That was exactly what I was thinking when I read it!


Just editing to add The Breitling Watch Source is a great forum/website for all things Breitling and they have a sales corner.

Those Trans Oceans are one of my dream watches, for many years greatly under appreciated, but now rising in value.

Oh, the shame! Hoist by my own retard.

Before buying the 1962 Seiko Crown I picked up this 1973 Seiko Automatic. It cost buttons. I really like its simplicity and its feeling of quality. The face is a lovely blue that does not show its full prettiness in this picture. The watch keeps good time but like most old watches must not be worn when doing the washing up.

Seiko are famous for their great blue dials

That's really nice BV, my Dad had three or four Seiko's like that in the '70s. We couldn't afford a car or expensive holidays back then, but if he banged a bit of overtime in he'd treat himself to a new watch to go with his 'Dave Allen' three piece suit!

Mind if I ask how much you paid for it...?

65 quids.

Also, please read your PMs.

That will be as waterproof as Seiko originally intended with new seals and a service. Providing that the case hasn't corroded, but it isn't likely.

The tool for the job is called polywatch.
But you can do it with any polishing compound, even toothpaste (apparently).

You genius!


Having damaged the crystal on my rather lovely 1962 watch by wearing it when fixing my rather lovely 1962 car, I have fixed the damage by using Sensodyne. I wish that I could fix my rather unlovely 1962 self so easily.

[mikeveal]

You're very welcome sir.


Did you find the Chronotrader forum? Should be ideal for selling your Breitling.

You can't use oral products to fix your aging personage (I can say that 'cus I ain't far behind), but for the 1962 car, you could always try a bit of fixodent.

Absolutely love my seikomaster. I believe is a 60s watch??

[anonymous-user]

It is a cool watch. It looks 60s or 70s to me, but best to ask Mikeveal or GC8.

In for a service and seals now.

It's in good condition and is running well so far. It's a hand winder.

OK, I now have five dress watches and two sports watches, ranging from 1957 through 1962 and 1997 to 2020. NO MORE WATCHES.

That’s not going to happen.

CURSE YOU...

What're you complaining about, it's just another wind up...

With Joe? He is just finishing off my Speedmaster for me.

[anonymous-user]

Some bloke in Jersey whom I've used before for a repair.

[anonymous-user]

I need a Speedmaster repair - may try Joe for that one.
