Haven't worn the Breitling for so long the battery has gone flat again :doh:
I've got an Omega Speedmaster somewhere, not seen it since i moved house :scratch:

A nice pair, I'm guessing getting a new battery for the Breitling won't be a cheap exercise? That's why I stick to automatics (although strictly you're supposed to get them serviced periodically). Would like to see the Speedmaster when you find it.

Here’s another of my Seikos

£60 for the new battery, which is fine, it's the postal insurance when mailing it that gets me.
I found my Speedmaster and it's a trashed as i remember, too many years wearing it at work as a MET fitter.
I'll get a quote to restore it, but my guess is it'll be uneconomic to repair it.

The speedmaster is a very nice watch, I had to choose between a Seamaster and a speedmaster a few years ago, I went for the Seamaster. It was a great watch, I really enjoyed wearing it and only recently sold it, but I think I'll always want a speedmaster. If you get chance pop some pics on, I'd love to see it, even as it is now.

Today’s watch is a big old Fossil (like the wearer [emoji846])

Added this to the collection, to wear at the beach etc, not too bothered if it gets scuffed.
Mind you, the accuracy is absolutely amazing, to within seconds a year, and despite being quartz , the fly back second hand sweeps smoothly.
Anyone remember the old radio ad...When you know what makes a watch tick, you’ll buy a Bulova? [emoji16]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...972a581449.jpg

Now that's more like it - everything you would want from a watch, with none of the 'bling'.
