What time is it? Watches and horology

rip brian cobby

can anyone direct me to that military watch site, there was a link on here ages ago but cant find it, they had lots of RAF helicopter pilot watches.???

I've got quite a few watches littering my drawer at home in need of a new battery.

Can anyone recommend a place that will change a battery there and then.

None are special at all but I'm going somewhere I need to wear a suit this weekend and I'd like to not wear my bright pink G Shock. It's last watch standing.

The list of watches that need a new battery are:

Seiko chronograph, Storm Remi, Casio budget, (another) G Shock and Lambretta cheap thing. I'd ideally like the Storm or Seiko working again but I have no idea if these would take longer to do.

I'm getting an 11:30 train from Euston tomorrow so can go somewhere at 09:00.

Dunno but Wernersflyingwatches dot commerce or something similar may do something similar

thats it cheers TS.

Scratch my Q, a bit of googling suggests most places will fit while you wait.

I paid ~£500 for this a few years ago, then spent another ~£250 getting it serviced 2 years ago, including new winder and new crystal.

What do people think I'd get for it if I sold it?

I've not worn it since me Julie bought me a Seiko for my birthday.

According to the oracle that is eBay:

Anything between £168 and £407.

Hadn't thought to look there, cheers.

£200 to LFGSS if anyone wants it, £50 less than the service cost me then.

I'll send the picture to my brother and see if he's interested.

^I have a watch with a strap like the above,

Does anyone know how to remove the strap?

beat me to it

Really though?

yup

Like that monoposto watch and love the way you can print out a 1:1 scale model of any Autodromo watch on the website. You can wear a paper version around the house before you buy! I havent tried it though......

I'm selling my Marvin dress watch - the bloke I bought it off said it was 1940s but I've no way of verifying that. The face has some nice patina, as you can see. Red second hand and second track (is that what you call it?) around the outside of the face. The strap is new and cheap brown leather, the glass is new acrylic. It's about 35mm across the body or 32mm across the glass, and takes an 18mm strap.

It runs but not very well - it's intermittent. It may just need a service; I wouldn't like to say. I'd keep but but I'm off abroad for a couple of years and I need all the money I can get.

I'm after £50 posted. I'll take mo' better photos if you want them.

I must says I do like how lovely that watch look in that current condition.

thats a charming watch
