Omega quoted me £600 and a six month turnaround for a service on a standard three-handed Seamaster 2254.50. So instead I gave it to a local watchmaker before we went on holiday three weeks ago, and...

Saw your earlier post on this - very helpful and you’re right, they’re now around £340, but having snagged one at list I’m determined not to pay over for a second one!

Snootily, I didn't think I'd like the MoonSwatch, having worn a 1969, 321-calibre Moonwatch for years. So I promised my brother in New York that if I could find one here (UK) I'd give it to him.

No idea on value but WHAT a pretty thing - interested to hear what others think it might be worth

Hello all. Wonder if there are any Breitling uber-experts lurking on here?

I have a really lovely 1806 dating to 1969, which I bought from a dealer in Geneva about ten years ago. Looks like it sat...

Dear all -

I hope you won't mind me posting this here, but I have a charity Ebay auction running which I thought might be of interest to some fellow forum members. All proceeds go DIRECT to the...

I like The Delaunay - prices not outrageous, huge menu choice, and feels like an event.

Apologies if this has been asked before - just had a search and couldn't find anything.

I've often wondered this, but the question is now more pressing as a friend has an heirloom '30s Rolex in...

I'm friends with Bradley Price from Autodromo and I can promise you that the love and care he puts into his products - all of which he designs himself - is worthy of your investment. Some of the...

Great find, well done. That bezel is perfect.

Such great watches. Mine was a very deliberate choice - after listing exactly what I needed in a watch, it was clear that an original GMT-II was the only choice.

It has seen some use since I got...

At the risk of sounding very boring, you could put the grand into a junior ISA for him, and invest it in one of the handful of unit or investment trusts which have returned at least 12 per cent per...

I think I have two good matches:

Guards Red Porsche 911/Pepsi Rolex GMT-II Master

White 1989 Peugeot 205 GTi 1.9/1985 Casio DW5600

This really is a terrific album. So glad someone else here has picked up on it - but not surprised given our space obsession. I think 'The Other Side' is my favourite track - Dermot O'Leary said he...

Great choice. Congratulations from a fellow child of 1974.

+1 for a Chris King, but may be a little excessive on a six year-old Marin hard-tail.

Some funny responses there. Also some rather humourless ones. Dickbrowne's suggestion is a good one but I suspect anyone practicing would want to try casing them up too, and would be unlikely to have...

Hi all - i know that sales of 'homages' to a certain well-known Italian diver's watch are banned by our host. However, I have a couple of Chinese fakes bought while pissed on the Bund in Shanghai (I...

I know H&V exists for feedback and I will post there as usual, but as we don't look at those posts unless we're about to deal with someone, I thought I'd give Keith (keitht) the kudos he deserves...

Rich Askham is the man to go to for Seiko servicing. Expert and reasonably priced. Definitely worth doing if the watch is of sentimental value and a keeper - as this one clearly is!

Enjoy it.

I'm lucky enough to have driven pretty much every Porsche (though not the 918 - yet!) and currently run a gen-2 997 C2.

Your first instinct was right. Get a Cayman. If you don't already know all...

Evening all. I have an original, oyster-cased DW5600 from the mid-'80s. It needs a battery, but I'd like to get it resealed well enough to go swimming with. Question is: is there a specific gasket in...

Very nice. Thanks for sharing those. Like the Oris particularly. A respectful nod to your grandfather's taste in watches - they illustrate perfectly the difference between price and value.

And if...

I have the Elford limited edition. Now sold out. I love it. Great value, great looks, very wearable, and a quartz is very useful with a box full of automatic chronos and no winder! Plus I've met...

Thanks all for the comments. Will take your advice and just go for movement service, retain crown and pushers if possible, clean dial/hands/case but not relume or refinish, polish/change crystal and...
