What time is it? Watches and horology

a way to go yet you would think

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Because no one cares if currently unobtainable watches might come into reach?

Because no one cares

Yup

Yes, and because the only time you seemingly ever post in this thread is to talk about the value of watches. You have a nice collection of watches. Post some pictures every once in a while.

Paywalled but hopefully people have their ways of getting around it.

https://12ft.io/ is your friend here

I don’t think that’s true, but it’s interesting that you think it is.

Cry me a river, chuckles.

My usual go to but Bloomberg seem to be wise to it now unfortunately :(

Got an old 1965 Seiko sportsmatic that seems to have something wrong with the self winding. Any go too Seiko menders in London recommended ? Went to a watch person today who said he only does Swiss (rolls Royce) where as Seiko is BMW 🫤

Perhaps worth searching TZ Forum for marque specific servicing, found it helpful in the past for finding the right person for servicing

Thanks, will look into that .

Seiko themselves told me to try this guy for my Lord Quartz. Apparently hes very good older/rarer stuff, he's away atm but will be back at the end of the month

Ah perfect. Kind of thing I was after.

Did you get him to do any work? His resume suggests it may be spendy?

Did you get him to do any work?

Not yet, waiting for him to come back from holiday - Both Seiko and Alsal Watches told me about him, so I am confident he knows his stuff.

His resume suggests it may be spendy?

told me £125 for a service and £225 for new/swap movement

FYI: email him dont ring, he liked details/photos written down

Nice one. Thanks. Annoyingly bought it from Japan only couple of months back and went wonky just recently

Click on the link it's more funny

I don't think it's true either.

Yes, you talk about the value of your watches more than most but I don't see a problem with that.

You might not be a weekly contributor in terms of wrist shots (neither am I for that matter) but you do post them.

Last week i had had an email from from C24 telling me my Victorinox Carbon auto has gone up by 5% which I immediately dismissed as bullshit
I'd sell mine for 60-70% rrp though if anyone's interested 😉

but it’s interesting that you think it is.

Added to my rolodex of lfgss phases to use irl, filed under gentle backhand.

In the same category as "that says more about you than it does about me"

Right first off these aren’t my photos, so just use as an initial point of reference.
I have a client from my old place of work looking to raise money quickly ie firesale. I’m not allowed to buy in any preowned at new work so I thought if here.
All bought from me ( I think)
Heuer Autavia , 2 x Breitling superocean Breitling superocean Heritage chrono and a weird Cartier Pasha chrono.
Any interest I will pass on and request better pictures, but he needs gone apparently. Lovely bloke him and his missus always bought me a Christmas present.
