Piers Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 im a bit of a sucker for a nice watch. Got a couple lay around... Got 2 TW Steel's. A TW78, and a TW673 F1 edition. Id like to treat myself to another TW steel but currently have better things to waste my money on.Got a handful of casio's too... black digital original (amazon £7 bargain), original again but in green and the same one in blue, original again but the silver one. i also got a nice G-shock for christmas.Got a couple of fakes too but i never wear them. Have an amazing u-boat copy and a hublot big bang (not such a great copy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver! Posted January 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Not a fan of the Breitling styling. Only watch on their site grabbing my attention is the Superocean Heritage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piers Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 im not a fan of big, in your face watches... ironically i have TW steels... but they are classy. Not too much going on but at the same time look really nice.The problem with the Breitling design/type of watch is that they all look fake. regardless of if its cost you 10k... they look tacky and blingy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 I chose a smaller g-shock because of my little wrists. Some of them are massive. You should definitely buy one though. They are the new cool kids watch (after Seamasters). Mines a G-100, something like 42mm I think. Only cheap, too. Have seen them as low as £35.

Crusoe Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) Balance wheel replacement isn't complicated Ray, do it yourself. Need a watch back opener a small screw driver and either a second hand sold for spares like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SEIKO-SCUBA-DIVERS-WATCH-4205-0153-SPARES-REPAIR-/200874281558?pt=UK_Jewellery_Watches_Pocket_Watches_Accessories_ET&hash=item2ec50a4a56&ssPageName=RSS:B:SHOP:GB:101#ht_2092wt_1035 or order a new balance wheel. If you want it to be waterproof you need to buy a new seals kit too with that version but you should be able to buy all the bits and fit them in 30min for £60 tops.Ebay somewhere like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/m.html?_from=&_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ssn=thewatchcollector&_pgn=2&_skc=50&rt=nc for spare parts, just two screws to take off the bridge and balance wheel once you have the back off.

Crusoe Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) Ray is an idiot, he'll never get it back together again. sure there are instructions online too, movement on that one is fairly simple and almost the same as this one. Just take one off with the bridge and wheel attached and replace it with another one from a second hand watch or new spare part.http://www.clockmaker.com.au/diy_seiko_7s26/chapter9.html Edited January 29, 2013 by Crusoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver! Posted April 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Well here it is. I've had it back for a while now and I'm glad I saved her as she's really nice to wear. Even though smaller in dia. to my SKX007 she feels chunkier as her case is the same depth. So here she is with her big brother in the background...
