Thank you for another set of eyes... much appreciated.

I've gone back with the original Breitling strap in black, though I will peruse the link you sent too.

Thanks Tom.

I had a bracelet (unused) in the box from when I purchased a Monaco but had to send it back because it had ongoing issues which their 'horlogical expert' said was repaired.. and wasn't.

I just...

Rally on my Manometro.

I could never bond with the beige strap that came with it.

Happier now.

I had a spate of Seiko buying about three years ago, and the boxes were kept but all got muddled up.

I just had a cull on here and eBay, and it was "fun" jigsawing together which went with...

Damn these bloody Swiss horological watchmaking pioneering companies and their 'established and proven over several generations' reputations, and the fact that they have designed watches themselves...

Good luck Senraw... good to see somebody off the forum taking a plunge and getting some good momentum going.

Two arrivals in this last couple of weeks...

Ironically... both are manual wind pieces, not even auto. Probably not by accident too.

Having a bit of a cull of things that I don't wear, and...

New arrival this week and absolutely has grabbed my passion for watches again... just when I was almost healed.


Breitling Cosmonaute 809, circa 1965.

Smitten.

Sad news. RIP Derek

TBH mate I never wear it and it's gathering dust so I would have just sent you it for no cost.

But I have just looked on eBay and almost fell off my perch. :D


I might just list it now. :D

I have a square Seiko Nooka that would look good in that box.

Do you have one??

That collection is running a little low TBH.

Frustrating that we are an absolute winning machine (okay.. with a couple of draws thrown in all year so far) and STILL can't get the rub.

What a crazy season!!

It's relentless from all the...

Sad news, great actor (from round these parts too near Ilkley).

Thank you very much Bobby! ;)

You guys do a great job with a lot of responsibility on your heads, keep up the good work sir and keep enjoying it. :)

Thank you for your kind words gentlemen, it's much appreciated. Haven't been on much of late, sorry for late response.

I qualified as a Train Driver last week after a very hard slog of a year learning (and even many more years applying for the role without success), and have now been allowed to drive trains on my...

Heading / title altered.

If that's what I did wrong.



* NB

Etiquette forgotten about starting one of these beyond a Friday thread for the weekend.

Just debris apparently... but it was under a year's warranty so I wasn't faffing with it.

Back from the bezel freeing up... deserved an airing.

* Apologies for thread starting... it's been a while and I forgot etiquette.

Not really but as an artist in my spare time I would like to DRAW / design a watch for somebody who is interested in building one and take part that way.

They were great with me... however... from here in the UK they said that they WILL have to send to HQ for authentication... so it would still be going to Switzerland:

Sorry to hear of this situation Eddie... thoughts to you and yours in this difficult time.


Good luck with the fight gaffer... you are made of strong stuff and Yorkshire grit.


Be well. xx...

As far as I concerned... you are a honest, upstanding member of society with absolute integrity.

The police have told you to keep the watch.
It IS yours now and I wouldn't object to that new...

And I can JUST see the number 8 printed on the dial on the 8 marker on it to!
If I squint!

Cool!!!
