What time is it? Watches and horology

Pics would be nice. 😁

I'll post photos once I've got the bracelet resized but I doubt they'll do it justice. It almost scratches my explorer 1 itch. Almost.

I await with interest.

Here’s a box photo to keep you going :)

Payed a bit over the odds but still seems like a bargain once it’s in hand.

Classy. I like that.

Thanks. Very classy, clean lines.

Best of luck with it.

This watch on the telly today. On Flog It. Bought in the 50's in Kuala Lumpur by an RAF airman for £25. Original warranty and receipt all matching numbers on the case. Hasn't worked since the 60's. Estimated at £200 to £300. Sold for £1500 making an 82 yr old ex RAF man very happy.

Inflation is a bitch. He should have kept it.

He is 82. I'd be selling all my Rolex's long before I'm 82. If I had any.

If I make it to that age, all money is going towards drugs.

At that age, you're probably right, but not for the reason you're hoping.

Still processing this...

2nd hand watches - How do you clean? (in particular the bracelet - yuk!)
I don't really feel like wearing someone else's grime.

Toothbrush and lukewarm tap water, you can also bring it to the LWS for more thorough cleaning

I use cotton ear bud things for getting the gunk out of in-between the links and the watch body.
Plus what Heldring said.

Ultra! Would be a bit noisy otherwise.

I have a sonic bath if anyone needs a lend.

It's a trap...

I'll probably pass this time.

I do like that.
