What time is it? Watches and horology

Got myself an IWC last week for £65. Pretty pleased. Will post pics once I've had it cleaned.

How the hell do you get an IWC for £65?

Very much this!

Got to be a fake... pics or it didn't happen etc etc

Nautica A43001G Gents SPETTACOLARE DUO Titanium Chronograph Flip Watch

Nadir Watch by CKIE

Anyone got a Seiko skx007 knocking about that they want rid of. The modded one that I have, has seized, and Alsals say it'll be £120 or more to get fixed so am hoping someone has an unwanted one on here that I can have to replace mine.

Let me know..

Buy a new one, you cheap bastard...

TS, back in your digital casio box.

Bargainous Rolex 5700. Wrong colour for me though

It was a BIN on eBay, and really badly listed. It's an RAF-issued navigator's chronometer watch for astronavigation. I'm amazed it arrived in the post, as I was waiting for the seller to say he'd received a (low-ball) offer of £1500 or something.

Seems to be absolutely fine apart from a cracked crystal which should be an easy replacement when I get it serviced.

I should probably say, this doesn't happen very often. I've been waiting years.

Amazing...

Fair play.

Im assuming that's a fair amount of ebay hours for that bargain? I wouldn't have known that watch from Adam.

Was it listed as an IWC?

I don't really want to say exactly how it was listed, other than it didn't say "IWC", but the owner thought it was from WW2 when it in fact dates to 1950. He asked me if I knew what the engravings on the back meant which was a bit cringeworthy as typing them in Google reveals everything.

You don't need to repeatedly scour eBay if you save a few carefully written search terms which it will search for you. They have stopped allowing "*" wildcards now which is a shame, but the other Boolean terms still work so you can filter the crap out.

Lovely. Congrats!

Proper pics are needed once it's all fixed up.

I often look through the mixed watch listings to try and spot a bargain. This one made me laugh recently: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Old-watches-for-spares-repairs-/281271767666?pt=UK_Jewelery_Watches_Watches_MensWatches_GL&hash=item417d1a9272

"rolex"

Rodabod, amazballs. Really nice. And Corny, get a movement for $50 and swap the bits over. Or just buy a really cheap Seiko 5 with a 7s26 in it.

Guess RAF/IWC is clockwork?

Could be tricky.
