What time is it? Watches and horology

Talk previously of repairing/replacing movements in quartz watches. I have a 20yr old or so Accurist chronograph and an old (and not particularly valuable) Omega De Ville.

Any suggestions on where to have these looked at, preferably in London but I'm not averse to sending them away? More fussed about the Accurist as it has some sentimental value. Cheers

Poorly listed 9ct gold IWC. Looks like a cal 89 to me. I'd get a bid in if you fancy it as the seller may end up selling as a BIN to a shark as that seems to be common these days.

Same as this? http://www.chrono24.co.uk/iwc/vintage-manual--id6144568.htm

Lugs looking a bit different?

Hopefully scratching the itch this weekend...

Looks very similar. I think if I was buying then I'd ask the seller how they know that it's 9ct.

Obligatory wristy :)

lovely. much different to this?

but not in this pic

Looks great.

Oh, gold IWC has ended early as I suggested it would.

How big is that big pilot? ;o)

Sweet!

Nobody placed any bids. I guess the seller Panicked.

Woah!

Damasko DA36 in good nick for £700

Where can I get a Maratac Nato in the UK? I usually just get the WatchWorx PVD one (which is great) but might as well get something different.

The watch gecko leather nato looks nice... worried it might make the watch sit super high though... can always cut off the secondary strap.

The watch gecko leather is nice but fairly thick. They do sell a one-piece leather strap as well which is similar

Have you looked at the Civo ones on Amazon? They ship with bars and a springbar tool, which I thought was a nice touch.

Still looking for recommendations for an Irish Wrist Watch

Really like the look, Unchained.

That last Day Date looks like it was straight outta Man wid the Golden Gun. Possibly off the back of a rikshaw too? #Moody
