Wrist watch and timepiece discussion thread

Yes good point.
Mine is well overdue a service and clean-up - and that's something I've been meaning to do for a long time, as the likely bill has always put me off, but the longer I leave it the more it will cost. I'll look in to it.

Pity we hadn’t talked before as my mate has just p/x his sub date against a seadweller. I’d of been interested in your 5 digit if you had bought his but surely if you’ve had it 15 years you could part with it now ?

@GSB nice work, it looks mint..
I bought both my then girlfriend (now wife) and I watches in 96, i've just dug out the soft cases to check the date.. I must have been loved up or something. She still wears hers too, black face, different bezel, they've never cost us anything other than replacement batteries, service and reseal.



My dad never wore a watch, he had the uncanny ability to stop them within hours of putting them on, wind'up, battery it didn't matter.. they just stopped.

This is the but i like with watches. No way I'd do this with rolex.

But...

With the James Bond 60th Anniversary soon, it may be 'time' to bring out the big guns!

Just wish it was in this condition

I also have one of these, given to me for not dying

Its very daft but I secretly rather like it for all its over the top looks

Not into watches and only tend to wear one for work (when not working, I don't like being confined by time ), but I'm fond of this for its reliability and simplicity.

I was very lucky to meet the then owner of TAG Heuer back in 2004, he was late for lunch after the plane he was piloting was struck by lightning
