    Crownpuller : timex ssq
    Purchased for the princely sum of £3.60 + £2.90 postage + £3.22 (inc. postage) for a couple of batteries - All in for less than a 'tenner'
    The elbow grease & fettling were 'gratis'



    Fuzzy B : Juvenia

    Someday I will try to clean up the dial and movement a bit, but for now the original character will remain. What drew me to this one was the movement. It is a tidy little thing and the gold chatons and snail finishing in the winding mechanism hints at a decent movement. The delightfully quirky bezel also adds a bit of character to a relatively simple dial.

    The only models similar to this I have found is a solid gold ladies' version and a black dialed variation, which sold for 5 times more than mine.




    DJW : LUCH 2209
    Gains 1min 20secs in 24hrs
    Matched with a white nato strap
    cost £7.90 all in, needed new click spring (kindly donated by your friend and mine ISMY)




    Matt : certina
    The beating heart of this hand finished confection is a superlative Cal.25.651 high beat automatic, lovingly enrobed in a thick layer of creamy Swiss brass, topped with pure sapphire crystal, and lightly strapped in IWL colours



    Ro63rto: Seiko 5
    Model SBW031
    7019-5000 aka "Monaco wannabe"
    Full length original bracelet
    Watch was probably used to dig for potatoes it was so dirty.

    It runs, keeps time to within 1min/day BUT while removing movement from waterproof casing I must have dislodged some dirt and it stuck the stem release lever open???
    Stem won't lock in and I now can't set time or use quickset to set day. Definitely needs a service.



    shout out if I got anything wrong with it oh and when you have done a comp pics / info are done I will add them to it

    edit I will remove the entry's that did not make the next level so members have an easy way of seeing what is left
