Seiko 5 bought in Changi village, Singapore 1969

A slightly sad theme here really. My Seiko was a very accurate watch at that time. Now in the back of a drawer for many years. Box and papers in archive. Worth nothing now but takes up little space, so why throw away? Just part of my history. The Avia was...

Saw this many years ago in a shop window and naively liked the art-deco dial. Complete with contemporary jeweller's box. Recently serviced and going well although not very accurate. Clive For the youngsters among us, UK 7gns=£7.35 ...  

Very cool looking Rolex

You purchasing decision sounds perfect! I've more than once gone past a jewellers and stopped dead - only to come out slightly poorer shortly after. Thanks for sharing Cheers JML

Charming Rolex Clive. It’s testimony of...

Wow - that almost counts as watch archeology!

And a story to match - I wonder what my final unpacking of all the boxes in storage through our moves will unveil 😁

My Tag Heuer 2000 bought in 1994. Had not seen it for more than 10 years, until a few weeks ago. My son's SKX009-J sort of gave up.

 
 By: Bobbe : October 9th, 2020-08:55
So I gave him my Tag Heuer. I changed the strap for the original bracelet, which was a little to big. I gave him the address of of a jeweler and told him, tell the owner I bought this watch from his father. The owner liked the story. ...  

Great watch and story Bobbe!! It is wonderful...
