I've been having a bit of a clear out recently, mainly moving on the 'big' watches (this one's 48mm excluding the crown) and was going to list this on ebay.Quote:

Nasty Casio for today, not even a g shock!, got some diy to do. Solar powered so probably the only watch you’d ever need.

Small pilot’s watch today (type A flieger). Selling this one on eBay as I’ve got an almost identical San Martin sterile dial version I prefer.

stylish. suit watch or casual too
Just saw this Hamilton watch currently going on auction. Seller says it needs a service. What year is this watch from? 1970s?

S.
looks nearer mid 40's to me. i had one similar tho not same years ago. that one looks to need more work than its worth tbh.. just gold filled so no real value in case
Unless you know someone like this dude probably best avoidedQuote:

Yep, mesh strap can make even an Invicta look classy!Quote:

Had the back off and regulated it, losing a minute an hour now.

Bought from an authorized dealer, who have bought from before, and checked with Tag . I like the style and they don’t really lose money. At my age you have to enjoy a few treats, vinyl, watches, wine, whisky, decent car etc., and some new hifi every so oftenQuote:

An Aquaracer would make a nice addition to the collection ;)
The missus has a Tag (that I bought for her of course)

Very elegant looking watches: the great majority of which use a leather strap. No chunky tachymetre controls or excessively thick and heavy diving watches. Like the use of a single hand - I've not seen that before.
