So, this just landed on my desk this morning and I'm as happy as a pig in the you-know-wotsit! It's only taken a mere 6 and 1/2 years to find a replacement since this silly-billy sold his original 'Jan sale' bargain on this here forum. I paid a fair bit more this time around, but it's worth every pe...

Damasko DS30 on a Hirsch James performance strap. I’m not sure about it and seem to be struggling to find the perfect strap pairing for this watch.

Grand watch for a few Friday evening beers.

Anyone in the USA get this email? AFAIK, it's just an Ebay UK thing atm. Although it has rolled out in a few other countries, so keep an eye out. I really didn't make sense there :? What I meant was that it was trialled in Germany and they found it drove numbers up, so expect to see it rolled out a...

Corrrr ... that's a beaut! Out of interest, do you have the full set?

It was 12.8%, but then a further "regulatory tax" was also being applied. A very significant chunk on watches. It's a very welcome move, but then it had to happen because eventually most people would be selling outside of Ebay on the likes of Vinted, Depop etc. And for info, I've been in t...

Not daydreaming. Blue sky really does exist in South Wales!

Couple of alternatives if I may (price low->high) ... Hamilton Jazzmaster Thinline - 40mm. These can be had for crazy cheap new (sub-£300) and even use the ETA2892-A2 movement. https://danielgerard.lu/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/h38525811-1.png Hamilton Intra-matic - 38mm. Again, excellent sub-£400 d...

Thanks for that! It would be interesting to see the back of the moon disk. There is a lot of space between the JJ and where the top dial affixes. https://wornandwound.com/library/uploads/2024/04/ChristopherWard_Moonphase_11.jpg Looking at this image from Worn & Wound, there is quite a large gap...

That is the module. I believe the moonphase disc is friction fitted to the large brass post in the middle, with the hands fitted to the smaller posts poking out at the very top. The sw200 base movement is fitted underneath, hence the crown at the bottom. There are 3 fixings on the very top edge of t...

Monta Noble today. A gorgeous dial, very similar to the Oris Clean Ocean ...

I assume we are talking reassuringly expensive prices. At some point I expect buyers will no longer be happy to pay excessively to get what other brands provide as standard. Just a few years back, they were very reasonably priced at around the £80 mark from boutiques. Then Omega cottoned on to the ...

And likewise, it gives piece of mind that if you describe and photograph a watch honestly, then there is little-to-no chance of a comeback from unscrupulous buyers due to it going through this process.
