Rolex watches are highley overated for the price point,Some of the old bubblebacks from the 40 were great watches.
Just sold my 18K presy,nice watch but a terrble time keeper,At least I got what I...

Thats why you do not send rolex watches to rolex for factory service,are plenty of qualified watchmakers that will do the same job (warrented) for a third of what rolex charges.I just had my Omega...

Thats nutz,sell it on the bay as a parts watch.

Parts can be had, the coils can be repaired,The problem with the batts is they need 1.35 V Mercury batts ( no can get them anymore)
The fix is a simple gear change to run on 1.65 batts.

Go to the NAWCC website.plenty of people that repair accutrons,Problem is finding the proper batts for them,but they can be had.

Best timekeeper money can buy,I used to collect High end Chronometers,all mechanical.
Today a $15 casio from walmart will keep better time than any $5000.00 watch

7750,my watchmaker will not repair them,he can buy a brand new 7750 movement for $250 and just swap it out.
You ever look at a7750? lots of plastic parts:(.

ETA movements?

Old Breitlings,That were acually made By breitling like naviitimers:)

No Clue,all I can say is,I can still see tubes in the dark.

Actually 12.32 yrs,Both of these are 13 yrs old and as bright as ever..
183794

cannot speak for the Model,I would never buy a tag,are just mass produced watches,But if it turns your crank
Than go for it,enjoy.

Has it been compleatly serviced? all new gaskets,pressure tested?
I just had my speedmaster re-done,it ain't cheap.

Was a hotel room break in.we were down stairs having Dinner.
Nothing was insured,your not covered when on the road,only at the shows. I got out of the watch buis after that.
My Pard now has his...

My partner and I were robbed comming back from a watch show in Tacoma wash. to the tune of $350.000.00,stuff happens.

Guess it boils down to who you know.My wrist guy is on the high side of 80,you never call him,he will call you when the watch is ready,I oft times worry that he will check out and I will never see...

If your connected to the NAWCC,Compitant watchmakers are easy to find and any watch can be repaired.
Parts abound,is no problem finding parts for any watch.
The great vintage watchs do not wear...

If you are a long time watch collector,than you understand what I am reffering to.
This is not an argument,you are not being patronized by me,lets just call it entellectual intercourse.

Baloney,do you know the diff between high end Omega 325 crown wheel movements and cheap ETA (Omega) lever movements??
They are night and day.

Is all advertizing,is all B.S,people are paying 3/5 grand for watches,Omega, Breitling,Hublot.the list is endless that cost $400 to make.

What erks me is how the big names no longer even make movements,ETA makes everything and most is crap.
My watchmaker will not repair a High dollor modern Omega Chrono and many other famous brands...

In reality it is a quartz movement,so there is no servicing to be done.Nice refurb on a nice watch tho.

My dailey Knock around.type 1 sandy 490,17J manual wind,gotta love those tritium tubes and markers:)

One of my all time favorites.This watch is a one off prototype made for the Canadian Govt. during the development of the SARS watch.
