Video of a humble Seiko watch repair/restoration, but I found it fascinating.

Well done. You convinced me not to try to recondition my 911 dials myself.

Whilst I was in the jewellers, I started to look at the Tudor range, in particular the Black Bay 58. I’ve never really considered a Tudor, but was impressed by the quality. I now find they do a bronze version which I’ve seen on the web. I’m not sure which stockists have it available.
Any thoughts.
Hi Bob,

Tudor are generally pretty well made, way back when, they shared a lot with Rolex but have developed into their own brand moreso now.

I have a Pelagos and a Celebration, very different in appearance but both wear nicely. I have looked at a Black Bay as well, could easily see me buying one.
It’s been a few weeks since I was mulling over a new watch choice.
I’m pleased to say I’ve just taken the plunge on a Tudor, a Black Bay 58 with the black dial and bezel. It has the stainless bracelet and the Nato strap.

I have a young chap at work that's looking to sell a couple of watches. He bought them as an investment and now wants to buy a house and is building up a deposit.

I'm a Breitling man so don't know anything about these two. he has all paperwork and receipts from when he bought them.

I will pass on your details if anyone is interested.

Thanks

Or if 2012 has relevance to you that’s it’s issue number!
