totally, and much nicer than the newer one they did... the radial brushing is still really nice on yours too, so many it's totally gone. beaut

Should be standard 1st click out/position and turn, looks like a Seiko NH35A in there from a quick google...

had a mkii speedy but not the racing dial, lovely 😍

Just put this on for the first time in ages…

called a 'lollipop' hand and it came on some 76100 - this one looks lovely, regret selling my blue 79090

Thx for tropic recommendations 👍👍 2nd BB smiley of the day…

Does anyone have a recommendation for a tropic type strap that’s available in 22mm? Thanks 👍

Any Sinn experts here? Just picked up this 103 which is showing some patina and needs some love. I’ll give it a bit of a clean up and it will deffo need a service.

Dial - T Swiss Made T (but numbers still seem luminous)
Crystal - sapphire has some spots on the AR
Solid case back, serial begins with 103
Hollow end links give it a bit of a jangle
H link bracelet
German day wheel

So far I like it! I read about the thickness before I picked it up but it doesn’t wear as tall as I feared.

I haven't used them but I know some jewellers send stuff to these guys in Hatton Garden

I have used https://watchguy.co.uk/ a couple of times, very happy, think someone else here used them too after I mentioned them before. You have to send the watch off though...

Another recommendation for Subdial who I sold a watch too couldn’t fault them (they bought the watch themselves). Quick quote and payment 👌

… and Happy Friday all, nearly home 🙂

Happy Friday all ☀️ just received this Crafter Blue strap from the postie. Have a great weekend 😊

i think whenever you take a wrist shot yourself, the watch looks bigger. I assume it's to do with perspective/distance

Another smiley Tudor, had to get my fave nato in 22mm too

Jumbo Day Date, Oyster Prince Day Date? I don't know what they're usually called but ref is 7017/0 - great size (38mm) and I love the layout - yes unfortunately I think they messed up the new ones they just always looked off to me.

I'm sure good deals on the newer ones can be had, but (relatively speaking) the OG's seem decent value when you compare a similar vintage (mine is '69) Sub for example, or ofc any Rolex day/date offerings. Only downside is that it's not quickset so takes ages to set the date/day.

Nice Pogue back there, always interested me but never pulled the trigger. Like that Nezumi GMT too.

My first nice watch, had it (and my son) 10 years now. Popped it on a nato for a change.

Fun looking MGB

Good question, not really, and hard no with the pucks I bought to fit on the jacking points, had to be a bit creative( I already had the cheap jack).

First few goodies for the 996 at the weekend - spacers and Zunsport radiator grilles.

Just saw the one in the participant area. Lots of 996's which was nice, including one with a roof tent which got top spot in the votes. Loved these two in the museum.

Took my 996 to Simply Porsche today as I’d never visited Beaulieu before (parked in what looks like the grey section lol). Loads of beautiful cars and the weather played ball too.

Always see some exotic stuff at DD Classics when I’m going past, from last time

One fairly fundamental thing I dropped a bollock on buying the 996 was the paint. Seemed like the last protective coat had gone bad and had oxidised, looked really bad at certain angles. Colour correction today, decided to get it done properly, paint a bit thin in places but all original apparently.

Yes price of entry is reasonable but 🤞 for the bills that can follow (hopefully a lot of the big stuff has been covered already, it’s had £15k spent on it the last few years 😅). It’s a 2001 C4 on 97k

A fair chunk less than the starting price of the lovely Pug - my mate had a 309 1.9 GTI bitd and at the time I had a Golk Mk2 1.8 16v 3 door ‘92 big bumper loved it.

Yeah it’s really fun, and I think I’ll probably regret selling it tbh esp at the prices they are fetching at the mo. I really wanted my brother to hang onto it for a while but he blew me out, all he had to pay was insurance and petrol! I had to act quickly though while I had the chance to get a 996. Picked it up last week and I’m loving it, the 3.4 with a sports exhaust is quite a noise.
