Re: Off topic watch chat for the horologists out there
Question - I have a watch with a Sellita SW200 automatic movement that has stopped running.
Can someone suggest a good guy to send it to for repair?
I know this has been asked before but I can't locate a recent answer.
Thanks.

Cool. It's fitted in a not particularly expensive watch and I gather that my experience with this movement failing after little use is not unusual.Bootsy wrote:I can get it sorted for you if you want - my watchmaker has worked on them
Ah well - how do I proceed Bootsy?

From an age when computers didn’t rule the world and you changed the time with a magnet! A beautiful Omega Time Computer 2 - you won’t see many of these in stainless (usually gold) and this one has a new module fitted (original also included) https://www.heuerheritage.co.uk/omega-t ... 4592404419

Very nice. I think you also need to post on Hoxton Hippsters forum!

Both look like a 3D rendering. So both are fake in a digital sense.

Re: Off topic watch chat for the horologists out there
A question for those more knowledgeable than me.
I am seriously considering selling my Bremont ALT1-C that I have had for many years and wondered where would be best to do so other than the likes of eBay. I have the box papers etc.
Don't worry Jason, it's not the Bremont you found for me nearly 9 years ago!
