That's a bit extreme isn't it? Did the poor child scream?
Hey Bry1975,
Can you post photos of your finished job?
Ta.
Guess what? After two years the pip's just fallen off my GSAR too.
I'd be interested to know who you went to in the end and what you think of the job.
Thanks in advance.
Please, please, please, please, please don't put on the silver hands.
Every cheapo Argos / Elizabeth Duke special has plated / silver hands.
Anything other than silver...

I still believe the silver & luminous hands make it look cheap.
I have a few cheap watches, they all have silver & luminous hands.
Ho-hum.
Sorry,
Plug in Baby was good but after that, yawn.
Prog-rock for 21st century teenagers. Well up their own arses.
Nice guys I've heard though...
Thanks, for what I'm aiming for I don't need a date window, so what xpatUSA did to the Hamilton is exactly what I'm after.
I'm assuming that if I redial say, a SpeedbirdII with a Yao dial (no date...
This may have been asked a hundred times before...
Is it possible to make a left handed crown version of a Speedbird / MKIII Pilot / O&W etc simply by rotating the dial 180 degrees?

Hi,
How much is a Speedbird / PRS-1 changing hands for these days?
Ta.
Final fling for this, sadly I need to sell it in the new year...

I like that 856 Henrik, always wanted one.
Bought a GSAR from Chris Hooper (Netherlands) no problems.

Hope that helps.
Still a favourite...

So that was Friday, nice...
Thanks,
PM sent.

Thanks,
I guess that was my question:
"Anyone know a good guy to do a battery and re-seal?"
Ta.
Hi all,
Finally, the battery on my trusty St Moritz has given up. I'd like to retain the water resistance, what's my best option for getting it changed?
Thanks in advance.

Well, in Tokyo it is and I really can't sleep.

Titanium IWI 40mm.
Stop messing about and get a GSAR.
I usually wear my watches for a couple of days then get bored. The GSAR seems to hang aroung for a couple of weeks each time.
You won't regret it.
Or a Marathon GSAR?
Steel

Automatic
Tritium dial
Nice bracelet available for them too, unlike a lot of others.
