Nice. Caught up with an old mate last night and he has one, never used to like them but seeing ne in the flash made me reconsider. However I just exchanged on a house yesterday so will now have to impose a budget of £500 max. Makes it more difficult, sorry! I was thinking something more out there, and lesser known like a PolJot?benny.c said:
1980's......vintage? God, I must be getting old.
Can't we call 80's watches retro? It'll make me feel better
Ha! I meant vintage as in not 2nd hand.. older! 30 years older ! ;P Can't we call 80's watches retro? It'll make me feel better
When I think of retro watches I think of a new watch with a retro style, and lots of weird casios with calculator functions!

Any more ideas on a Sub £500 19080's watch? I was thinking ex Helicopter Pilot Seiko Chronograph may be worth a shout. I think they are quartz though, but that doesn't bother me so much as the military issue part will bump up the interest factor ;P
Are you on TZ?I have a very nice Zenith Port Royal quartz from around 1980 that is available..

Good year to be born 1980
That Speedy pro looks fantastic, I wouldn't have thought many of them would still have the box's anymore either.
I'm still recovering from purchasing a PO for my 30th so it will be a while till I pick up a birth year watch but I'm thinking it'll be either a Sub or Air King I go for.
How about this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1980-Omega-9ct-Gold-Presenta... nice history to it too.
TZ-UK still take newcomers, try signing up during office hours, thats how I got in.

1980; a superb year, in fact, to be born
(I'll be 30 in October).
That brand new 1980 speedy really is tempting - for only £1600 or so I think it was too. Fantastic value.
I'm thining about another watch, and considering a vintage Monaco, but there's so many lovely watches out there, it's difficult!
