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.

It’s been a few weeks since I was mulling over a new watch choice.Simon Rudge wrote: ↑Sat Mar 05, 2022 7:12 pmHi Bob,swift911 wrote:Moving on from the Panerai size shock.
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.
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.
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.

Re: Off topic watch chat for the horologists out there
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

Great value these at only £2,450 for a stunning rare 1989 Royal Navy issued Precista with gorgeous patina
Or if 2012 has relevance to you that’s it’s issue number!
