• Thanks. I’m really enjoying it! Was a bargain too. Weird how you can spend well over a grand on these, or well under a hundred, depending on where you go…

  • A lot of Smiths seem to get sold by two types of people.

    The first one has read two web pages and decides its worth a grand, the other just sees an unremarkable watch with no obvious or fashionable trade name, so a watch of limited value. It does create an interesting market for them though.

    The English ones are lovely watches IMO and the 17j CS Astral/Smiths Astral divers, 19j Imperials and 25j Everest Autos are mostly fairly priced I reckon. The 15-17j lines under that are lovely but prices are really subjective as you say.

    The Welsh ones deserve to be cheap (unfortunately) but some of the fun Swiss and Japanese models are pretty good bargains for something different, but even there you seem some outrageous asking prices from sellers.

    All good fun though eh.
