Been browsing the Fossil store upstairs (the brand, not dinosaur remnants) and they have some really nice watch boxes in real leather and suede/nappa interior.

£99 for the largest one which holds 10 pieces.

They also have a range of Nato straps now ranging from £5 to £12.

Not too bad.

Hi Rob,

It is tucked away in the safe. Still working on watches that arrived in in November and December so we are getting there :)

Have a great week!

Due to work load and minimum hours available to work on watches, estimated completion dates can be inaccurate.

Thanks,

Jay

Muchos wait!

Wish i was in a Ramen Shop Counter
Parnis has arrived :) Is the huge bit inside at the back (excuse the technical terminology) meant to move quite freely and make such a scratching sound?

That's the pendulum and its what charges the watch (spring).

And yes, it does make a sound, not scratching as such, just gears i guess. All my watches with that makes a sound, some louder than others. The quietest is the Steinhart and as it happens, costs the most.

Pendulum?? :p

It's basically Pacman inside your watch. Whacka Whacka Whacka!

Sucks. You'll be without it for a while if he is still working on watches that were sent in Nov\Dec!
Yeah, the time will likely fly by I suppose :D

After waiting a couple of months for this to come back in stock, I finally have one! My first Chinese piece.

Sapphire crystal!

Haven't got the heart to pull the protective plastic off yet.

I really really like this. Simple and understated. It will be get a lot of wrist time. My need for a white dial and blue hands have been nicely satisfied with this one.

It's funny, some think it looks like a Nimos, I think they are full of ****!

It looks nothing like one!
