What time is it? Watches and horology

Get the Tudor, Chris... Is it for you?

It is for me, not to convinced on the tudor.

Comes on rubber, but 20mm lugs - get something from strapcode or equivalent if you want bracelet?

50th? Lucky boy...

Not yet, just to tide me over till then.

It's lovely. Is it the 'boys' size or normal (34mm?). If you decide against it... sloppy 2nd dibs after Joe :)

Strong page.

Sorry to spoil it...

It is DEN to NYC.
The SMT is ON
And we are approaching 37 Imperial Gallons past 1.

Oh, and two hairs past the freckle of course :)

yes - what is all that stuff?

Slide rule on the outer 2 scales with unit conversions for volume/distance.

3 letter city codes are used to reset the time depending on which timezone you're in.

SMT on/off is Daylight Savings Time. On the opposite side of that sub-dial is the power reserve level.

RX ok/no is whether or not the last radio signal was successful or not. Sunday-Monday is show on the other side of the sub-dial.

Still working my way though the manual...

Does it warp space time?

It looks quite heavy... ;)

Being born Catholic I do like a watch with mass...

Oh la la!

Being born Catholic I do like a watch with mass...

I give that gif 3.14 out of 5.

Pi-rated if you will...

Some advice from the hive mind sought.

I bought this as a present for my better half at the end of December:

I gave it a bit of a wind when I first got it, wore it in the office, and it kept good time. I couldn’t wear it that long, so I didn’t know how good the reserve was. I gifted it this weekend, and it’s turned out the power reserve only lasted 3-5hrs and that the crown wasn’t well fitted (and I’ve now lost the crown).

I took it to Asal to see what he thought. It needs a number of parts replacing. As it’s a present for someone he took pity and is seeing if he can source the parts and has agreed not to charge if he can’t. He has estimated the cost at £250.

My question is what to do?

Do I start by messaging the seller, or can I open a dispute?

I assume the seller will either say it’s not his problem, or ask me to send the watch back. Given the low purchase price, I can’t see the seller agreeing to footing a £250 bill or refunding all the money. I don’t really want to send the watch back as it’s now been gifted.

On the other hand, if it can be fixed for £250 it is still roughly within my original budget for the present. Then once fixed it should continue to work. If I send it back, get a refund and try and find something else, I’m still going to have to budget for getting the replacement serviced anyway, aren’t I?

Thoughts? Advice? What would you do?

I hope this is allowed :-)

ace!

that actually made me lol

Is this your sale? I don't want to be rude but your pricing is very over IMO for an eBay sale.

Here's one with guarantee at retail for example;

And to be honest I very much doubt that one will sell either.

Still, good luck with the sale!

I'd suck it up, pay for the repair, then block the cunt seller from every aspect of virtual life you can locate

Cheers.

I kind of think I should at least contact them.

I don't know why the link keeps on disappearing when I edit my post.
