Thanks! They're hard to track down in this condition these days and there's a right few horrors on eBay!

New arrival today, 7a28 703b from December 1982.

My trio of tachymeter bezel 28's is now complete!

Another JDM Speedmaster added to my collection today. August 1983, making this 36 years young! This one's never been brushed.. never polished.. OE bezel, the lot. Took a while... but I'm chuffed to...

Thanks Chris.. I've been on the hunt for a LONG time for this one and stumbled on it in the edge of a photo of another 7A28 I was buying! Chanced my arm... and turns out it was one he was thinking of...

Another 7A added to the ranks today......

Here you go... bit grainy off the phone, cropped.. but you can see it alright here. Took a while to catch on.. but the seconds hand is a tail fin too.

Creation Watches. Pick Royal mail delivery for £7 and it'll be dispatched from the UK with no duty. Got it for about £130 delivered which is an utter bargain for what it is.

Mini Ice Monster with the 4R36 movement. My 1st automatic in the background... the mini neo monster (7S36 IIRC). Great fun for little money. <£200 for the pair of them!
...

Since the poster of that hasn't seen the 2 questions about the strap... I'll point you in the right direction... Its from Cousins UK and is a Rolex Sub clone strap. Costs about a tenner!

A recent fixer upper project watch, completed today. 1993 7T32-6D90. It was sold as not working - but just had a seized case back. New battery, case clean-up and a NOS strap and it's good as new!...

I'd love to add a 4th to my 7A38 lot... but can't find one that hits the spot... finding good ones takes time (and luck!)

eBay strikes again! A 1990 7T32 Alarm Chrono. Despite their faults, I love these movements - with a completely independent 2nd timezone at 6 o'clock and that cool whizzy alarm mode where the hands...

I've been waiting and watching for a Weekdater for a LONG time... then in the space of one week... this happens!

Both come...

A new arrival yesterday - a Bell-Matic from 1976 and in amazing condition for its age. Love the quirkiness of it.. with its mechanical alarm.

SSA309J1 on a custom shark skin strap today. A bit blurry on my phone pic.. but the deepest of blue dials on this.

Brilliant! Steve Burrage of ryte time http://www.rytetimewatchrepairs.co.uk/ knows these well and did work on my 7T32 if you need someone to do the job.


EDIT: NOS movements are still about too...

No.. we're talking about the same one.. and I'm wrong! I'm used to seing the 7t32 crowns being the same size - and those 2 (or the pic angle) made me think there was only one! Doh!

I suspect its a 7T62. The 32 has 2 x crowns, this has only one.
