    Sheesh ya can't really go wrong for that kinda outlay. :) Congrats.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Yes not much risk at that price. One more picture of the inside of the back of the watch, I'm guessing these are service dates scratched in there?

    What is Tropicalised?

    Is this the perfect watch to wear while drinking Malibu (or Lilt for our younger members)

    Exactly. I think that's really cool - the history of the watch carved right into it. My recently acquired Universal Geneve 'Wilhelmina' (WW2 Dutch army watch) has a single service date engraved. The watch was probably made in 1939, and it was serviced once - in 1976 :eek:

    About due for another, when I get the chance. Took it to a place local to me and the chancers wanted 314 euro for a service, and offered to polish the case for 170 euro. Not only a rip-off, but a great way to damage the historical value of the watch.

    Congrats on a beautiful watch.

    The Antea 390 is very elegant.

    Pictures don't do it justice.

    Will be ordering one with a croc strap next year when funds allow :)

    I'd say so, they're offering engraving on the rotor for €49, and will do it on old models for same if they have it for a service.

    My everyday watch. Annoyingly I had the glass replaced not too long ago. These scratches resulted from me falling from my bike. :(
    Can I ask you were you got the glass replaced on your watch and also how much, as I have a lovely watch with chipped scratched glass. Its a seiko watch with a yellow face and I if I seen the same watch again, I would buy it. Thank you
