Largely I guess because most waterproof watches, even divers don't see more water than a splash from the washing up bowl..?Quote:

flash highlighted some dust
Out with the duster then.! Looks beautifully old school, but noticed 'co-axial' on the dial, I thought that was a more modern Omega thing, but perhaps not...Quote:

Sorry Roy, I can't find out how to send the photo, Photobucket says I'm not allowed
I've long since given up on Photobucket.Quote:

Bought this for my wife's Christmas a few years ago, she loves it [emoji4]
Was just a pity that it didn't arrive until after the New Year due to a Royal Mail hiccup [emoji3525]
Still, she was delighted with it once it did turn up.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...9a4f428ded.jpg
Pretty watch.Quote:

Hope this has worked
Nearly! If you include a bit more of the link address with image tags the pictures should display in the post

Nice piece by the way!

Certainly stands out Roy. Need to have a look see. EBay is it?
The blue one was from Steeldive’s website but one of the others was from eBay, they have NH35 movements.Quote:

Love it - totally bling free and anonymous! But maybe I'm being seduced by the black and white photograph?Quote:

Still like it! :)
I am not keen on most of the watches on this thread, ie the "Sub look a likes" but that bling free black faced watch with white hands and numerals is lovely.
Is that a "Cheapie" @Roy S?
Yes. It’s a sterile dial Parnis, can’t recall exactly but probably around the £40 mark.Quote:

That said, as an example of "watch of the day", it is one of the nicest shown to date.
My parner picked this up at a boot sale - think she paid less than £10 for it and it's unused, complete with all packaging and paperwork.
Fossil Arkitekt 'Speedway' FS-3071

Is it a good watch?
Just means no branding or logo on the face. Here's the unsterile version (different movement, has a date window + slightly larger face & a fancier crown).Quote:

I have a number of Fossil watches & whilst they're really a fashion brand they're reasonable watches in their own right & you got a bargain there I'd say. Is it working? I'm guessing it's quartz (battery).Quote:
