What watch do you wear?

[Soundood]

Just seen on the supplied cards it's 4 years.

on Omega its 3 years, and 4 years for the co-axial movements, and on purchase of a new one form an AD or from the boutique, you can wangle a free service from them, taking it up to ten years before spending any major cash.

but this is not the point, winders are not needed in my opinion, even a watch within COSC limits will lose/gain time over a month,

so it will still need setting, even if it is in a winder

on a side not, as an Omega fan, have you seen the new Speedmaster MKII? mmmmmm




and my 1969 near pristine example,

I like the silver and red dial but the not the bracelet.
My holy grail watch is the Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon. The engineering which has gone into that watch is amazing.

not a fan of the dark side of the moon, I don't like black watches, but the 9300 movement is indeed a work of art.

I missed this the first time around.

That looks stunning and is still in an amazing condition.

A friend of mine is selling some watches, any idea what these are worth roughly? I'm not offering them for sale here, would just like to get an estimate from the experts here.

Thanks soundood. He was hoping to get £300 each so looks like it should be possible. Do you know of a good place to sell watches?

I like the one with the silver hands but not the dark bracelets. I'd still take the Moonwatch Professional (42mm) over those.

That's the one I'm interested in!!

Can you take a PIC of it on your wrist so I can see size!?!

It's not THAT impressive...all it has is a ceramic case and the 9300 movement found in other speedmasters.

I think a Sinn would just look and feel more special. Or other oil filled watches. Just look at that dial from the angle pic posted above!

I have skinny wrists...

A friend of mine is selling this, but I like it a lot so will hopefully buy it from him at the end of the month. Although the 2014 IWC Galapagos model is really nice.

I was contemplating buying this watch last year. I like it. It's the style I usually gravitate too. Whats the asking price if you dont mind me asking?

I think something like that is just absolutely beautiful.

Personally, an IWC like that > Any Omega.

The DSOTM is the only fully ceramic Speedmaster.
