At Bristol GTG I did ask Mike if a 2 year guarantee was given on a service and did state that is the case.

Re: Slight signs of wear #2

I thought about it for myself but I have gone a bit mad this year with £13k spent so far and a big purchase in the offing in the next couple of weeks. I have purchased a few watches from Roy when he used to assemble his own. he is a good bloke to deal with.

Re: Will Patina from C60 Bronze stain clothes?
