Watch question - what to get my dad for birthday

colinuk · 4 Aug 2010 at 22:25

The only watch he ever wore and loved was a Roamer Anfibo which has now got a broken winder.

So, for a gift, id like to get him something like, but newer.

Would any of you good fellows who seems to know so much about watches have any ideas?

how about spending the money on getting it fixed for him if he really liked it

A good idea, especially as you are looking at a couple of hundred quid for this type of watch.

I did try to get a replacment winder for it, an Roamer one for the watch, but not having much luck getting one. I can of course get a winder, but not the one for that watch.

Emailed Roamer and still waiting for a reply. Will continue looking and the replacment idea was my dads, so he is open to the idea, probally another Roamer one.

don't worry about a genuine winder, any decent watchmaker should be able to fit a similar one and service it
