:D

I get it I get it...

So can anyone recommend a decent set of tools - not even specifically for building a watch - but even just for maintaining one?

I've had one of the cheap kits from...

Thanks guys. Some great info.

I guess from a tools points of view the 20-30 quid sets from Amazon aren't going to be any good?

Thanks for that it's great!

Reading your write up it seems as if the servicing & taking to pieces is more difficult than the building from scratch and that that was just a case of putting a few...

I've become slightly obsessed with the thought of doing a scratch build.

Basically a SKX007 style thing but to my own preference.

This seems like as good a place to ask as any...

Mine was custom and took approx two weeks. Customs value was marked low, but I still had to pay i think £18 to fed ex for clearing it etc.

As I understand it, any discount that is offered to a cash buyer must be available to a buyer using other means of finance.

Of course getting a shop to honour it may be a different story.

Nah the yellow isn't one of the silly bright ones, quite subtle.

Very pleased with it.

Yeah I'd noticed that, unfortunately the bronze doesn't seem to have made it onto the second hand or reseller market yet...

Strange you should mention the planning to keep it aspect as I see they offer proper personalisation - initials on the dial / photo on the case back... But I think that might be going a little too...

Morning all...

Any feedback at all on the brand / the watches?

Specifically i'm thinking of a basecamp classic in bronze on a brown rally strap / display back. This spec seems to come it at...

Thanks
