Anyone keen on watches?

Some updates

Bit of a green theme there mostly, Roy, I like the Lorus.

I nearly bought a green faced Sekonda, but decided to go black in the end. Realised I have never owned a “gold” watch, and now I am wearing suits more often fancied a bit of bling.

Just got my Versace back from the repairer a couple of weeks ago. Had it about 18 years but not worn in the past couple as the crown undid itself and got lost. Took it back to the jeweller I bought it from and they made me a new crown. I was expecting quite a hefty bill but they only charged me 20 quid! Doesn’t have the logo like the original, but at least I can wear it again now.

Lorus are actually made by Seiko but sell for roughly a third of the equivalent Seiko model, they're fitted with an older movement but still a very good watch for the money.

Other half just had her Tag serviced, £405! but you get a new warranty. They polished all the scratches out of the clasp (she never takes it off) but within a day of getting it back she'd scraped it again!

I wouldn't describe that a 'bling' - far from it.

Oh aye that's very tasty.

I am a big gold watch fan. Gold watch with a black suit is top class.

Just been watching 'Live & Let Die', noticed Bond is wearing the Pulsar P2 which I've got a copy of. Although his is in silver.

Thanks chaps, I must say some of the classic Sekondas are very nice and so cheap - this is a now discontinued model “1664” but picked one up NOS from an Amazon trader for just over 50 quid - can’t complain at that price!

Something very similar I got off Amazon for 20 odd quid and it was an automatic!

That is very nice Roy - unbelievable for 20 notes!
