I'd like to donate this Seiko 6309. It was the subject of the Refurbishment tutorial I did back in march, so it's in pretty much as new order.
All working fine.

The work was indeed reasonable. I never expected an STS finish to the case, nor did I want one. I wanted a workaday finish to a watch which I could wear every...
You may remember a few weeks ago, that I bought an vintage Omega Speed master Professional Mk II which at the first sign of a shower showed water inside the case.
I spoke to a few repairers, who...
Welcome!
That could find a home on my wrist, any time. With that kind of style, it doesn't really matter that there isn't a name on the dial, it's what's inside that matters, and it's almost a...
Thats a lovely old thing.

An ultrasonic cleaner can be useful if you are absolutely certain that your watch is water tight. Otherwise any of the solutions above can be worth trying.
If I want to give my watch a thorough...
Today, my lovely vintage 1940's Zenith HW. I'ts only 34mm, though it looks larger because of the very narrow bezel.

Sadly, I'll never know, because it doesn't have the original case back. The chap that serviced it said that it almost certainly is, the dates match.
Whatever, it's still quite rare, and in lovely...
I can't afford the original, but one of these days, I'm going to snap one of those up!! Lovely thing!
Today, another recent addition to my vintage/military collection, this gorgeous little Vertex.

They are fine on modern watches, but frankly, awful on vintage watches.
I feel that in the light of the edit I've made to my OP, that I don't wis to make any futher additions to this thread. It now seems pointless. Others may do so if they wish.
Read my post above.
The same goes for the pair of you.
You have absolutely no idea, and clearly no idea about watches, their construction, and expectation of use.
If you had taken the time to read my posts properly, you wouldn't write such infantile hogwash. You obviously know nothing about watches/watchmaking/horology. Take some time to learn before...
No, he's been on the forum since. I get an email every time a PM is posted... doesn't everone??
OK,
I'll tell you why I'm so bloody annoyed.
I'm a pensioner. I paid ฃ1500 for a vintage chronograph which I had every right to expect I could strap to my wrist and wear as I would any other...
Already a lot of glib replies. I can bet if it had happened to a lot of members here, you wouldn't be so happy to condemn!!
Say you bought a car.... OK, no guarantee, from a friend, newspaper...
In my post I do say that I do not hold the seller responsible for the fault. I do say that I did not expect any service history, nor did I expect the seller to meet 50% of the service cost, except...
I bought a watch last week. Not a cheap watch, at least I don't think so, over ฃ150Watch was delivered on time, no box, no warrantyn but I expected this, it was a vintage classic. Even so, one...
EDIT: I mention somewhere in a later post further down that I suffer from dementia. I should have checked this earlier, and it was perhaps, unforgiveable of me not to have done so, but someone was...
I came across this during a search for a strap for my Speedie pro..... is this at all possible??
20mm NASA NATO ฎ Strap For Omega Speedmaster.
As worn on the moon!

Well, Pinion Watches!! I have admired these watches for quite a while. My sort of watch in fact, with real design integrity.
Seems yet again I owe somebody an apology. Piers, I apologise.
I...
Yet again, somebody speed reads, and misquotes!! I didn't say it takes 20 - 30 years to make an in house movement. What I said was, it can take 20 - 30 years to develop and in house movement, (from...
I've now read the article.

It would seem that I was way off point, and that Bremont have now moved on.
It would appear that I...
