Reply With Quotenice i just went on silvermans as i like the chrono
is that realy the price £699... :shock:
how much are the originals going for........ :lol:
Firstly, my apologies for not posting a hello earlier (in my defence I have been viewing threads often), should i be banned? :?
Here are my two newest purchases, quite familiar to you I'm sure.
I have to say that I'm very happy with them, especially the 70's chrono re-issue which is running 5 secs per 24 hrs fast.
Cheers
nice i just went on silvermans as i like the chrono
is that realy the price £699... :shock:

Nice watch but ouch :oOriginally Posted by ditchdigger
the ebay omega 53 at under £600 seems cheap now.... :lol:
Yeah that is the price they quoted :shock: , but on their internet shop they have a "best offer", you should get £30-£40 off, and if you are in the military and they send it to a military address (inc married quarters) you also get a further 10% discount.
I chose this version as opposed to a vintage model because I wanted the backup of a 3 year warranty and the availability of parts if needed, there is the added bonus that this model is a limited run of 500 pieces.
found them on ebay theres a few with best offer
i did it once, before start low and work up to the price they have in mind
just to be realy cheeky ive offered £100 you never know...... :lol: .
in truth silvermans have allways charged more than others but they do balance that with good service
have you ever been over to the shop?i did once years ago it was a small counter like in a barrack store... :lol:
what is the differance besides the dial placement and price of this one they sell?
The re-issue has a different case ... and it's polished.

Every watch a story.

Crap, I didnt know they gave 10% off for servicmen !!!! Iv bought two watches off em now !!!! In fact the very same two you have :)
Re Silvermans allways got 10% discount. Used them for years , not the cheapest but a service is second to none. Cant fault them.
Does anyone know if the other 2 mechanical chronos were ever issued or just procured to replace the original. CWC/Newark/Hamilton chrono and were beaten to the contract by the 1st gen Seiko?
Do like the reissue model but a bit overpriced?
Cheers

I think the answer to that is no. No chronos, including the quartz ones, have been issued. Seiko got all the orders for chronos. That puts them in a similar situation to Eddies PRS17Q & 18Q - NATO stock numbers, but no issue numbers.
My military-contract-only quartz chrono does not have issue numbers:
