    Yes, I keep having to buy more whisky, it's amazing how quickly it evaporates once it's open.

    These two are my most recent buys, the Rotary is a really solid and well built beastie and the Seconda was pretty much thrown in on the deal and I do like the vintage look of it.
    As a side note Roy the Mondaine look a like I bought from Amazon is enjoying a holiday somewhere in Germany having been sent to the wrong distribution hub, should be here next week.
    They're interesting Ian. Only thing I'm wary of with second hand quartz watches is how much life's left in the battery but having said that if you get them cheaply enough it's not much more to get the battery replaced or even do it yourself with the right tools (cheap enough to obtain off ebay or Amazon).

    Another Parnis today

    In 2017 on AOS I described the unusual, and nice way, a Tudor Oyster Prince 34 Tuxedo 7950 was given to me. Has anyone an idea of the current approximate value of this watch? I am wondering if I should sell it as I don't make use it.

    Many thanks.

    Thanks Grant, I would never guessed it would be worth that much. I would have guessed about £750.

    May be worth seeing what Watchfinder will offer you? They've been quite fair with me in the past albeit on trade ins.
