Thorin Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I've always thought Breitling a bit too fussy for my liking, nice though. I would like a nice Omega or TAG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz6002 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 perfect timing this thread anyone know a good place to get a fairly old watch valued and find out some more information on it? There are a few watch forums. I'm a member on www.tz-uk.co.uk and that's a pretty good place to start.

Rob Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 This is my one, A rather grubby looking actually ( I must give it a clean ) SeaWolf Avenger. Don't know quite why it has such an agressive name, but its good for 3000m deep! 3km underwater, or nearly 2 miles. I couldn't even get to the bottom of the diving pool.

j_jza80 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I've just bought myself a new toy It's a Cristopher Ward C4 Peregrine, BBMF limited edition. Only 100 were made and were offered almost exclusively to the Battle of Britain Memorial flight crew. Mine's number 99 It's a quartz movement, but it's the design and exclusivity I like about his watch. As a brand, I think Christopher Ward are fantastic, and will be buying one of their auto movement dress watches before long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I'd love one of these, but if I ever have £270,000, I'm sure a watch will be low down on the list http://cdn.slashgear.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/cabestan_winch_tourbillon_vertical_1-366x480.jpg http://cdn.slashgear.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/cabestan_winch_tourbillon_vertical_4.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 That's really nice. How old is it? The watch? It's not very old. Say 10 years or so. Perfect condition though. I've just had it serviced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Thanks I was suprised to find its actually much nicer in the flesh than pictures make out I would highly recommend a Christopher Ward watch to anyone who wants a high quality watch at a more affordable price (most are between £300 and £1000) http://www.christopherward.co.uk/ Christopher wards C60 Trident is heavily influenced by the classic Submariners http://www.christopherward.co.uk/new-arrival/c60-tri-skbrg22.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 The Navitimers are a classic, some of the best looking watches available. Shame I've got small wrists Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Class One Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I've become very interested in watches over the last couple of years. I sported a Breitling Aerospace for a while but I sold it in 2009. I also had a Dubois et Fils 1912 Chronographe 18ct white gold case with a Valjoux 7751 movement. However times have changed and spending too much money on a watch is a thing of the past. Recently I bought this. It was cheap and looks ok for the money. And then I bought this last week. It uses a Seiko VK63 quartz with a mechanical stepper attached for the chrono function (mecaquartz). I like it, it has good wrist presence, I love the pvd finish on the case and I'll post up some better pics if you're interested. My next one is something German, quite different and when I've got it I'll put some pics up. I don't want to tell what it is yet as they're on back order and I want to bag one first!
