Old timer just returning after a ten year nap

Maybe worth sending a PM to @Legend to see if he can help. -
As you know there are a couple of us as active moderators. We all have lives outside of our hobby too. Admin has been informed and we'll see what happens.

Guys, there have been an incident or two of ‘new’ members appearing and trying to sell via back door DM’s. Some of these are banned members or scammers. If you are contacted in this way please let a moderator know. We are here to help you and keep this place as safe as possible. There is no reason for trading this way at all! Everyone can sell or trade here so let’s keep it out in the open and safe for all.

Good to have you back. There are still many old names here.

I hadn’t thought of that, thank you. I’m happy with it on leather at the moment. I could recase it using another mid-case. I have a later ceramic version which, by all accounts, will fit.

It started out as a Bond era Seamaster. It’s actually a Closed Factory 40th Anniversary Bond Seamaster: 2537.80 (still has the caseback). I had Micky @SSTEEL swap the dial and hands. The dial is a gen 2230.50 that I had lying around. It was relumed in a white super luminova (originally it has a green hue). The handset was also relumed to match the dial, spare sword hands from a 2254.50 with a 45m Planet Ocean second hand cut down. The crystal is a Prof Steve 2xAR and the bezel is an early 42mm Planet Ocean. Running an ETA movement. It’s my favourite watch bar none. Micky assembled it years ago and it’s been flawless ever since. The only issue I have is the lug holes in the case. They are not in the right place and none of my bracelets fit correctly.

Welcome aboard

Very nice collection. I especially like the Datejust. This proves that I have too many watches!

More traffic is what’s needed. The fun will come. To gain some attention I’ll post some photos of bobbies.

Most of them and is is the best one for people and knowledge.

Actually, that’s not completely true. An investigation was carried out and both parties contacted for their version. Sorry you feel that it didn’t go in your favour. When members put lots of time and effort into helping others it doesn’t always lead to a success conclusion. Let’s not air our dirty laundry on this thread eh? -
I’ve had to check the date three times and I’m sure it’s December not April. It must be for the new LGBTQ+ Bond that will appear next.

Yes, Adrian would be a good bet. Let me see if I can find his details. Or Rolie, would be a good bet too. PM me I have his no.
-
Yes it it. He’s now gone. Thank you.

We all have issues. It’s a badge of honour in the Knitting circle. -
As with all these watches, it’s a case of “because I can”.
