Anyone keen on watches?

Quite classy that one - I don't like self winders though, don't see the point. What's wrong with a battery?

Nothing at all.

But I have much more pride of ownership in my little examples of horological art than my g-shocks.

Value wise also quartz watches, for the most part, are almost throw away whereas when I move even my Ali Express specials on via ebay they mostly get their money back.

I much prefer a self winder, especially if it’s a watch you don’t wear very often (which I dare bet Roy has more than a few!) nothing worse than going to put a watch on and the battery has given up the ghost (ok, lots worse, first world problem…)

For my battery watches I get them done at Timpsons with the lifetime guarantee - pay a bit more once, but then free replacements for ever.

Get mine done by the watch bloke down the market. It's only a few hundred yards away and I have to force the money on him as he always says 'no charge.'

He doesn't like my taste in watches though.

Easy enough to replace your own watch batteries and they're pennies to buy
