Thanks! 👍

Does this look legit as a Rolex 16220 from about 1988?...

Am I the only one experiencing difficulties in opening links from the forum?
From my phone every time I click on something I'm redirected to obscure pages.
Advices anyone?

Thanks!
Will check that up!

The crystal alone was £150.

Heard somewhere Genesis doesn't do Breitling services...

I get the point of keeping it within the brand's specifications and standards, but I don't plan to sell it, so resale value isn't really an issue. Though, even if selling it was in my plans, would I...

Today I took my Breitling Blackbird to the nearest AD for a service estimative. Got a shocking quote of £695 for a movement service, new crystal and case/bracelet refinish.

Is that the price I'll...

The reference to Ikea really tickled me. :)[/quote]

:D

These ORC's were made up like this, all black or as UTC Extreme versions. The Chronolinks line has a digital module as well as manual winding "lock" to it. The chronolinks are still in production....

Just got a new member to the Sjöö Sandström family: UTC ORC, limited to 100 units in this configuration. A digital wonder, beautiful to look at and one of the most comfortable to wear.

It's a 20mm Tropic with a woven mesh sort of pattern, says 1820 on the underside. Bought it here on the forum.

Yeah, I thought of keeping the original hands, but I guess I can always put them back for a more vintage look.

After a crazy long time waiting I finally got my Speedmaster back from service, so I thought of posting a before/after thread.

It's a 69/70 Speedy with an extra cool caseback.

Before:...

Thanks to all! Much appreciated!

bongo, you've got the leather strap.
lewie, the chinese bracelet is yours.

Please pm your addresses and I'll mail them asap.

Cheers,
Fernando.

Thanks, sir!

Interested in any of the straps?

Thanks to all!
I'll bump it now and pick the winners tonight.
Cheers,
Fernando.

As I'm approaching the 400 posts mark I thought of giving away a few odd pieces from the straps box.

1- A half jubilee bracelet, no brand, endlink marked 046. 20mm/16mm. Almost no stretch. 13...

Need help, as I just found a quickset 16014, 5.3mil serie, which dates it back to 1977 (my birth year!). It's got an engined turned bezel and I can't tell if its material is white gold or if it's a...

Thanks for posting that, especially now that I've just got my first Quartz off the forum:

I'd keep the 104 and get a 000 later on.

Looking good, Linus!
Any wrist shot of that combo? I'm thinking of getting a leather strap for mine.
So long I got it on the bracelet....

Chrono24 usually has a few...[/quote]

Though, the ones made today are slightly different in design. The black dial used nowdays has a glossy finish, the lugs are similar to the series 1, so the...

The swedish watch brand Sjöö Sandström might be pretty unknown outside Scandinavia, but they've made and still make some quite nice pieces. Perhaps their most known piece being the Chronolink, a...

Gorgeous!
Have you got a good selection of straps to dress it up and down? This must be the most versatile Rad around.
Congratulations :thumbright:

I've had the LW for quite a while (specially for being me :roll: ) and it's surely the most confortable watch I've owned. It wears a lot smaller than its dimensions would suggest, due to its slim...
