I've spoken to a few and the consensus seems to be that they are like hen's teeth. I've been looking for a few months now with no joy.
oh well, I’ll stick with plan A, 2021 Batman, which he seemed pretty optimistic for.
Got a BB Blue - ETA, tbh my favourite on a nato
Tudor Pelagos Black - ETA
BB58, which is more meh and most likely one to ditch

If you can get a Batman I'll eat my hat (get me a Batgirl whilst you're at it?)
I agree, but can't complain if he's optimistic, he got me a 2020 Sub in about 18 months.

I found the BB58 a bit small, the standard BB wears better to my eyes.
If I can't source the ceramic I may look at a Planet Ocean used.

Lovely, looking to be in the market for a dress watch and I absolutely love the idea of a moon phase. Tried this on at Heathrow but couldn’t commit!Thought I would treat myself for Christmas. Just arrived, IWC Portofino Manual Wind Moon Phase, really pleased with it
Looking for a nato like this one here. Anyone know of another supplier who might have one?

My watches seem soooooo much lamer than most of your lots, but i love them, ignore the yellow strap on the Sieko Chrono, it's my designated Rugby watch and the strap are the clubs colours

Chisholm hunter had it on the bracelet today at £860
Hah just checked, looks like all the usual places that had the last stock batch are now sold out.
eBay is looking interesting though, £740 lowest price.
Lume check
Both Seiko and Stowa after about 10 mins settle into their dim night glow. you can see them with dark adjusted eyes a couple hours later which is cool. The Swiss lume is applied much more evenly from hands to dial and just looks more premium compared to Lumibrite, but Lumibrite is very nice too.
Was given my grandfathers pocket watch today.
Seems to have an issue with it though as it is wound but somethings not budging to make the hands go round. I can manually move the balance spring to get some movement but it stops within a few seconds or if i tilt the watch slightly. Having ordered up some tools and I've borrowed my dad's precision screwdriver set I'll have a practice on my ebay pocket watch before delving into this to see if i can identify whats wrong or I'll pop it into a jewellers to get it fixed properly!

No idea what they are like in terms of the sort of money they offer but watchfinder is one of the places that will buy your watches

Get a quote from watchfinder then let me know how much you want for the Subby

Think I'm falling for the Aqua Terra on a rubber strap. Can't face the grey market for the BB Ceramic, would rather go though an AD.
Thanks.
Interesting. The seamaster is I guess quite common. Full size mechanical chronometer. They immediately said they had a few of them and didn't want it via email.
The submariner they immediately offered 8k subject to inspection. It has a small dent in the case and a mark on the oyster, so I guess they would drop the offer on inspection. Memories of regular use. And nothing I know they couldn't buff out pretty easily.
The sub has never been serviced and never skipped a beat.
The seamaster has been serviced a few times as it began to loose time.
Service was completely automated and instant to this point. Obviously...it's Christmas day.

Finally in a position to buy a Speedmaster. I'm crossing my fingers that I like it as much on the wrist!
