Lovely! Will keep an eye out. Btw did you had to service it? Just asking to get and idea of the maintenance costs 😊
frankohara-
No I haven’t, the guy I bought it from had had it done a few months before my purchase as he thought it would help with the value, we negotiated down to what I think was very reasonable/my top money at the time... I did get a quote recently for the DJ and it came back at £800, but it was my dads (he has given it to my son/hidden it from my brother at my house) and has a Rolex movement and so I’d thought I should honour That maintaining the legit service history... I didn’t pull the trigger at the time but the Rolex elves did fix the crown for free and mend the bracelet so happy days 👍🏻👍🏻

Yeah, mine wasn’t much more than your budget... there are a few on eBay and chrono24 - don’t really know of a ‘reliable’ source but I’d stop by antique watch co in Clerkenwell and see what they might have within budget 🤷♂️
