Most make Soul Source appear light-hearted by comparison, these guys live for dates, originality and price. They even post photo's of the watch they are wearing today. It's worth a look, you may not be as anally retentive as you thought as you discussed the ink colour on the label of a Demo ! Wouldn't have A look if Yur pride & joy is either A quartz or A tag heuer watch ! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Chris L Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 This is and remains one of my favourites. Made in the US of Swiss components, sometime in the 1970s for Ford Motor Company customers, given at racing events, not that valuable they go for about £50 - 60.00. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Spook Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 No discount at all when I bought my wifes Rolex (a few months ago) they offered me interest free for 30 months. Paid with debit card and they offered a free gift one either a Rolex purse , a watch winder and something else . Went for the Watch Winder. When I bought my wife a birthday present last week ( instant 10% off as a valued customer without asking) , I was looking at the Rolex's and the sale assistant advised they are going up shortly due to the £/Euro. So if your in the market for a new Rolex buy it now !! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest MBarrett Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 (edited) I have no real interest in watches but spotted a documentary on BBC4 about Abraham Breguet and his iconic "Marie Antoinette" watch. Seeing that the presenter was 92 year old Nicholas Parsons I thought it might be rubbish . . . . but on the contrary I found it fascinating and spellbinding. If you have an hour to spare you might like to give it a try. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b07xtbhr/the-incredible-story-of-marie-antoinettes-watch-with-nicholas-parsons Edited December 21, 2016 by MBarrett Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Spook Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Batteries (TAG) The last battery in my TAG lasted about 5 years but my wife's seems to die every two . We were sending them direct to Manchester (Official tag repairer) to save a bit on the price but it took about 4 weeks to turn them around ! We have now found our local Tag / Rolex / Omega Jeweller (John Pass) in Newcastle under Lyme did a battery change and pressure test for £25 ! So if you live in the the area and need a new battery for your TAG take it there (I'm not oncommission) 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Billy Jo Jim Bob Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Guys If your into watches my daughter works for a jewellers and they have a large website.....https://www.jurawatches.co.uk/. Theres something on there for most budgets. You can have a butchers on the site and then if you live near one of their stores (mainly around the east midlands) you can ask them to get it in store so you can have a look and then do some negotiation. If you order straight off the site you pay the price on there. They also provide a feebie with your purchase and do HP to spread payments. Now...I'm just off to get my own xmas pressie and decide between a Maurice Lacroix or a Glycine. Decisions...decisions... Andy 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
