I agree it’d be a struggle to achieve some of these results via an auction house (i.e. with the consignor only getting around 2/3 of what the buyer ultimately pays). However, the military stuff has...

Lemania WWW prices are flying high at moment, like the Eterna. I reckon it’s should be closer to £2k as the condition is good too.

It’s a cased up Zeiss-Ikon MBK1000 Clock from a German WW2 gun camera. Modified Valjoux 22 inside. The majority of these have been converted into wristwatches like this. Valuation is hard. Maybe...

Isn’t it the deposit that Swatch mines for the case materials for the Omega and Blancpain collabs ?

Tafraoute valley

Monknash Beach ?

St Catherine’s Island, Tenby.

Somewhere near the museum and art gallery ?

It’s always good to have it in mind though, as it can influence how much money to spend on restoration, and further down the line if they decide to sell it’ll give them a reference point.

Aldo is the Italian guy who was the first to offer replacement inserts. Others now offer similar and there’s not a huge difference in quality between them (although there is a big difference in...

Both look good, although it’s always a shame when people have tried (and failed) to open casebacks using a pair of scissors. The Vertex has a correct case as the numbers are on the seven o’clock lug....

Prices have been a bit unpredictable for the last year or two, but I’d say those numbers are pretty much bang on. The Vertex hasn’t got the best condition case so it’ll never get top dollar. The...

Great finds. Can’t add much more, but the Hamilton and Vertex are definitely the two winners. Probably looking at £1500-1750 for the pair as is.

If it’s a hard tail (or short travel) mountain bike, have you considered just slapping on some faster tyres ?

What bikes do you have already, and how much do you ride them (and on what kind of terrains) ?

Not with Nomos it seems. Even the screw was free ;-)

If they’re under resourced wouldn’t the waiting times keep increasing as the backlog just builds and builds ? I often wonder if part of the reason for long turnaround times is to give the impression...

The Mark XV was really a sweet spot in the series. For most a more wearable size than the XI and XII, but still retains the “correct” look of its predecessors. I think it’s the only choice unless you...

Well I’d take “free and 10 weeks” over “£175 and 10 days” anytime. As long as it’s not the OPs only watch then it’s hardly the biggest inconvenience, and as mentioned industry standards are generally...

Also… how about Nomos ?

A quick eBay search throws up options just about in budget.

I can see the appeal of the Link, but for me the Kirium is a hard pass and I think unlikely to ever be considered as a future classic. The integrated bracelet design and lack of bracelet/strap...

I’d too go with Heuer / Tag Heuer, but I’d personally be giving the Kirium a very wide birth as it’s been incredibly dated for years. The old 2000 series has some gems (like the WK2117), and the...

If yours does, then mine does too !

IMO these later Astral watches with Swiss movements are much less appealing than the “Made in England” ones. The movement is an FHF 96 I believe. It’s certainly a shame to melt it down, but I...
