They do mechanical watches as well as quartz. My Gagarin Heritage (centre) and my Sputnik Heritage (right) are both manual wind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't fault it for the simplicity of the dial and the design of the layout. Just absolutely gorgeous. Just need to find the quarter of a million to afford one! Traumatised by the continual stream of bad news on the Motherwell thread I was reading back through this one and came across the "Grail Watches" discussion. This one in particular caught my eye because by happy coincidence I'd just been looking at a video featuring the A. Lange & Söhne 1815 Tourbillon, which makes me go all wobbly in a very good way. I've added that video here, not just because of that watch but also because it is perhaps the most dryly funny watch review video I've ever seen, with a few actual laugh-out-loud moments. Sadly, even if I won the lottery I'd be afraid to actually wear that beauty. However, there are some nice looking tourbillons in the extensive Sugesss range... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also like the look of the one with the beiger dial as well. Kind regards, Big_Steve Hi again all. Perhaps this is stupidity on my part... I now own this watch, but out of the box it is not moving at all. I have tried playing around with the crown and cannot see any plastic tab to remove or anything like that. Any thoughts, gents? Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a dud battery then, shouldn't happen with a new watch though, would just go to one of the Timpsons booths and get them to change it, they're pretty good, I get the guy in Arbroath, to do bracelet changes etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverton End Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 (edited) Picked up this Casio b.n.i.b for £25 from eBay just after Christmas, nice retro look, small at only 36mm but it does not wear small on wrist maybe due to the lug to lug length.

Was going to wear my quartz Sturmanskie today, but battery appears to be dead. Put my manual wind Gagarin on instead. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried SO hard to convince myself I didn’t need one, but once again my willpower was found wanting. In the end I went for their Breguet-inspired model with the floating tourbillon, roman numerals, blued hands, and Clous de Paris dial. I’m glad I did, though, because it’s absolutely stunning and I could watch that tourbillon spin all day long. On a boringly practical note, it seems to be keeping near-perfect time too, if you like that in a watch. The lighting on my own pictures doesn’t do it justice so I’ve included a snippet from the Sugess promotional video alongside an actual Breguet for comparison. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
