Thanks. It wears really nicely too. He also rode motorbikes, so it's sort of a nice memory that I keep wanting to wear. Plus the bike is similar to my dad's Matchless.
Sadly it's sat in the loft for too long. Only recently got around to taking the back of and ordering a replacement battery. Hopefully some careful cleaning with a cotton bug dipped in WD40 will do the trick, but I'm not confident. And given I still have the bits for my skx013 upgrade waiting to be posted I can't see it being fixed for a while if it is fucked.

Planned to wear this, a watch given to me ages ago by my late uncle, as a new battery arrived.
Unfortunately it doesn't work so decided not to wear one today. The contacts look a bit corroded so I'll try carefully cleaning them and try again. Otherwise I guess at some point I'll try and find a replacement movement.
