c.h.e.-
I was so close to just wrighting it off and giving it away if someone else was prepared to deal with the cost and hassle of getting if refurbished after my mega quote from Tag. I figured it had no value not working and would only be worth roughly half the £680 Tag quoted me to fix it up. I'm so glad i took the time to make some phone calls on this one. It does have a tiny bit of sentimental value to me as i treated myself to this with my first grown up paycheck after finishing my apprenticeship 20 years ago.

Just got this one back from the local watchmakers after it sitting in a draw not working for a couple of years. New bezel, battery, full service all with genuine parts, pressure checked and a polish for £275. Its like new again now . Tag quoted me £680 😳
