Post pics of your watches Part II

Finally managed to get the broadband fixed, after getting everything set up with the new modem and then hunting around for a new shed (prices for wooden sheds are gone crazy due to the shortage of wood!) Unfortunately haven't had much time left for watches :(

NO all watches must be placed on books about WW2, or at least books about intrepid explorers.

Yeah heard he was a Fungi to be around.

Night Watch, since we’re playing the book game…

Just digging out copy of Mein Kampf, I'm sure it's here somewhere.

Well at least one thing in that photo is reasonably priced.

Considering it’s only time and date it it eye watering. Approx 1200 for service and case finish. Not serviced. Will only service if I timing goes way out. And would likely go independent.

I bought it second hand, private from a chap I trust. But there could have been 5 owners prior. It may have been stolen. Or subject to insurance fraud. Or who knows. Same as an privately bought watch. As values rise….:risk rises.

I ain’t taking the risk of Patek deciding to keep what is approaching a 50k watch……and if you watch Paul Thorpe……he had a watch stolen…..and returned to Rolex for service a few years later by an unassuming buyer…….and Rolex kept the watch……so they both lost out. That happened this year. Not going to put myself in that potential situation.

Feeling its time to retire the shorts as well...

id have taken it too 😫

Kev is my oldest friend....he had first refusal on that, never has any watch been so well suits to a person.

Just to clarify that by "oldest" he means long-standing. I'm still young and cool.

Have been very busy the last few weeks, (of which some is watch related, will post in more detail soon ;) ,so apologize for not being around much lately.

Took a fantastic walk out to Poolbeg Lighthouse today, lovely weather and great spot for some wrist shots :)

A Patek and wines for under €7, probably not a combination you’d see that often!
