    On a serious note, I'm also in London (next Monday) and wonder if there are any highlights for watch lovers (but not ones that lead to £10,000 watch purchases).

    Hi All,

    I have a Laco Navy Deauville automatic on the way. As a complete watch newby (I've never had a mechanical watch) what routine would you recommend initially to check that all is in order?

    I should have been more specific. It's the simple Swiss Railway clock face that I'm interested in, not the big date per se. If it's not the Swiss Railway face, then a simple face with numbers and a...
