Not to rain on your parade, but these are only £300 from planet x right now.

That's proper beautiful. Halfway tempting just to hang it on a wall.

A pair, 32 hole, tubular. They've been used, so there is wear to the braking surfaces, but plenty of life left. Pictures to follow. £40 posted?

Cool, thanks :)

Oooh, could be what I've had an eye out for. Is it in Milton Keynes as your location suggests? That's not too far off. Could get you a bottle of wine or something in return? Obviously I mainly lurk on here, if anyone who's a regular poster pipes up, I'm happy to step aside

Yes please :)

Had it apart, looks like one of the dial legs has detached, one is okay. Rotated the internal ring thingy back to where it ought to be, and reassembled. Seems to be doing alright. Dunno why Animal didn't just reply with "one of the dial legs is broken, would you like us to change the...

Aha! Thank you :) It's slightly academic now (I've bought another watch). I would kinda like to see it working properly again, though.

Okay, I've been poking around, and I give up. How do you get the stem out?

That's pretty much my problem with it! :) I'm 5'7" - but it's really too small for me. I'd sorta suspect you'd want to be 5'3"ish to ride it comfortably. Obviously you're welcome to come and have a look/sit on. I don't have enough parts kicking around to build it up completely, but I can...

Bump. I'd sorta like the space back :)

... and make mine the 4th you've seen.

Mine has 78 stamped on the back - and I don't think I bought it particularly early in the line. So I reckon there aren't that many of them around.

Yeah, my googling kinda revealed pretty much the same. I've sent a few emails off to watchmakers, and we'll see - but I suspect it may be pretty uneconomical for what's really a fairly cheapish watch.

Right, so I have my W004 back now. Animal said that the dial feet have broken - anyone sufficiently well versed in watches to know how repairable they are, and if so, how much I'd be looking at?

Yeah, they've said they no longer have the parts needed to repair mine :( I've just bought a cheapish W002 off ebay, which will do for a bit, but it's not really what I'm after. I can see this ending up being a whole collection of Animal watches whilst I hunt for something I'm happy with :S

Fair enough - if you're wearing it I guess I can't lay claim to it :) I reckon, through some idle watching, tha the normally go for £40 or £50 on eBay.

If you still have it and are after selling it, I'd love it. :) My W004 (that I've worn for 12 years) has just died :(

Also interested :)

If someone wants the frame, and not the wheels, I'm happy to split.
