To start with

No worries it was my ineptness

Either wurst but I wore it on my left. The crown is less likely to dig into your hand if worn low down - if that makes sense?
Not sure the real reason - I believe this version isn’t being manufactured anymore

Hi Rich I hit enter before typing anything.....

Reluctantly I need to sell my favourite watches to fund finishing off my house extension...

Tudor Pelagos LHD M25610TNL-0001
2021 model in very good condition with the only significant marks on the clasp but I'm sure these could be removed easily. Full set including unused rubber bracelet. I purchased from eBay using the authenticity guarantee. £2750 including RM Special Delivery or possibly I can deliver to Euston station

Seiko Grand Seiko sbgx061 imported from Japan, full set including the current Two Stich Vintage leather strap its currently on. This is probably my favourite watch I've owned after my 16710 GMT2
Whilst its a quartz watch you really need to read up about them if you haven't already.

I would like £900 including RM Special delivery

Citizen PMD56-2951 again imported from Japan
Lovely watch made from titanium with a grey/green dial depending upon the lighting.
Full set and in excellent condition - I can't see a mark on it
£300

I'll add some photos from my when I've found them and I'm happy to take further if required.

Anyone interested in any of these? I’ll advertise in classifieds soon

Bedroom floor had this around the edges which cost me a fortune in sandpaper belts at the time. I would use paint stripper/ heat gun and remove as much as possible before sanding if I was to do it again

Thanks. Not mine maybe @Soul

just built a standing desk for completed new office. My jointer is having issues so had joints I wasn't happy with so tried to rout a 'V' joint which went wrong!
I ended up cutting out a slot and gluing some ebony in.
Its not perfect but I'm happy

thanks, its nice to hear. The kids are impressed but nice to hear it from grown ups!

yes, however I remember being 40, single and had paid my mortgage off.....52 now single, two mortgages and four kids!

thanks, its been bloody hard work but very rewarding. lots of ups and downs

Momentous arrival at the weekend. Pretty much a year since I dug out the strip foundations we have a sofa (used)

Thanks. Its 12.5mm boards and the type of fixings used are the toggle type which you drill a hole through the osb and they then spread out the load to the rear of the sheet. I've been up several times to test it.

cheers

thank you, its been a challenging 12 months since I started

thanks. Those wago's can hurt when they snap shut. Everyone needs a tool belt and laser....

I’ve been a bit slack updating this but I’ve been progressing this on my own apart from getting someone in to skim the walls.
I’ve done everything else - first fix/second fix joinery, plasterboarding, second fix electrics, levelling screed and now putting the floor down.
All whilst working full time and separated with four children 4, 6, 8 and 10
I’m making excuses for why it’s not as impressive as all the other builds on here.
I just wanted it finished now….

The closest I’ll come to owning another gmt2 (had to sell my 16710)

I'm currently trying to sell my LHD Pelagos on Chrono24. I've had an enquiry from someone in Switzerland who has asked for postage costs.
I would normally use Royal Mail Special Delivery but this appears to be UK only. Quick google and it looks like £136-£200 with £3000 insurance.
Anyone have any better options before I reply

I’m marshalling at the national champs today - the course is brutal. It’s hard just watching

Thanks. I’m amazed that these only have 115bhp - not really hot hatches. I’ve said put it as a classified ad on eBay for £5995

Anybody got an idea what this might be worth?

Y reg, 2001, Golf 2.0 GTi, 39,000 miles. MOT until July.
Always kept in his garage and in much better nick than mine. In fact, it almost looks new?
one owner and fsh at vw

I had similar done on my extension plus one new radiator in the existing so a total of 6. The plumbers did the first fix and it took a day which included one going to the plumbers merchant which too 1-2 hours and then 2 hours sitting in the van to drag it out to a day.....
I did the second fix which took half a day.

I would say 2-3 days at the most

I'll take the chainring please. I'll DM

I'm looking to sell my Viano, imported from Singapore and arrived 6 months ago, same spec as UK one apart from 3.5v6 petrol engine which I don't think they sold here?
Really clean underneath since it's not seen any UK winter/Salt on the roads. ULEZ compatible and £285 road tax due to being an import.
Let me know if anybody is interested, I'm hoping to get £12k but it's a hard one to price
