I hadn't heard of them before this, but going by the organisations who commissioned timepieces from them, they deserve the greatest of respect.Quote:

That is very interesting, thank you. The uncle that gave me the watch was in the RAF during the war, it's possible this a reason he bought a Lemania.Quote:

That's nice, been looking at those 'presage' Seikos, a lot of variety with retro styling. Most of them under £500 as well. Some of the Grand seikos look very nice though, i been looking at second hand ones.Quote:

Some of the old watches with a patina on the dial actually look very tasteful, when the metal work is polished a bit, the patina stands out nicely.Quote:

I'd like one of these Omegas, but think they go for around £1000 - £2000 depending on whether bought off ebay or from a dealer, I do worry about authenticity, so just getting something like a new Grand seiko around £3k might make more sense, as servicing these old watches ain't cheap either. This is one of Don's watches from 'Mad Men'.

And the rest of the casts, the Rolex as worn by Roger looks amazing also, second from right.

Nice, I'm after a vintage watch with a white dial, 90% of them seem to be champagne.Quote:
