What time is it? Watches and horology

😂

It is an absolutely great watch, but I fear to end up in the same boat as you, i.e. 'this is the great watch I got you darling' - 'and from which driveway did you find this then?'

Mine was like, I don’t wear watches, I find them annoying… thanks but no 😐

I really can't stand that "superlative" PR wording on it. Even if it was within my reach, which it isn't.
A part from that a great watch.

Toddler swimming lessons this morning so thought I should be prepared:

I think the text always stands out in pictures. I've never noticed it when I'm wearing one.

And hi everyone. It's been a long time since I looked at this board.

I inherited many years ago, a number of watches from my late father. Time has come to finally sort them out and move some of them on.

I will start with this. Any guidance on pricing would be appreciated, I hope I'm not off the mark.

I have here a Rotary Revelation. Bit dressy, not sure if there'll be much interest for it here but would like a fellow forumer to have a chance at taking it before it goes on ebay

Pretty decent nick. Only things are:
-Batteries need changing. This apparently needs to be done by a professional given there's no case back.
-There is a scratch on the white side's bezel, which extends slightly onto the main lug area
-I have no idea what's going on with the crown for this side (pictured.) can adjust time forward with it as normal (albeit it is rather small) but turning it the other way can unscrew the crown from the stem.

If these things are going to put anyone off from buying it I'll take it to a watchmaker I know. But being rather time poor (no pun intended) at present I'm seeing if anyone would like to buy in its current state for less than market value. If this is some sort of faux pas let me know and I'll take this post down and get it taken care of. Happy to provide more photos if of interest.

They seem to go for around £400 on ebay but given the above would £250 seem reasonable?

Many thanks in advance for your insights. Great bunch on this thread, I've missed it!!

Hope you all have a great Sunday

Also this citizen eco drive 0870

Date frustratingly is not centred in its window, and the second had when in chronograph mode starts from 2 seconds.

Comes with spare links

Given the above £50?

Let me know if I'm off the mark with either :)

Thanks again

Most watches you can reset the chrono hand yourself.

Yeah but I'd know it's there 😅

So if anyone was considering gifting me a Rolex, don't. Thanks 🙏 😂

Kinda interested in that Rotary . A friend liked them. Let me see if there's any interest his side

Any suggestions on where to find a good quality Milanese strap in 19mm? Google search just brings up loads of cheapy Amazon ones

Always like these brAun watches.

It looks good on the new C9 in Brentford

Thanks very much, I'll give this a go!

Noice! Was looking at these this morning. And yep, run it by your friend, it's here if he/she wants it.

Got too many watches :)
