Where's the best place to get a valuation on a omega michael Schumacher 2000 sppedmaster - I purchased it back in 2003 and it's only been warn a few times so it's as new but I would like to ensure that its covered sufficiently on my house insurance.
What watch do you wear?

If it helps there's a used one for sale at a jewellers near me. It's been there a few months in the window, appears to be immaculate and is for sale at £2295 I think? I don't know much more about it than that. Looks nice though.
EDIT: Sorry just realised you want an insurance valuation so what I've posted isn't going to help much.

An absolute stunner of a piece - a gorgeous addition to your collection.
I've been eyeing up a '78 steel Oysterdate with black dial and rose gold hands and hour batons...there's something about the classic Rolex on leather that just works so damn well.
Thanks
I do love the simple elegance of the vintage watches. The condition is stunning considering its 54 years old. The strap is new (genuine Rolex) which makes it feel like a new watch

I wear a Tag Heuer Professional. I bought it just over 10 years ago for £450. Beautiful watch and perfect timekeeper. If you do buy second hand then make sure the full serial number is at the back etched on. If not, don't buy.

Some people don't feel that they are such good value any more. This may be true, for a serial collector or someone who regularly "flips" watches but if it's a one-off purchase then just buy what you like and what represents good value for you.
The quality of CW is very good - if anything better than they were a couple of years ago. I had an opportunity to compare the new Trident and a Steinhart side by side and the Trident is definitely better quality - worth the bit extra imo.
The Trident is still £660 & the Trident GMT is £860 plus there's a £50 off voucher freely available at the moment. For a diver of that quality that's still brilliant value in my view.

Oh hello there. The new ones seem a lot more "chunky" than the older ones. I like.
@ Sagalout what did the Rolex set you back? I really like that. Like you say, it's got great elegance.
Lovely watch there, gratz!

Picked it up this morning, was a choice between the following two:
Really just getting used to the size, for me it's a massive change from my usual daily Datejust/Daydate size. But yet it's easier for me to wear than my Explorer II, similar size case, but the thinner more elegant profile of the Patek case sits very well on my thin wrist, the smaller link sizes on the band & weight of the watch further helps the fit.
Quick comparison with other watches:

A fine choice, and what a choice to have to make between an AP RO and PP!
