I bought this on the 17th December after I kept looking at it through the shop window on about 5 different occasions.

This is a lovely watch, though, recently I've gone off Tag Heuer recently!

Very nice watch Mekrel, I love the Jack Heuer 80th birthday edition also.

Thanks, my poor Oris WilliamsF1 Team Skeleton hasn't been on my wrist since.

I really like that, it's a similar style to the following Carrera (I think this model is celebrating 50 years of Carrera), although the site doesn't mention so.

Can anyone point me to the cheapest retailer who sell the Tissot PRC 200 please? I quite like the look of he black face/leather strap version. There seems to be loads of the bay but I'd rather get it from a reliable store.

£1K, easy choice for me. Nice second hand Omega Seamaster Bond 2531.80. Tough, reliable and unlikely to depreciate much, if at all.

Where did you get this for £1k?

From the picture it looks like its a quartz model. The second hand looks as if its doing a quick move from one to the next and I thought all OMEGA Automatics had 'Automatic' underneath?!

no

Used you can get the auto for around the 1k mark, quartz go for 600+

(May be I am a touch out as not been looking at the watch forums for a while, it's all about wooden gear clocks yo)

You're right, i did a quick google late last night and forgot to come back and rectify my mistake!

Though, with the photo it does look like a quartz

probably not though!

Fancy a change!

That photo is taken at a slow shutter speed. The hand is sweeping rather than ticking, which is borne out by the fact that the arc it has created is smooth. If there was a definite tick, you would see the tip of the second hand a number of times as it stops momentarily.

A watch with a definite 'tick' i.e where the second hand stops momentarily each second, when taken at a slow shutter speed, looks like this

I cannot remember who bought my Tissot PRC200, it was someone from here though IIRC. Sell it back to me? I miss it!

How long will it keep going without a charge?

GSXRMovistar · 7 Jan 2014 at 13:38

Currently have my eye on a couple of Orient Star pieces however ended up snagging the below this morning, another Orient and not something I'd normally go for but something different for a change and price was such a bargain, plus it gets plenty of good write ups (Worn and Wound review).

I really like domed glass, has that vintage feel to it. How much if you don't mind me asking?

£54 so if I'm not happy with it I can easily move it on.

Ideally I want to get either an Orient Star EL05003W or WZ0211EL but finding stock at the right price is proving to be tricky.

mrk · 7 Jan 2014 at 14:19

I love both of those, WZ0211EL with the blue hands looks classy but there's something more industrial about the EL05003W.

I charge it every night, only takes 20 min at most. Do I don't know how long without a charge.

That's quite a nice looking watch. They do some nice stuff, the only thing that puts me off is the logo - looks like a naff 1970's aftershave logo.
