Well here's what looks to be a new old stock one, in black. Electronic movement(not quartz) for 240 quid. They usually go for near double that and I'm surprised it's not sold yet(the modern homages cost 200). So there you go.
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.

I don't get on with automatics. There, I've said it. :mad::D Can always feel the weight flapping around on my sensitive snowflake wrist. Never kept one for very long. Handwinders all the way. Don't like Mercedes hands either. Though oddly love cathedral hands.
Yup.
Nope.
And don't get me started on sites like Hodinkee(WatchUSeek not so far off). With "experts", IE dealers amping up "values" on vintage stuff sold by other dealers and price gouging the newbies and buggering the market. Read a few Bring a Loupe articles and they regularly take the piss with prices. Their online shop takes the biscuit with it. And newbies and American aspirational types buy into it.

Sometimes I do BB, but that would the ones with a sentimental attachment for me rather than "value". But more about bashing one into something.
I don't have any obvious "valuable" watches though. Maybe my Heuer BUND, the Heuer part might get attention if someone got up close and personal. Though once I was wearing it and a woman who I was chatting to noticed it(a very rare thing) and asked me about it and when she got a closer look asked me was it a cheaper watch because it wasn't a "TAG Whooer".
TBH if I were sporting a Rolex I'd be more concerned. A little anyway.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.

Does anybody ever have security in mind when out? I'm heading to London and debating whether or not to wear the Speedmaster Pro.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a worrywort and I'm as likely to be mugged for it here as much as there.
Just curious if the thought ever enters anyone else's mind.
You'll be fine! no-one will want to mug you for an Omega

Seriously considering a semi decent birth-year watch for my forthcoming "landmark" birthday.
Then I had a brainwave, buy a birth year watch for the kid and put it away until his 21st!
Nothing at all catching my for either '79 or 2004 though.
TBH, I don't even know that I actually want another watch. More that my Mrs is asking constantly and I want peace 0 -

Looks like you have the misfortune of having to go for an early ish digital watch:(
Happy 40th!
Looks like you were a year too early for a swatch, https://www.swatch.com/en_us/explore/swatch-chronology/1979/If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

Knowledgeable people, talk to me about replacement glass and where to get it.
I was handed a watch yesterday. An Armani AR-1974 chronograph. Like this stolen picture.
The glass is buggered so needs replacing. Seems like it should be a simple job to replace, I just need to source the glass.0 -
