watch info
Hi allBeen an avid watch buyer for some time. Probably can't be described as a collector since I buy purely what I like and don't really consider value in the long term etc just buy for my pleasure and I'm too tight to sell them. Couldnt face someone offering me a pitance for something that is or was my pride and joy..Currently have quite a nice assortment.Rolex GMT Ceramic half gold, Panerai 251 (just purchased) Omega 50 year speedy, planet ocean chrono, omega constellation, couple of Rado's, 2 TAG's and some other odds and sods.Yes quite a diverse mixture but all worn frequently and sadly abused.Anyway over the last couple of years wife have been getting more interested in what I've picked out for her and surprise surprise recent she pulled out an old ladies Omega from the bottom of her jewellery box.She got this back in 1970 it is so small I couldn't believe it.

Only buy from an AD....She took out an eyeglass and looked at it in a ��id just LOVE to tell you it's fake' kinda way and said that it's against rolex policy to tell if it's real or notBloke said there was no way of verifying without sending off....I said so you're telling me that if I came in here with my sub to se
