Looks like there may be more tonight…

The aurora watch magnetogram went off the scale this evening at around 5.30pm. Annoyingly I was in the pub and didn’t have alerts setup, so missed them over Ilkley. Northern lights would have been...
I wouldn’t go Sram or Shimano. I’d go Campagnolo
Wonderful gesture. 2 tickets for me please
That’s beautiful. Are the hour plots slightly off white to give that aged look?
I knew that bit. Just hadn’t clicked that they’d used it in Speedmasters. Not sure how I didn’t realise that
I didn’t realise Omega had used the Lemania 5100 in Speedmasters. Very interesting
So update for anyone who's interested:
Simon Freese - can service @ £336 including postage, and has no issue with parts
Terry Casey - can serice @ £350 but does have issues with parts so the...
Indeed they do. They send a package out for you to be able to send your watch. I do like little touches like that
This is the watch in question. Absolutely love it
...
I've had a response from Olivier and he can do it but parts are an issue. Terry Casey and Simon Freese are still to come back to me, and Charles Martin have said they can do it but the service cost...
Just been reading a few articles on the background of Cousins vs. Swatch. Very interesting. Cousins must be spending a tidy sum on fighting this, and I bet the opposing costs are little more than...
Thanks so much Dave. PM'd you :chuncky:
Dave, thank you for the comprehensive reply. The issue is that winding is very stiff and when wound horizontally, as in watch parallel to the ground, it vibrates. And it’s a pretty damned hefty...
I always enjoy your candid honesty Paul :chuncky:
Thanks for the recommendations so far. I've emailed all three :encouragement:
Indeed. What was built as a cheap movement now seems quite the opposite!
It's a Lorenz chrono and yes definitely prefer to use indies. Based on the brand and movement my assumption is that that's the only option.
Hi all. Does anyone know a watchmaker who will service the Lemania 5100? I've tried Duncan (thewatchbloke) but parts are an issue. Has anyone had one serviced recently?
Potentially causing as much of a fuss in death as he did in life! :black_eyed:

When I looked at Goldsmiths it already said out of stock and to register interest if you want the watch, so my interpretation was that they’ve already sold out. I was speculating that dealers could...
Sure. I’m not saying this is the case because I have no evidence, but it’s feasible that dealers have picked some of these up with a view to selling for a profit. As has been mentioned some are...
Availability now says it's on application only. I wonder if the greys have cleared up! Nothing like stifling demand to maintain high prices
Not sure if this has been posted but spotted this on the STS site. Rather impressive what can be achieved these days with lazer welding
...
Cheers. I think I'm now pretty settled with the system I'm going to go for, which is:
Cambridge Audio CXN for streaming. May go for the V1 second-hand:...
A bit of research and I think I've answered my own question...

Thanks for the feedback so far guys. I've settled on a Quad 34/306 setup with some ProAc Anniversary variant of some sort. Preferably 8, 9 or 10.
The bit I need to think about now is the CD...
