What time is it? Watches and horology

These lads make some horrible watches, but I quite like this one you shared.

Lovely! Will you get it serviced?

I'll shark myself out as a pendent, but can we have the answer to this :) -before it's lost

If I keep it, then servicing is definitely on the cards. It’s a very pretty mid-size cushion case. Just torn with keeping it or trading/selling to someone who may appreciate it more.

there's cracking stuff

Trying to give the AGS SUS a boost to see if the capacitor is shot….Might take on the job myself if it is.

Nice…..

Lovely, simple and clean.

Popping this modified AliExpress ‘Mercury’ for sale as well. This is the one I bought two years ago, in a brand new case and new strap. New Renata 920SW in it as well.

I am looking for an Omega Seamaster 200 'Pre bond' ref 396.1041

Added complication is that I'd like it to be a 1989 ideally as its a present for my brother.

Any links or leads would be appreciated. I have done a fair bit of googling but not found any great examples.

Just to add, if I can't find the above, I am open to suggestions for other 'birth year' watches. As I mentioned the gift is for my brother, not a watch fan particularly. I would just like to commemorate a milestone for him and it seems fitting. It won't be a daily wearer for him.

Have you looked at Somlo, in Burlington Arcade?

I have had a look online yes. Nothing suitable it seems

Ejay2.0 is probably a good place to start

One of the best GS for sure.

Does anyone here own any kind of Frederique Constant?

I like the look of the Healey Chronograph and I wonder what I should look out for if buying second hand.

Yeah, works surprisingly well. Even if it did show that the battery is okay but there is a bigger problem that is causing it to drain on high power mode i think.

So off to be repaired it goes. In the meantime I'm hoping this 81 Silverwave just needs a new battery, cleaned up a treat from a very dirty but cheap ebay pick up.
