Thanks, yes, really chuffed, if I think of how many people had seen that and passed it by on the day, just goes to show that ours is quite a small world.

Thanks all, I’ve been a bit thick, although I’ve had several 6139s over the years, I had forgotten that the sub dial is a minute totaliser and not a running seconds dial, if I keep the chrono running...

Thanks for the link.
I hope the seconds hand is ok, its actually moved a few seconds since Ive been wearing it ( compare the two photos ) so hope a tweak might be whats needed, I still can't get the...

Cheers all, Im still grinning.

Doesn't happen this well much these days, but wow, today was a good day, in amongst a table full of junk fashion crap watches was this, a January 1974 6139 6012, Its on a non Seiko funky bracelet...

Another contribution, again, like the Soviet LCD I posted before, I have had this lurking in a drawer for many years, its actually NOS with its box, but the LCD screen has bleed so Ive never done...

I’m pretty sure Leatherman has a multitool (rebar?) that doesn’t have a blade either.

I’m up to date with it so far too, I still can’t believe how petty the local council are being, Nimby-ism at its worst. He should run as a councillor 😁

Thanks for the comments, great points about the coins, that might be a good compromise, I appreciate a ISA is a good idea too, but the debate I had with my youngest was sparked by his desire to buy a...

I’ve been thinking about getting the kids a 100g silver bar to get them into the idea of investing and not pissing their birthday / Christmas money on digital bullpoop and let them see a tangible...

I think that’s spot on, it’s not worth the risk these days.

There is Marmalade insurance, I’ve considered it but haven’t got with them yet, their learner insurance does build no claims, basically the car is insured by say a parent on their own insurance...

That’s what we have done, my lad is 17 and 3 months and is learning to drive with a instructor, we went halves on a car and it’s registered / insured in my name with my wife as a named diver, my deal...

Quite refreshing that they can own up to it being a mistake and take corrective action though.

“I prefer my 7548 to my automatic 6306, SKX007 etc, people forget that at the time, the 7548 was significantly more expensive than the automatic 6309.”

I agree with that, but I went a step...

I was expecting a tutorial from the title, disappointed.

So this would be fractional ownership of an actual watch? Blimey, that’s brave, who sets the value I wonder?

My mum used to tell the family tale of when I was a babe in arms, I chewed off and swallowed the cardigan buttons of the lady that was holding me, she did eventually find them all.😁

I pass that every day, I’ve often wondered the same as you. 😁

Like with most collectible genres, 99% of that will have little to no value, but there could be that one gem, the first pressing, the obscure label, the low run that only a nerd will recognise, you...

Surely the CWC diver fits the spec?

We’re watching 1883 and really really enjoying it, really well made, gritty and full of drama, and I also feel a bit guilty about having a bit of a crush on the blond cowgirl. 🤠

Definitely the non power reserve one on bracelet.

Is the bracelet a NSA one? It looks like it, if so, it’s worth a few quid in itself.
The watch looks great.

To be honest Paul, in my experience they will fire up more often that they don’t, of course when they don’t it will be the old oil gumming up but I bet it happens less times that it doesn’t .
