    New C Ward 36mm Sealander

    I can’t disagree with you that the battery does rather spoil the looks of the GS given the otherwise nice finishing to the plate.
    The Omega is machine made but there has been some effort gone into...

    You’re a more patient man than me - I’d have told them to keep it and I’ll buy elsewhere!

    I do wish they would scrap the exhibition case back; the SW200-1 is not haute horologie or particularly attractive.
    For that one reason it’s not for me [emoji853]

    "Unpolished"

    Very late to the thread but reading from #1 I was just thinking that it looks more like a Bexley Bevel than factory original [emoji846]

    Back in 1933 Hitler had just become Chancellor of a failing country and was seen by many - both inside and outside Germany - as being a potential national saviour.

    Hitler's watch going to auction

    I hate to disagree but an inanimate object like a watch can be neither good nor evil.
    If we agree that the policies of Hitler and the Nazis, like those of Stalin, Mao, Pot, Khan and those behind...

    Slightly off topic but isn’t every dictator routinely called the most evil person in history by the media?

    I recall that there was quite a famous story about the Longines watch that used to belong to von Ribbentrop which was bought by Laurence Marks and turned into a play.

  15. Which Rolex Datejust would you pick out of these?

    If I had to go for another Rolex I’d go for a gently used older model with the 3135 calibre.
    Based on my experience I would also avoid the champagne dial / gold hands combination as the lack of...

    I was told by an AD that they had to buy everything from Rolex - despite near identical products being available far cheaper on the open market.
