What time is it? Watches and horology

Can anyone recommend a good vintage Swiss watch repair specialist? My '60s-'70s Rodania dropped out of my pocket and, although it still works, there's definitely something metal loose in there now.

Thanks!

Those are beautiful watches, are they definately legit?

No, moody as fuck

ha!

Thanks for the repair shop suggestions. I'll check them out and get this ugly Polar HRM off my wrist and get back my proper watch.

The kettle's just arrived. Ream :-)

OK, So I've just fallen for a new watch... so, when I win the lottery...

It's carbon, it has a tourbillon. What more is needed?

^^ dont mean to beg, but if you do can you get me one as well please. thanks

This entirely depends. If I only win a tenner... no.

I'll pick you up a couple in KL in April.

What more is needed?

Several thousand pounds I'd imagine?

Done!

I wouldn't mind wearing a fake Chinese mech tourbillon that looks somewhat like that. Sure I'd have to keep a casio at hand to actually tell the time, but it would look schnazzy.

OK, speak nearer the time, but I'll probably take a few orders.

Actually the good stuff off the right dealers lasts OK, often they use Seiko innards. You pay more - like £60 as opposed to the usual £10 to 20 for say a snide Rolex

Huge rep for use of "schnazzy"

oooh Markyboy- I might have to get you to pick me up a moody Tag Monaco

Wayne - I'm sure I could sort you out with that. Always a popular choice!

My Dad bought a real one yesterday, lucky sod. The 2009 chronograph version. £2700 reduced to £1800. I'm green.

I've always wanted a Rollox. Or a Folex. Fake is the new real.

Question:

I'm after an really inexpensive basic watch with a Tan leather strap, and I don't know where to look. I'm open to all suggestions, can anyone help?
