Thanks, I'll give him a call.
Just wondered if anybody here has had a Cal.11 or 12 serviced here in the UK during the last couple of years or so, and if so are you able to recommend someone? I appreciate its not the most complex...
Thought I'd pop the Skyliner on this morning, love the elegance and simplicity of this watch. It's a 1966 example.

Bought by myself from a jewellers on the high street in Cheltenham, shortly after moving up there to study, it was 1994. Had a couple of batteries along the way, and has been to most corners of the...
It appears not, at least on TZUK...
When I bought my first rather tired used Sub about 13 years ago, I'm not sure I even knew what a 'brand' was, certainly didn't think of watches in any context...
Don't be so bloody opinionated. Just because the finer aesthetic detail of a watch is unimportant to you, doesn't mean it should be to the OP, or anybody else for that matter. A minor detail to one...
Reminds me of all that fuss concerning red font on old Subs and SD's, just send em into Rolex and have them swap those crappy old dials over for a nice shiny new one with proper lume etc. It's only...
I'm sure its very well made, but style wise it's just not for me, even at £350, never mind almost 10 x the price...
I get that re physical delivery of the/'a' parcel, but just say the buyer receives the parcel but then submits a paypal claim saying that the item wasn't as described or is incorrect? I don't know,...
Exactly, odd indeed. I was talking used prices btw for both models, back in 2012 ish.
Yes, seems quite odd when viewed in isolation, but not so much when you look at what has happened to pretty much all vintage and certain newish pre-owned watches over the last 2-3 years, particularly...
Jeez, that bi-colour Invicta would give Brendan's recent acquisition a run for its money...
I guess I can't be a watch enthusiast after all then, as the Reverso does nothing for me style wise, but then I've never really been a fan of tanks, and having had a quick peruse of the Lange...
How much is too much for a GS? Well, as already alluded to, that's very much down to personal circumstances. I doubt Mark Zuckerberg would lose much sleep over paying 20K for a GS, whereas I most...
Well, I enjoyed the post. But I viewed it as a light-hearted post Sunday lunch read, which I guess most others would too. Perhaps you should put the 'Rolex' in the 'Show your Rolex' thread, bound...
I agree wholeheartedly with that, well the underlying message at least. Just haven't managed to get into single figures yet..., though still considerably more focused than it was 10 years ago. In...
I have two of my fathers old watches, both of which I wear regularly, and two of my grandfathers, one of which is now my wife's daily wearer (a 1944 30T2) and the other, being a gold dress watch,...
Hmmmm... This is crying out for a 'steering wheel' shot (German brands only, obviously).
I'm not so sure that any refinisher with a case lapping machine will be able to achieve a factory sunburst finish on a vintage Heuer... Yes, there's probably a few more these days than 10-15 years...
I agree, while it may just be the rather harsh light in those pictures, the sunburst finish to the upper case seems to have all but disappeared (you can still see evidence on the underside of the...
When considering chronographs in particular, the ones that spring to mind, are the cushion case cal.11/12 Autavia's like the 1163/1563/11630 etc. I know they're auto vs the Daytona's Val72 manual...
Apart from that OTT crown and the rather gash power reserve 'gauge', I rather like those. But not 5.5K like. Shame...
I really like the Alpina Startimer Pilot Heritage GMT, in both salmon and blue dial. Something a little different...
...
Not sure which table you're referring to as I haven't trawled through 18 odd pages! but 22.08m is March 1965...
