That is nice, I need to start making some straps again soon, just need a watch that will suit the rustic nature of what I am able to produce first!!
Do you have a budget in mind? I'd be tempted by a Rolex GMT, but the Speedy is lovely and very relevant for that year.
Ditto here, but FWIW I am sure I've read on a motorbike forum that WD-40's formulation changed to make it seal friendly.
there are variations around a theme but your description sounds like a pretty standard one; just get one that is made for the 18mm gap you have and you should be okay. Most watch shops will keep them...
tuck it under for me; much neater
the first watch to move to my comment in a while; very nice. Off to google to find out more!
very nice, got mine yesterday, no pics as yet
My dad lost his well used Omega Mariner, he thinks, outside a pub on Wirral at the weekend. I don't have any numbers for it at the moment, but I'd certainly recognise it; the degree of...
I'd seen that one and it sounded promising, so very good to have your hands-on approval. Many thanks
Noted, thanks, it was the different clasp approach that confused me...
I seem to recall the key difference is size; the Everest is 41mm across and the Zeno is, I think, closer to 36mm. 36mm is a closer homage to the original but the 41mm brings it up to date.
I had...
I'm after a 22mm rally strap with a bit of substance to it, to match up to a fairly chunky 43mm Longines chrono I've just acquired. I have a watchadoo rally strap but looking for something of a...
Could be wrong, but isn't what they are calling a 'super jubilee' actually a 'president' bracelet either misnamed or by another name?
Dont normally take part, but this arrived before I left for work (sellers pics, hope Rich doesn't mind)

Its character, VFM and story for me. Just sold my last two 'moderns' (but got a G Shock for the tough stuff)and have a late '60's watch incoming to go with the early '70's and early '80's that are...
I've just completed the sale of mine to Kiki Picasso. Great watch that oozed quality but I always picked up something more classically styled to wear. It will be missed, but a few too many £'s to...
Exactly where I'd got to and thank you for illustrating it so well with those photos.
I agree with that, I had one a lot like this but did mess around with it - really wish I hadn't. If you're dead keen on sprucing it up, get one that is non-original already. Obviously, it miaght take...
Cheers chaps - looks like google could have been my friend! But I do prefer to trust the opinions on here. Looks like the 16750 could be the one, but it's quite right that the quick set is less...
Been into this watch lark a little while now but have lost the love for most, if not all, of the watches in my collection. So a re-think is required.
Since seeing them on here and in the flesh, I...
Thanks - not sure why it wasn't returned on my search. Looks good
Noticed a reference on one of the CAF threads to an imminent bronze Precista in the shape of a PRS 30, but i can't find any more info. Would some kind soul point me in the right direction to some...
I'd be tempted to go for the Smiths PRS27 from Eddie, if I was in the market for that style of watch. £99 for either the 34mm or the 40mm...
What he said.
FWIW I found the new Everest by far the most difficult to size.
