Mark Connolly Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Further to my previous posts about my upcoming 40th birthday, I seem to be stuck in a constant “Seamaster. No, Speedmaster, No, Seamaster” loop. I’m as decisive as Peter Pawlett I’m a 1v1. I’ve made no decision, and fallen over, hoping it will be made for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pawlett's a diving b*****d so go for the Seamaster. (Your subconscious was already telling you this) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to add something to the mix, the ceramic DSOTM is on sale at Ernest Jones just now. It’s a stunning watch. There is also an extra 15% off code floating about. On top of that you can get 5 years interest free credit. An absolute bargain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm tempted by the Jayjay Okocha Jaeger Lecoutre Master Ultra Thin to add to my collection or possibly the Reverso. Seem to be decent enough prices on Chrono24 for such a well known manufacturer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega have made that decision easier with the revamped Seamaster 300 which I was just reading about. I think it looks brilliant in SS with a black dial. Will retail at about £5K: They've also released a version in what they call 'bronze gold' which is a gold/copper/silver/palladium alloy with a blackened copper sandwich dial which, with my conservative tastes, is as near to a 'one watch to rule them all' as I have seen as it's both really elegant and also sporty. I'd sell one of my well run-in kidneys to buy one: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect fit, that's a really good case size for your wrist, I'm personally not a massive fan of chrono dials but that's not too cluttered so looks good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greendot Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Something a bit different for me this time. Bought an ebay Ingersoll watch from 1965 to have a tinker with. It was listed as having a probable mainspring issue (broken / missing) so I'll need to see if i can source that. I've just opened up the back to take a look and things appear to be pretty clean in there but I'll have to get some watch oils and a couple of extra tools i think so i can 'practice' servicing it. Only cost £14.99 delivered so haven't broke the bank with it! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
