Very nice.
My Spinnaker Bradner is up for sale at the moment. It's a startling piece but I've worn it now and it's time to move on to something else. I have a strict one-in / one-out policy to reduce the piles of watches building up. :lol:

Unmarked. Fully boxed set with full bracelet, all the bits plus a sand colouredsailclothrubber strap too. £200 if anyone's interested. Still £370 at Jura without the extra strap.

Looks lovely Rob but I'm going to have to pass I'm afraid, really need to move a few more on first (might actually adopt your one in / one out policy).
I know the feeling!
You don't have a Seiko SSG001 by any chance do you?
Which one’s that Rob?
think that is a gps signal watch??
One of these...

No, I’ve actually only got one chronograph, a Tag Monaco.
Lovely!
Which calibre, 2, 11, 12?
Very lovely!
Nice Roy. Orange and Seiko
That is a corker...love the orange dial...but..tut tut Roy...give it a clean...it will love you for it...Quote:

If you want muck what about the content of the clasp on this sub? :spew:

Damasko and Sinn do it the very best in my opinion, Sinn especially. Mind you, as Helmut Sinn was a pilot, I can understand his passion for fast referencing...

Damasko DC66

that is amazing...the watch is in a disgraceful state...who lets a Rolex get like that?....filthy dirty rotten....the watch looks new when they have finished with it...I'm sceptical it is the same watch..If it is..I wonder how much that cost...Quote:

Today's new arrival
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...825c9d70_o.jpg
Bit of a 'barn find' this, has sat in a drawer unloved for almost 40 years, just stuck a new battery in it and it's ticking away merrily :)
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...1f6eecc8_o.jpg
pretty enough find that.
That's a nice piece. I'm still trying to find an Accurist diver's from the late 80s that looked a bit like a Tag. I had one but can't remember what happened to it. Lovely thing. Can't even find a photo of one.Quote:

Quite a nice sterile homagehttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...3d242a31c0.jpg
