    I have now asked Watchfinder for a valuation, not supplied any photos as the watch is locked away in a safe place at the moment.

    I suppose they will ask for photos.

    Yes they do & the valuation provided is finalised by a physical examination of the watch.

    I like that one Roy, as I said previously I'm rather fond of a blue dial.
    I know what you mean about the state of the battery in a used quartz watch so I've bought some basic tools, case openers, screwdrivers, tweezers etc so I can change the batteries as a matter of course. I've learned that you should use good quality batteries such as Renatta as this reduces the chances of leaks and they generally perform better.
    I've got a couple of automatics coming, pictures to follow when they arrive.

    Some of the backs are a pig to get off & once you’ve managed that getting the battery out isn’t always plain sailing. I’ve never understood why watchmakers don’t adopt the Swatch idea with a little battery door you just need a coin to get off.

    Looking forward to seeing the autos and hope the Mondaine turns up soon.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
