Yep, servicing costs a pretty penny that's for sure.

Yes, too many dreamers AND too bloody fraudsters. My old man thought he's scored a Seamaster for mom and boasted what a bargain it was. Well I've got that watch in my hands now that both have passed on and this watch is just one of the many that were faked and peddled to unsuspecting tourists.

As he normally was very sharp back in the day, why he didn't pick up that this "vintage seamaster" didn't have a waterproof screwed base boggles the mind.

Wristwatch Revival is one of my fav watch repair channels and Marshall certainly has a very infectious passion.

For something different and as an entry into the Seiko world (one day I might own a Grand Seiko) I recently purchased a couple of Seiko 5's, one for my partner and one for yours truly.

Both are automatic movements with day/date and very stylish in gold tone s/steel. Best thing is that these timepieces don't pinch the hip pocket nerve too hard.
