wearing several watches in rotation is that wear is reduced when the watches are not in use. It would be a shame to...
Very interesting write up Simon, and thank you very much for the kind words!
As above - a mix a Junior ISA and premium bonds. That's what we went for for ours, and the kids enjoy the concept of premium bonds, so it is a bit of fun
If you are after a spare circuit you need to look for part number 4000 (standard Swiss part number for a circuit board)
Unfortunately they are near impossible to buy nowadays, old stock sometimes...
Very interesting read, thank you. I am a big fan of the vintage DS, clever design and very nice movements
Certina had an interesting innovation with a floating movement design, where a rubber ring is sandwiched between the case and the movement, to absorb energy in case of a shock.
I have details of...
There is a lot to like here!
Tag Heuer do not remove the ebauche signature on their movements.
The calibre 12 was supplied with either ETA or Sellita movement + Dubois Depraz module on top, so I do not think the SW-300 mark is...
Hi Keith
Thank you very much for the update, good news indeed!
Also interested to hear, I was not aware of any changes. I have just checked my account and it still says $25,000 max in the dropdown for domestic deliveries with RMSD
Can't comment on the D2, but my Disco3 turned out to be an absolute money pit. One previous owner, low miles, FSH, I thought i had bought a good one...
Turned out to be an expensive mistake.
They...
Great to see an equation of time complication, I don't expect there are very many within the forum community!
We were very lucky with the donor, it saved a lot of additional work: without it the barrel bridge hole would have needed to be re-bushed or jewelled. What was left of the cracked shellac on the...
