My young daughter has expressed an interest in watches and has hinted that the Swatch moonwatch might be a good place to start a collection.

Update to this and its a happy ending. The seller was honourable and has given me a refund and the watch was sent back via RM yesterday.
Lesson learn't.
Still struggling to get in touch with the seller.
Credit to the original seller - he will be in touch on his return from holiday on Sunday.
I spoke to Duncan at Genesis Watchmaking who helped me to find the serial number for the watch.
If the numbers are correct, the watch is very much older than the date stated in the original...
Yes, total newbie here and thought that the forum was a safe place to buy. I have asked around to see if we can at least make the watch saleable, although at significant cost to me.....
Thanks All. I have asked the seller if i can return, but no response as yet.
It was bought from this very forum and yes, I bought it as it seemed like a good deal - but it is worse than i...
Thanks - I have asked if i can return and will see what the seller suggests.
I also called a couple of watch repair places from Google to see if they can help - I have been told that i must send...
I hope these help - Many thanks to the seller for the use of the photos.

Hi All.
I am pretty new to watches, but bought my wife a 1965 Rolex Date for our wedding anniversary. She likes the watch, but it does require some sympathetic restoration. Can anyone recommend...
Collected the watch today and he was adamant that it was working when it left him after he replaced the movement. I asked him if he had tested it and he assured me that he had. I then quizzed him on...
Thanks all. Do the watch maker finally corrected the fault.
So after replacing the movement - he forgot to clean the pushers and the reset pusher was 'full of gunk'.
It now seems to work...
Thanks all. I have taken the watch back to the watch maker for investigation and will let you know what he finds.
It is still within a year of having a new mechanism and battery, so hope he can fix...
Thanks for your reply Ben.
Yes its a Quartz watch.

Hello All - thanks for reading.
I bought a Tag Heuer from this very forum a while ago. It was cheap as it had a known problem. I took a hit and gave this to my watch repair man. He advised that...

A sad day indeed for British comedy. He was a modern day comedy genius.
They should have used a new name imo. This is not a Countach, the original Countach was the car pasted below and the car in the Gum Ball rally.

I would raise it - it will invalidate your warranty (if there was any) and making selling it later more difficult. I would suspect that the small print in the insurance will be that they just need to...
