If you'd asked me this question two years ago I'd have said up to 10k easy. But last year I started full time work, and I bought my hammy on sale for £540. It's a fantastic watch and I'm very happy with it but I will never pay more than £500 on a watch again. It hurt

Thought so, thanks for confirming my suspicions. Interesting about the mono block design I wasn't aware of that, though it shouldn't be too much of a surprise as the British Army were doing the same thing around that time. That is a gorgeous example I couldn't possibly tempt you to sell or trade at all could I? 😏

I do believe they may be attempting to have you on. As a buyer, you are protected by the Consumer Rights Act of 2015. In the CRA it states you have the right to 'A product of satisfactory quality', and if said item is not you have the right to a repair, replacement or refund. As said above, you cannot change your mind about which option you want unless you 'allow the chosen retailer reasonable time to complete that chosen remedy'. Six and a half months sounds like more than enough reasonable time

That red and black leather is simply stunning

commented on Why japanese brands are the pinacle of horology. ·

The pinnacle of horology is currently sat in Perth, Australia. It is a variation on the Atomic clock principle, and is accurate to plus or minus one second in 14 Billion years. Basically if someone started that clock at the moment the Lord created all, it would still be dead on. Horology is the study of Keeping time, not the study of Watchmaking. A £5K Grand Seiko Spring drive is not the pinnacle of Horology
