What time is it? Watches and horology

Steve McQueen's Most Famous Rolex Is Up For Auction

In meeting with @freddo. He has brought strong watch game with him.

how about an episode of talking watches? :)

Cheers. I appear to have now got a couple of commissions off the back of me posting it on Instagram! No idea what to charge for them, mind.

Next up, we have another shit ETA catalogue watch. And another shit ETA catalogue watch....

Well, that's my collection anyway.

So according to the Lepsi App both my watches were magnetised.

Took them to a watch repair place I know and they quoted the following:

Hi, none of the watches need demagnetise, they actually need service. We have tested and came to the conclusion:

Autodromo
Needs a service: reversers grinding when wound. Rates very low and beat error too high.
Service £125
Reverser wheel £40
Total £165

Helson
Needs service: rotar weight loose. Rates low and balance needs to be poised (because rates are -26 in dials and -6 in pendants)
Service £125
Bearing £40
Total £165beat error too high.
Service £125
Reverser wheel £40
Total £165

Seem legit? Both are less than 5 years old

well 99% of watch people will relate

You’re too kind...

Get a discount for both or shop around for a better quote. Seems high to me but they do sound thorough

What’s the watch?

What Dan said

Cheers dude, I couldn’t find it online

38mm... All the more impressive.

unfortunately i didnt have the chance to try the 38mm. they only had the 42mm and it felt ok so i went with that. i think the sweet spot is at 40mm though.

40mm is 2mm off mine too... But the other way. Glad to hear there's a bigger version.

Pic of the face? Obligatory shrunken head please

It was really lovely in the flesh much nicer than the photos.
