so said the king in Alice in Wonderland. And TS Eliot wrote
"We shall not cease from exploration,
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time'
For about 18months my focus has bee…

Hi Guys
thought you might be interested
my best pal, ex SAS 17yrs, showed me this, which some of the lads commissioned from Elliot Brown. The Kris knife is their symbol owning to their reforming in the Malayan campaign in 1951. The 51 second marker wa…
Pls help identify movement
Hi guys
not sure who made this – rather nicely finished fully jewelled, with perlage, anglage, Geneva stripes etc – possibly Record?
Seiko best looking dive watch ever?
What do you think is Seiko’s best looking diver? I have a lot, but this is my fave – only problem, too small for me!
Continue readingHere’s my missus’ weekend watch, the 2205-0760, first hi-beat professional lady diver – 1970’s sometimes called Baby Willard, but was actually higher grade professional watch with better movement & better crown system. I wish this was made exactly as is only scaled to 42mm – I think proportions and aesthetic are perfect.
Watchco Seamaster 300
I’d love to hear opinions, see pictures, and know about servicing on the Watchco 300 seamasters. I know they were contentious when launched by the Australian company, an Omega service centre who purchased lots of NOS/new parts from Omega and assembled them into new watches. Some think fake, some franken, some not sure. Though not made in Bienne or retailed by an Omega dealer, they were all completely authentic Omega parts, and I’ve heard Omega actually will service them if sent in. Original…

Hi Guys
saw a lovely classically styled ladies (30mm ish) dive watch today – called ladyscaf, claiming 300m 890ft WR – and wondered about buying for the missus. I wasnt sure so thought I’d come back later. But googling found next to nothing, except the big brother Eberhard Scafograf goes for huge sums???? This lady watch was very modestly priced. Stupidly I only took a pic of the movement (ETA?) below but it is identical to my eye to the Scafograph except for size

All things Planet Ocean 39.5mm
Hi Guys
I am a big Omega fan and used to wearing big Omegas – Ploprof, PO chrono, Seamaster 300diver. However I am rather taken by the 39.5mm PO – I have big wrists but is didn’t seem too small when I tried it and I liked it: compact, stubby, but cool.

I read that it is actually a 40.5mm case and 38mm bezel and Omega decided on speccing it as somewhere in between those two: 39.5
would value your thoughts and any photos and comparisons with others of similar size like Sub etc[ATTACH…
Bund Strap – old skool cool or old fool?
This watch is a tad small for me and i've scratched around for the best strap or bracelet for it. Rummaging around today I found an old Bund pad – that I don't think I've ever worn. But I think its a great match – adding some sense of …
