Thanks for the positive vibes- It is with 'my' watchmaker now and will hopefully make a usefull timepiece (A watch which does not get used is worth nothing, IMO).
He thinks the glass is too bulbous...
Well,
I have given in and got myself an old (very late 50s, I think) Volna chronometer. Its condition looks excellent (to the naked eye) and I think I got a lot of watch for $100 (£65.68) including...
:lol: :lol: :lol: ACE! That has made my night!
I traveled across Croatia a couple of years back and intend to go again sometime. The weather was very good (even though I went in late October) and it is well adapted to tourism (as it was part of...
Just to clarify- my MWC copy has always been correct to within a few seconds a month, which I have always found to be so accurate it is academic. My new genuine MWC is loosing 1.5 seconds a day (in...
I bought my beater off a ebay seller in May '07 and paid £20 for it.

Hi again all,
After buying a cheap MWC/CWC diver copy from ebay in may '07, I vowed never to go on ebay on returning from the pub ever again....
However, the said watch has given faultless...

Adam was walking around the garden of Eden, moping. God asked him, "What is wrong with you?" Adam replied that he was lonely and didn't have anyone to talk to.

Well. It doesn't matter who you vote for, the government always wins.
If voting changed anything, they would outlaw it!
Take a look at this on eBay and tell me it is not foolish in the extreme to spend that sort
of brass on an un-seen watch! :?

Well,
A friend has just got a new pc with Vista, and;-
A) I don't like it's general look/feel (a bit too OSX (Apple) for me.)
B) I would definately wait for the first couple of sevice packs to...
Hi,
Well, after an 'interesting' :shock: running in period, it immedately speeded up after I posted my last comments and seems to have settled on an average gain of approximately +0.666666...

Looks distinctly dodgy to me-look at where the strap meets the case for starters (not one piece).
I bought a much better looking fake for £50 (a GMT master II, complete with working 24hr...
Well,
The watch arrived very quickly and came with a (rather thin) NATO [style] strap.
It looks to be reasonable quality (what do you want for £18.50 inc. p&p) and the watch has few markings (the...
Well,
I was wandering what the 'T' that is found on the dial of most military watches signifys, so I had a look at the MOD watch specifications.
They state:-

I have paid £18.50 for it (inc. p&p). I first saw it with only a minute remaining and no bids, so I put in a quick £30 bid with 30 seconds to go and left it to fate.
At worst, I have lost some...
I have just broken my golden rule and looked on ebay on returning from the pub(s) :roll: . Needless to say I have ended up buying a watch and am unsure exactly what I have bought myself. It claims to...
Good evening all,
I have just come accross the 'Seiko Spring Drive' type of [electro] mechanical movement and am not quite sure what to make of it.
The easiest way to explain the theory is simply...
Hello all,
If anyone is looking for a Dreadnought, I have just noticed one on Ebay that ends at 1.26 (am) in the early hours of the 14th May (tomorrow morning).
