As for cleaning, other than a scrub with a nail brush and soap in the shower, what is the usual watch cleaning advice here?

So the little man is all about telling the time at the moment. He's 8 and he has a little quartz watch with a velcro nato style strap on, but it's not too comfy and itches him.
Does anyone know of any better natos? OR! Any good makes of watches make watches for littlens?

Little man may benefit from a rubber Nato strap perhaps if velcro ones are too irritating? Plenty around on eBay

A little something OT about Omega Co-Axial calibre....

I'll have a quick scout!
EDIT: Got him this one to try out. See if that is OK, and then I can look at leather or rubber if it doesn't feel right. I think it's more the way it sticks with the velcro at the moment.

Nice videos, but not once did they mention who really invented it. They also say it's not available on any other watch, which is not true. If you have a 6 figure sum to spend on a watch, Roger W Smith's watches also have the escapement.

Nice there are some of the older versions going on eBay but can't seem to see a release date for that one
Also weekend deal on the Seiko Automatic Diver's SKX007J1 SKX007J SKX007 200m (Japan) at Creation £131 inc delivery

I forgot to put anything on this morning and now feel naked. Watch I mean. I managed clothes, just.
That SBB watch is from my town! I'll see if I can find out, or if they're out here first. Happily send one back if they are.

I'm looking for some advice.
How much should I be looking to pay for a new Omega Seamaster 300m? I'm looking at the one with the blue face.
Currently out in American and popped into an Omega shop where they were selling it for $4400 which is roughly £2800-3000!!

Casio Edifice EQS-500C-1A1ER
Solar Powered so no more worrying about batteries and sits nicely on my wrist (something the last few watches I have tried haven't).
Cost £82 so very happy.

I will have to get a pic, but got the new grey fabric nato for youngens watch through and fitted it for him. He's not had it off since. Bless. Now the youngest wants a watch too. He's 5, and should be able to fathom the time, we just need to teach him.

OK, so I just took a massive punt on a watch. Probably bite me in the ass, but as long as the Mrs doesn't find out, I'll be OK.
It was advertised as a Tudor Prince Oysterdate and the lady was given it by her ex, who apparently bought it from London.
Lady seems nice, but doesn't know a heap about it at all.
Offered her a really low ball 100quid, which she countered with 180, as someone else offered that, but I'd offered first.
Now, if it's fake, I've lost about 190quid inc postage, but if it's real, I've got a serious bargain. Annoyingly, it is a UK seller so she has to post to my parents address as she's worried about it going missing and being covered, so I won't even get it until they post it out to me. Then I can properly have a look and see if I have a watch worth about 1k or one worth nothing

^Fingers crossed you get a bargain. There's a second hand/house clearance place near me with a 'genuine Rolex' sub for £190 perhaps I should have a closer look

That is my next watch I'm almost 100% certain! But damn the waiting queue for stock.

That is very nice. I must admit I do like their ocean 44 gmt's as well as the Triton 100 ATM.
