Some of those are very nice, looks like the original Speedmaster Automatic watch with styling from Swatch, I like the grey version, although some are a bit…er…..odd shall I say I had a very nice Speedy Auto same as this but it was from the Omega Olympic collection, I sold it as I have never been keen on chronos, preferring simpler face designs. Regards David Lovely i6 has now gone, but not me...... Please let me know if anything in my post offends you, as I may wish to offend you again...... |

I like the Mercury version, problem is after reading the spec’s your paying £200 for a plastic…oops sorry Bioceramic cased quartz movement and it’s only 3bar proof……it’s a very, very cheap watch and your paying £170 for the design. Regards

I have no interest in watches but was staggered that someone would pay £155k for a broken watch, rare or not

In the Times this morning . During WW2 the Luftwaffe seized all military watches from allied aircrew . Oddly they let Rolex supply new ones to officers via the Red Cross on a ‘ pay later agreement ‘

This is true it’s well known, and these watches are sought after by collectors, they are just the normal everyday (for 1940’s) Rolex watch, not a military issue version (which are extremely sought after) but it is the history behind them that makes them valuable.

JLR is offering a limited edition watch. Built by Bamford not JLR so it wont breakdown hopefully.

I never wear one nowadays. I have a Swiss watch lost in a drawer somewhere. If I want a watch, a £10 one from Samuals does the job. Seriously, expensive Swiss Watches are very nice pieces of engineering, and that is what interests most people. |
