OK thanks, will give it a miss this time. Best of luck with the sale.

Interested depending on price

Dibs Edwin please, PM incoming.

Not sure, here's a link to the Sony location I was talking about. I seem to remember they were helpful on the phone back when I called.

Whoever bought these, and whoever might have the same issue.

I bought the same model and lost the case 4 days later, Sony has a repair centre in Wales that will send you out a new one. I think it cost me somewhere around £50, certainly not much more.

I bought one a couple of months back. It's a great watch for the price, enjoy it!

Happy birthday - Indeed that's a lovely watch!

I love this watch!

I'd advise not taking the movement apart unless you've found the manual and ideally also someone online that's written about servicing it. Even then it may be difficult. I took apart a really nice Timex watch and learnt the hard way that I'd need around 7 hands to get it back together again...

A lot of people take the movement out of the case and dial off, then dunk in lighter fluid, reverse and pray. Obviously you wouldn't do this with a more expensive watch but Timex's can be really difficult to get back together again. Not necessarily recommending this, but it could be worth a shot depending on how expensive yours was.

Alternatively have a look at the hands and make sure they're clear from each other, common if someone like me has tinkered with it.

This would look great on a crown!

edit: I should read properly.. *will look

Love the colour of this!

Casio "tiffany"

Totally agree this is a wonderful watch!

Happy Friday everyone. Here's my Florina watch on a Milanese band. It's another one of my "repairs" whilst I learn how to clean up / fix watches. I found the movement (Felsa 4002) a lot easier to work on than some others. Like the FHF 96 that I need a donor movement for.

I broke the setting lever spring when taking this one apart so learnt the lesson not to pick it up from the long end but rather the main body.

It runs terribly, and doesn't have a quickset date function so I can never be bothered to set it correctly. Looks great though.

Perhaps I'll get hold of a MoonSwatch as a long term test for whether I like the fit then. I may be a little while away from another more expensive watch purchase after having bought the BB58 a couple of weeks back. Will be sure to give @ejay2.0 a shout if I start to think about it seriously though.

Love it! I'm scared to try one on, mostly because I'll want one, but also because I think my wrists will be too small.

They also had one at DMR in Canary Wharf, demo only. Definitely a lovely watch!

Today I'm wearing one of my older watches. I've been trying (mostly failing) to get into watchmaking as a hobby, this is one of the watches that has come apart and somehow ended up back together with all it's parts in tact.

There are many that haven't survived, and will probably become donors for other "repairs".

Congrats on the new home! Snap on the great watch too

I'll take the crank bros thank you. PM incoming.

Ah I see, thanks @Mr_Smyth. I was imagining something had for some reason sheared off. At least it shouldn't be anything to worry about then.

I'll live with it for the winter, it's not terrible, but equally not going back to the same person for its next service.

Had my boiler serviced recently and the engineer passed everything with flying colours, even going on to say that he rarely sees boilers in better condition.

Fast forward to the next day and I finally turn the central heating on. Grinding sort of sound coming from the boiler, seems to happen at some point during the heating cycle. I'm not clued up on boilers but thought I'd open it up to have a peek.

There's some metal in the casing that probably shouldn't be there. Can anyone help me identify what it could be? Possibly nothing to worry about but I've not used this boiler engineer before so not sure I 100% trust he's done his job.

It's a Potterton Gold combi I think.

PM'd

I recently bought one of these and stuck it in an IKEA frame. Looks great
