I started collecting during the price rises , so I have never had the opportunity to buy Seamsters at £150 unfortunately.
My first Seamster was a 30 purchased at a local antique shop then sent off...
I can't recommend a dealer as all my vintage watches come from eBay or antiques fairs , what I can recommend is doing a massive amount of research before you buy .
My first vintage watch was a gold...
I love these old top of the range Rotary .
I know it's a watch talk but interested to know what was his favourite breed of dog ?
These old Rotary are very collectable, I have a couple , one being...
You will need to open it up for more info case ref movement ect. Looks mid to late 50s to me steel case .
It's a cracker I would advise your friend to get it serviced and start wearing it .
Probably a high beat ETA movement. Being a beatmaster model. Have seen 28000 on a Waltham watch , different watch to yours and marked on the dial . Is the sweep nice and smooth or more of a tick ?...
That looks to be a very unusual lord matic.
Japan only model ?
Crystal will have to be generic ,Cousins or eBay . You will of course have to measure the original.
It may of originally had a...
Great post from Paul he's sorted a few of mine for me and always been happy.
If Cousins win there appeal and it's a big IF there will be no problems with parts , especially common problems like auto...
That's the one Chris ! Enjoy

Nice little early Seikosha for under £50 , well done !
I think there's a YouTube video of a watch service on one of these .... can't remember the channel but the title was something like Swiss Seiko...
Baz1 if no joy with Bhi , I can highly recommend Walkerwek here.
The Smiths , Timex and Ingersoll were designed to be thrown away / disposable ?. I remember during the lockdowns I had a go at trying to fix a Timex , movement plates had screws pretty...
Looks to be gold so possibly no model could be Dennison or shackman no idea unless you can open the back
There will be a case ref number so you can do some searches from this , to find similar...
Great finds Jason ..... I know we both love a car boot ..... My last one today( on the fields ) in Colchester BUT the hard standing one just down the road is really picking up . This will run...
Honestly I think the seller is taking the P...., a watch that has problems, possibly won't be cheap to fix and puts the price up 😮
Keep looking and leave the chancer to sort out his own watch.
The...
Not a expert but looks a good example to me , case back medallion still attached , a few small nicks to lugs so not over polished , clean dial and hand set , just check serial number from listing...
Nice collection Jason , I'm guessing those rally straps are Pavs ?
The last watch show one of the sellers had a Sekonda chrono black dial very tempted , didn't know about the different style of...
Nice collection what's the black dial vintage Omega from your grandfather ? , looks in great condition.
Is the case not gold ?
Traders I know work on roughly a third of the complete watches weight is the gold content .
How correct this is I don't know BUT its the way they can buy, at a stall in a...
I'm into vintage watches so most of mine are 30 odd mm !
I have the same size wrist as you and 35 mm is good for me .
I have a few larger/ oversize vintage watches in my collection so on rotation...
Purchased a few times always gone smoothly for me but these purchases were from Europe pre Brexit.
Paul's done a great job , really nice dial colour slight burgundy tinge as it's aged lovely !
Same advice here , it's a good sign that you have movement in the hands. A new crystal might be in order for future rain storms !!!!
Looks good to me, a nice change from larger watches. When you want/ fancy something more discreet !
A old chronograph Suisse !
A reasonable watch made as Souvenirs for tourists I believe/ according to internet, same as swiss chocolate, cuckoo clocks ect
Is it running ? The minute hand could have...
