I've owned and loved my original Heuer Monza and Bulgari Diagono Aluminium Chrono for ages, but couldn't resist buying this time-warp condition PD Orfina 5100 a few days ago......

If anyone fancies giving a good home at a fair price for this Ladies model, drop me a line.....

I just bought my wife a new watch using Tesco vouchers. She is dead chuffed. I will have to send her off shopping more often!

So let me get this right. You sent the Missus shopping, she came back with a Rolex..... and told you she used Tesco vouchers....

Well I think she has been saving them for a couple of years

and she frequents a website that lets you know how to get the best out of the Tesco club points system

so must be my turn next

Kind Regards

After a spending a pleasurable day with my folks the subject got around to various watches my father has stashed away in his safe and how they could all do with a wear/wind and a clean up and I was quite happy to provide such a service!

So last night I took about 10 watches home and started with a polish and clean and photographed them.

First up an Omega - actually in better condition than the pictures make it look, lot's of Wabi!

Another Omega

A Rolex - cleaned this up and it's on my writst today!

a nice Zenith

a Bulova.

A Lord Elgin

Guessing the last two date from about 1930-40. Trying to gather some info on all of them for him.

I'm after a 'pre-moon' Speedy if anyone knows one.
Expecting to pay the same sort of money as for your new one but would like a beat-up, worn-out, over 40 year old wreck (original dial & hands essential).
Do let us know if you hear....

I'll keep my ears open Paul - should be some knocking about

Thanks Doug. Looks like a good one. Pretty correct.
Sounds like strong money and no bracelet but I'll take a look...
Cheers.
