It’s alright if you are into rare high end watches with great brands and precious metals. Not at all jealous. However, if you feel the need to sell at well below market value I’m here for you.

Lovely collection. I’d check out Christopher Ward, it has some colourful and beautifully finished watches that could fit in your collection. Although maybe a little more expensive, they represent amazing bang for buck. Online only.

Couldn’t agree more. One day you will be a man, and buy a man’s watch is what springs to mind when I see this. Totally unjustified, but what the heck.

My first watch, bought in 1979 by my gran when I was 6. I was unusual as despite quartz being cool in the 80s, I stuck it out with this until I was 18! Unfortunately, it now no longer winds, and no one will touch it for repairs, which is a shame, as I still remember the distinct and loud ticking noise it made.

commented on Power Reserve Query · 4 weeks ago

Power reserve is totally pointless, as either I were daily, so maybe 8 hours overnight does the job, or it’s part of a rotation, so it’s still gonna need resetting. Ease of setting date and time is way better than 72hours power reserve.

Should I swap my 2 line Submariner to a leather strap?

Just recently added my 14060m sub to collection, and had intended to swap to a leather strap, the way Sean Connery wore it. But, actually enjoying the bracelet which is very comfortable.

Watch for my son?

£750 budget, could be used, but a gateway into watches. (His interest started with a moonswatch, go figure.) I’m thinking non quartz if possible?
