It's water resistant to 30m, and though the battery is flat it does tell the right time twice a day.

If anyone is interested in those and other fantastic vintage watches then check out: www.timeman.net
Great guy to deal with but now with the Dollar exchange rate its a bit of a ball ache.

(It's for a photo shoot, so it doesn't even necessarily have to work.  )

Also, does anyone have any recommendations where I could get this fixed in London? I think the winding coil/spring needs replacing.

Watch Collectors โ Buy & Sell, by jkesquire on Nov 20, 2018 20:07:22 GMT 1, Hello! I'm looking to acquire my first nice watch and before I started saving I figured I'd reach out on here. I'm ideally looking for a Rolex or Breitling. Preferably something vintage and fun. Obviously I'm new to this particular 1st world hobby, and am open to suggestions on brands/models. I have a TON of art I can offer as a swap: Shepard Fairey, Kaws, Warhol, Keith Haring, Barry McGee, Jeff Koons, Damien Hirst, John Baldessari, Richard Prince, D*face, Bast, and many many more. I'm looking for a straight swap or swap plus cash, so please keep that in mind when sending an offer. If your interested, please shoot me a DM with a pic of the watch and its model information. For an idea of what art is available, please take a look at my Instagram (ChristofferGaddini) or my webshop, gaddinigallery.com. Thanks in advance!

Art, watches, and fine spirits are the three things I plan on collecting the rest of my life. I've got two luxury watches, and cabinet full of great whiskey and tequila, and a couple of nice pieces of art, and I love the idea of this trade. Unfortunately I dont have anything to trade at the moment, but I hope you end up making a nice trade for yourself. You can never go wrong with a strong timepiece! I'd recommend Rolex over Breitling personally but that is totally up to you, of course! GLWTT |

Not quite fair I know because they are both real watch houses, make movements, etc - yes I know - but more so in terms of being ubiquitous, the brand that everyone in every resort has, etc. Go into the niches and find something cool and less common. Enjoy, it's another wormhole to fall down.

When looking at vintage watches be careful, it can be a minefield out there.

Thereโs been a few watch threads on here over the years and some nice Rolex owned by members. Always wanted a vintage Rolex.
I own a limited edition 1972 Oris Chronoris, superb watch but hardly wear it as I was given a IWC portugeiser chronograph from a family member who passed. I have promised the to wear it every day then pass it down to my son when I pop my cloggs๐

I have two B&R. Cracking watches.
This Bell & Ross Watch BR 01 94 B-Rocket Limited Edition is one of them.
If you like a large face this one and a number from their range is 46mm.

Definitely agree - Quality is superb! When you look for a diver: Price-Value wise the Tudor Pelagos is my favorite - I own one and I love it - also own a SeaDweller for comparison! With the Tudor you get in house manufacture movement, Titanium case and bracelet, ceramic bezel with nice illumination, no "bubble" lense for date, Chronometer (COSC) certified, 500m depth rating, 70 hours power reserve, Helium Escape Valve, the nice Snowflake hands and an innovative extension system for the bracelet. You can get one for about 2800โฌ full set - that's 70% less than a SeaDweller. |
