    A nice pair, I'm guessing getting a new battery for the Breitling won't be a cheap exercise? That's why I stick to automatics (although strictly you're supposed to get them serviced periodically). Would like to see the Speedmaster when you find it.

    Here’s another of my Seikos

    £60 for the new battery, which is fine, it's the postal insurance when mailing it that gets me.
    I found my Speedmaster and it's a trashed as i remember, too many years wearing it at work as a MET fitter.
    I'll get a quote to restore it, but my guess is it'll be uneconomic to repair it.

    The speedmaster is a very nice watch, I had to choose between a Seamaster and a speedmaster a few years ago, I went for the Seamaster. It was a great watch, I really enjoyed wearing it and only recently sold it, but I think I'll always want a speedmaster. If you get chance pop some pics on, I'd love to see it, even as it is now.

    Added this to the collection, to wear at the beach etc, not too bothered if it gets scuffed.
    Mind you, the accuracy is absolutely amazing, to within seconds a year, and despite being quartz , the fly back second hand sweeps smoothly.
    Anyone remember the old radio ad...When you know what makes a watch tick, you’ll buy a Bulova?

    Now that's more like it - everything you would want from a watch, with none of the 'bling'.
