What time is it? Watches and horology

For those of you with watches you've bought second hand. How does that work on travel insurance? Firstly, how do you prove you own it? Secondly, is it likely that you can claim for price of new watch if you get mugged?

EDIT: Seller tells me he will send the 'signed warranty card with serial number', would that help in an insurance case?

Receipt proves ownership. Insurance claims depend on the insurance company as to whether it's equivalent or new for old.

If it's a rare watch you describe it in the insurance clearly for year/model/customisation so you can be sure you are adequately insured.

Nope sorry, we are still waiting on allocation from December.
Anything else instead?!

Thanks for checking. I’ll keep waiting.

If one pops up, PM me 👍🏻

National 17 is back from a gentle refurb/service

The blue hands and creamy dial really show up irl.

The 60’s Smiths band, is now back together.

really like that National 17

Think I may get some more of these Two Stitch straps, I've been impressed for the money. On a related note, where's good to buy buckles from?

I have just seen this on the railway sidings at my house… think it’s worth jumping the 8ft fence to see if there is treasure inside?

(It a Rolex box, hard to see in the photo)

Noob question. Do you get to choose where the holes go on the strap?

Happy Friday folks!

Report back. We believe in you

You can request it but I didn't bother. I just put the Tudor clasp on with the holes on the strap as it came. Guess it would look neater, maybe I'll do that next time.

New watch day. Just because..

Cheers. I think the National 15's and 17's are quiet little bangers as 'dressier' options.

Are you sure that's a Rolex box? I can't remember seeing one with writing on it like that, even if it's an outer cardboard shell.

New watch day. Just because..

You're also down in Dorset right? Did you buy direct?

'Waiter, this chickens rubbery!'

Cue pitchforks...

Cheers.
I only asked because I always seem to find that I'm half way between holes whenever I buy a strap

I'm fairly sure someone on here did get a custom one. Can't remember who though.

Happy Friday yall

I've just ordered my second strap from them one of their new premium full stitch straps in Cognac shell cordovan for my BB 58. I think they're great straps for the money. Watch obsession have a decent selection of buckles.
