Truly remarkable when you break it down like that.
Great video

Looks cheap and tatty but somehow cool

I know, reminds me of my QP strangely enough! Weird that!

And for £12 it's almost worth it but you just know it is going to be tat

That is comical, worth putting them inside some Christmas crackers.

Good call & if you're lucky it may still be working by Boxing Day

Mechanical watches for me are engineering works of art. They look better on the inside than outside.
Also, looking at this video tells you why a service on these watches is expensive

 

[CatmanV2]

Well this felt like a bargain as well
50% of the watchfinder price....

Indeed - I can't decide what I would like for my 50th, There is a Bell & Ross (I should have bought in Gibraltar) Or an Omega and a couple of others, may have to move a couple on though....

I think my box may be full.......

I'd like a Cartier to match Mrs C's if I'm honest. They were still too much, as, in fact, was the Tag, but it was too good a deal.

I do like Cartier, (My wedding ring is based on one, but with nicer diamonds) but strangely Im not keen on the watches...

I swap between a Moto 360 and a Speedmaster moon, a Daytona has always been on my wish list, but after watching a video comparing an omega to a Patik Phillipe, I'm now totally smitten - the mechanism to stop the second hand creeping before moving to the next minute is as complex as the while movement in my watch! Total madness! Each tiny gear is finished by hand with asymmetric teeth - bonkers!

Sadly the Rolex is probably out of reach and the Patek Phillipe most certainly Is!

 

[D Walker]

I'm not keen on Cartier, or Patik Phillipe, have seen a Panarai but maybe too chunky for my skinny wrists...

Watches are also a passion and hobby with me, I just love repairing mechanical movements. I have too many including some well known luxury brands. My personal favourite is an old Seiko I purchased new back in 1985.

I’ve got a Panerai, you’re right about being too skinny

Also got a Seamaster chrono, a Mont Blanc Skywalker, a Tudor Heritage Chrono, a Maurice Lacroix Reveille and various cheapos that i have no idea why I keep buying!

I also see them as engineering marvels and that is what attracts me every time.
