Has the watch accuracy checker app disappeared off the Google app store? It’s the orange and white one where you time your watch to a full minute and it works out the daily deviation. Useful for real world accuracy. New phone me didn’t automatically download it and I can’t exactly remember the app name.

Got something new to show later when I get some photos too.

Value is in…….£1000

I think i will try ebay and put it at £1500 reserve.

Better to start an auction at £1500 than put a reserve.  You pay an extra fee to list with a reserve.  Check the potential fees on something like https://www.ebayfeescalculator.com/uk-ebay-calculator/ to make sure you’re happy with the potential costs before you list.

Thanks Blazin

Check the potential fees on something like…

Wait for one of the regular discount offers. They don’t make it very easy to spot when they are live, so download the app and check messages regularly. Mainly run over weekends so look on Friday.

Can’t make my mind up about that new CW? First glance was positive but then I think it looks like it was designed by a five year old…

Funny you should say that Bullet.  When I watch video the second time and focused on the depth of the dial and indices it reminded me of one of those plastic balls I used to push shapes through holes when I was a kid.

still looking for a vintage dress watch, saw some things while in london today anyone got any thoughts?

18kt gold, manual, 34mm, £1200

9kt gold, automatic, 32mm, £1100

plated, 34mm, automatic (bumper), £950

plated, 34mm, manual, £490

The zenith for me,  I like that.

£1000 Hobo, they just don’t want it.   As you say,  Ebay. I bet it goes for over £2k

which one!?

Wait for one of the regular discount offers

not everyone gets them, but well worth using if you can.  I just sold a watch at £1300 and got charged around £35 in fees.  Quite reasonable, would have been nearer £180 without the discount coupon.

which one!?

for me, 3rd photo with the numerals.

I managed to find the answer about watch check app on Google. Not compatible with Android 15. 🙁

Doesn’t seem to be a simple alternative either.

That CW popped up on my Flipboard feed earlier today, and I must say I really like it. I’ve seen a few watches using ceramic lume with crisp, sharp edges, I think Omega use it on a couple of their dive watches, but CW have really upped the ante with this one. Not too sure about the blue, but I do like watches with orange faces, and that colour does make the blocks of lume a bit less obvious.
Titanium case and bracelet, so not too heavy. I like lots of lume, and there’s a little voice whispering “go on, you know you want to…”

I wish they’d ged rid of that ridiculous trident seconds hand though! Otherwise a descent effort – thumbs up ?

a descent effort

Freudian slip?

A quick random ‘What watch?’ request…

What is a light, affordable, mechanical watch I could look at for riding with in all weathers? My Stowa Verus is on the cusp of being too heavy on a NATO (admittedly on a gravel bike). As is my Archimedes Pilot on a bund.

i have a very old Seiko 5 that does fine, but it’s old and was my grandad’s, so I don’t want to break it. I also have a MWC titanium quartz, which is great, but quartz.

Suggestions welcome. Must be very legible (on the bike and off (as I wear bottle bottom glasses), cheap enough to ride in, mechanical (manual is fine) and relatively fun ?

Otherwise it’s another Swatch…

A bargain Seiko Alpinist with Duratec coating, sapphire, 200m and a compass just in case?

Timex Expedition fits the bill. This 38mm or 41 in titanium.

Expedition Field Mechanical 38mm Eco-Friendly Leather Strap Watch

Baltany military watch?

Or Citizen Super Titanium Automatic?

I agree with ElShal. Baltany. A great range of designs with Q, auto and manual movements. I have two, both under £180 with sapphire.

Could anyone recommend a Watch repair service, I have a Tag Monaco, just washing my hands and the glass fell out!. I’m in Hampshire if there is a good one in that area?

Could anyone recommend a Watch repair service

Calibre watch services I. Edinburgh, they have insured collect & return service too.

Fudd’s watch repair service. You can find his work on previous pages.

I can recommend Calibre in Edinburgh, got my auld mans Omega Chronostop circa 67-68 vintage, repaired there last month. Went out of there way to get a replacement second hand.

Can vouch for Calibre as well, had my Tag serviced there last year

Thanks all for the recommendations

Teased this a couple of days ago. A refurbished King Seiko 4402-8000. Completes the one make, mid price, small wrist collection. Well pleased with this group.

Thanks for the top tips, guys. The Baltany military watches look great. Liking this one in particular…

I’m in Croatia, the holiday watch strap has been deployed! 🙂

What a beauty. Reminds me of the Doxa 600

Two lovely Seikos from Thhew and Beanum.

Goddamit Beau m, I’m midst decision as to whether to sell my orange 5 and there you go making it look good and relevant again…

I was on the Timefactors website yesterday and actually managed to buy something.

I still haven’t got over the shock.

@johnners a friend of mine has the yellow dial Caribbean, it’s a very nice thing.

Didn’t you also ask this 2 years/ 75 pages ago Chipps? 😉

Glad the STW hivemind could be helpful though!

It’s a fun option if you’re in the market for a 1000m diver, I was just after a Jubilee for my Commando.

After years of smart watches only past few months got back to rediscovering and wearing some of my older watches and buying some new (to me).

Not expensive or high end, but this beauty arrived today and quite taken by it’s looks and condition. Dates from early 70s I believe much like myself.

forged carbon PRX.  Kinda like that and I’ve never really been fussed by the PRX
