Well that's the one I have - yellow one on page 2.

As far as I know the older (pre ceramic) Seamasters have been out of stock with the TD's for some time now. I have a new yellow Seamaster chrono bought from a great member here. It's a little larger than the old versions, 44 or 45mm I'd say. There are two sizes of the new Seamaster chrono, 41 and 45 (if I remember correctly). I think the TD's stock the larger size, not sure about the smaller one. Mine is lovely

No. You may find some backstreet markets, but the quality is likely to be very very poor.

lol I love that. I'd actually buy it just for shits and giggles. Oh, and since found the best sub

Whilst we're about it, can someone tell me who has the best sub?

Matt, have you spoken with a mod - try Mikeonabike. This should be resolved, there is no reason why you should not get what you've paid for.

Thank you very much. I really didn't know it was that old! I suppose I should get is serviced now and take good care of it.

Well, H Samuel started in 1862 in Manchester, England. So all I know is that it's post 1862. I may take it into a few shops to see if they can date it. I do love it but I don't wear it, perhaps I should start?

That Hamilton looks nice. Here's a few more. TBH this is the first time I've opened it up (oh the shame). It looks to be completely genuine and unabused, which I guess is a good thing.

I have one very similar. This was passed to me a couple of years ago from my late uncles estate. It was my great uncles and possibly his fathers or uncles before him. I no nothing about it as it's history has been lost over the generations. It does however still work. I guess I should have it serviced sometime.

That green canvas looks quiet nice. I wear mine either on black leather or the original bracelet, but you've now got me thinking......

Depends on how you 'value' things. With a rep you don't need to tie up the same amount of money that you do with a gen. If a rep costs 10% the price of a gen and gives 90% the pleasure then I'd say it's good value. Also, I'd rather lose 20% of the value of a rep than 5% of the gen when it comes to selling them. Each to their own I say - I own both rep and gens.

He's had a couple of mine for a while, one is ready for collection and the other is awaiting parts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If I remember correctly the 2264 is the quartz version of the Seamaster 2254. I doubt you'll get a quartz 2264 from the TD's. They should stock the 2254 though. I have both a gen and a rep 2254: great watches.

Is it good value for money? Errrrr no! Gens are not good value, when compared to a good rep. However if the pull of a gen is strong then the price is good. However, if it's not in your top 3 then move along swiftly.

I generally ask for around $30.

I've had several packages sent US to UK over the last six months. I've never requested a particular service but left it to the sender. The only thing I've asked is that they declare it low value and a broken watch/watch parts. I've had DHL, UPS and even USPS from memory. The tracking is hit and miss once it leaves the USA but should tell you when it's been delivered. It's usually the Royal Mail postman than brings my broken watches. I've only had to pay customs once - when it was declared about £150 value. Good luck.

The insert can be realigned if you get a bad one. As for the spelling on the caseback, well, you'd have to live with it. At least you won't see it with it being on your wrist!

Don't forget to post pics once it's done. I'm about t go through something similar too.

He will do it via the post so I see no reason why you Dutchies should miss out, but best to contact him direct to confirm.

Yep, he's worked on about four of mine already and he has two with him now and a few more to follow. I'd certainly recommend him to fellow members.

Send a few photographs of what you want to some of the TD's stating that it's titanium etc. They should respond within a couple of days telling you whether it's available or not.

A good service should help a lot. The precision and power reserve are poor and could be improved.

Little different, a mechanical digital watch. This is probably from the 60's or 70's and is priced at £30. I maybe able to get it a bit cheaper, but what do you guys think - rubbish or retro?
