    I quite like changing the straps on my watch every now and again and don’t enjoy doing it using the spring bar removal tool I have (standard pen shaped tool). I have seen videos where a tweezers...

    I just checked the rrp in Japan. ¥1,254,000 which is roughly £6,600. By the time you add uk VAT and shipping it would be more expensive than buying in the uk. I know used watches are cheaper in Japan...

    I agree about the Bond thing. Not only a fictional character but one that actually wore a Rolex in the books. All it is now is product placement in a movie franchise. I wouldn’t wear a watch with a...

    I have this on the way to me. Really forward to receiving it. Never handled an Uncle Seiko bracelet before so not sure how that is going to feel but I prefer the look of it over the Tudor bracelet. ...

    Well you did call my argument pointless. If that isn’t passive aggressive then I don’t know what is.

    No need to get aggressive and make false assumptions. I didn’t pay £3500, I paid less than that. And yes it was brand new (in 2017).
    My point is you are comparing the sale price of an old model to...

    That’s what I had gathered from previous posts about posting expensive watches but plenty of people are selling on eBay. Are they just accepting the risk of it going missing in the post?
