Anyone keen on watches?

[Roy S]

Not bad. What do you call watches that do not have the name of the manufacturer on the watch face?

Think I would prefer the second hand to be straight; though you could always pretend the watch was a Rolex 'Milgauss'.

'Sterile Dial' and I would much prefer a real Milly but they're about 20 times the price of this 'homage'.

Happy bunny - watch back from Tissot today, about £120 for repair (also came with new face, hands, expanding strap bars).

Surprised how much I had missed it and how good it feels to have it back on

Very smart looking watch Guy, like it.

Pleased with my PRX

Yesterday’s and today’s

Not bad - I quite like it, though I would prefer the quarter hour numerals and the batons to be slightly smaller. Fussy bugger that I am!

Much like the Certina and/or the Seiko in the previous post then?

[Barry]

Yes, provided the style of the font used for the numerals could be kept.

Now that's more my thing Roy.

Tudor used to be a 'poor man's Rolex' - I think they used mechanism from another Swiss manufacturer, but were assembled by Rolex. Are they now separate from Rolex?

From Wikipedia -

Montres Tudor SA, or simply Tudor, is a Swiss watchmaker based in Geneva, Switzerland. Registered in 1926 by Hans Wilsdorf, founder of Rolex, the brand remains a sister company to Rolex; both companies are owned by the Hans Wilsdorf Foundation.

And yes, they originally used off the shelf movements in Rolex cases.

Been after one of these ‘1926’ models for a while, took a chance buying this two year old example off eBay but, luckily, it’s immaculate.
