It is a tough one for sure, but I have been thinking about it over the last week. I did send the seller a fresh PM today, but from experience once you upset a military watch seller they are an...
I have recently had this conversation with Olli of this parish, the go to guy for any kind of work on G10s. I had sent him my 1980 Fatboy which still had the original module and the Watch was keeping...
Here is an interesting question. What is the absolute top end price for a rare G10.
I was offered a 1981 Non Lume Fat Nav (issued to Navigation Officers on Nuclear Submarines). There were only 11...
I have seen differing posts on the subject. Clearly a battery is not going to leak whilst it is live, so it depends how often you look at your watches and when a battery dies it is not going to leak...
Some collectors take the batteries out when not in use in order to avoid this issue. They pop one in when they want to wear the watch. An idea I am thinking of adopting as it will help reduce any...
I'm guessing the easiest route is to buy a donor watch. Clearly how much you are willing to spend on one is up to you. This listing on e-bay has an 82 Fatboy included in it. It's a bit rough and the...
These have clearly risen in price and £300 or so 5 years ago would have been right. I was discussing buying one 3 years ago and that was about the £450 mark. I think now they have climbed in value,...
Sell it to me. I did try to buy it three years ago.
The e-bay seller has knocked £100 off his price - now £1,550.00
Wonder how low he will go before someone panics and bites.
Thank you, that's an interesting and well balanced arguement. If these were automatics with an ETA movement, replacing individual parts wouldn't be so much of a concern. However, a Quartz movement...
I have read old threads on your watch from years ago when people were suggesting the value to be between £150 and £300 or so. Times have moved on and I think you are now sitting on a serious piece....
Basically yes, but released in much smaller numbers and it mainly seems to be to RN Navigation Officers rather than the RAF.

You could argue the 1981...
The price is the issue, but putting that to one side, what do you think of it. I've owned two 1980 Fat Boys and this looks good and true to me. I have sent the seller a few questions to see if I can...
Saw this on e-bay today:

We all know these are as rare as hens...
