Thanks By-Tor, I have PM'd him through this site - is this the best thing to do? I don't have his email address and couldn't see it on his profile?
With regard to movements, I don't know anything as i am a newbie, but the watches i buy i intend to keep so i am happy to pay a little extra for a Swiss movement, especially if this also sweeps more correctly and keeps time better?? Keeping time is the main thing for me - after all, isn't that what a watch is for?!?
Finally, as people have said above, there are so many versions available from the big sellers (Andrew, Josh etc) on the web; I still don't know which is the "noob"??? A simple direct link from anyone would be great!
