Lets see your Watches

[Angie4m]

That's mine really showing its age now and needs new strap as broke the last one

Ah a good and trust Tag F1, you should consider looking for a bracelet for it. Then you wouldn't have to worry about the rubber breaking. Or you could maybe get a nato for it, that might work.

Have ordered metal bracelet so will fit when it arrives. I use to wear it all the time and love it

Good man. My first 'proper' good watch was a tag F1. It took a good beating, usually when I came off my bike or ended up on the deck playing roller hockey. It's nice when you can get it fixed and wear it again

I never use to take it off. Even when rebuilding a house I owned. Has been hit with hammer. Yes I know wasn't a good aim. Been covered in paint. Dunked in water. And never let me down. It still keeps good time

Here are a few of mine. I don't really have a 'style' although I seem to have acquired more divers than anything else...




















That will probably do for now...

Agree with Angie, and that bezel should be relatively easy to replace. I've popped the bezel off a couple of F1's to clean them and they snap back on. Your F1 with a new bezel and SS bracelet will look like a new watch at a fraction of the cost of a new one
If you're not confident making adjustments to your watch, take it to a watchmaker (not a jeweller or mall kiosk).

I like the idea of the watch aging with me. I wouldn't take away my wrinkles and scars so won't with the watch. Sentimental gift so don't want to change it too much

[Z4M-2006]

I have

Submariner that I wore as a daily for 10 years... It's knacked and needs a full rebuild, outweighs the price of the watch..

Ball engineer hydrocarbon.. Superb watch, bought it when the subby needed replacing.. Best timekeeper I have had..

Iwc fliegerchrono .. My favourite timepiece ever....
Took me years to find one at the right price..

Iwc portofino
Given to me as a present 15 years ago.. Only worn a few times..

I will be inheriting one of these from my Father in law. Had it as a wedding present in the early 70s. Cost c.£30 new at the time

Also, who has the hairiest arms on the forum? The bar has been set pretty high so far.

Angie so far....

Another recent addition, modified vintage seiko diver

Claim to fame! That's my dad's watch strap! the "bond" strap, used in Goldfinger..... turns out they are using it in the new Bond movie too...... but they are using a rip off!! tut tut! .

And my daily watch given to my dad by Valvoline



Would love a Royal Oak but cant justify spending £10k on a watch. Maybe one day

How bad actually is it? Its out of warranty so it doesn't want be going to rolex for a service they'll replace everything with a scratch on and ruin it IMO. Parts are available and cheap enough really and a service at a decent watchmakers will run you around £150. If it's a 3135 they are very reliable movements so I'd say even if the main spring needs replacing it could work out less than £200 you get it running perfect again, if you don't mind some aftermarket parts Clark for example it's going to be even cheaper.
