Most use red, some have switched to yellow as it is more visible. Non-standard hose (lengths, couplings or rarely used diameters such as hose on special hose layer appliances) is often coloured differently or hose used to move foam concentrate or concentrate - water mix. Only time I have seen blue is for moving potable water

Very nice

It's a press-on case back which is more likely to have been replaced during service than a screw down case back to maintain integrity of the case

Ah .... but they don't sell £700 watches!

They use either an ETA 2895-2 (27 jewels) or Sellita SW360-1 (31 jewels) base so I can't think of any reason why it would not be good

For your price range I would have recommended Longines, they do some nice ladies watches

Not sure I approve cutting up / melting an antique brass fire helmet, could have used a brass branch! And the other thing I have a problem with is putting a full name on a watch William Wood, Christopher Ward etc although "Wood" is pretty naff as well perhaps "Firebobby" would have been better I like the straps, been thinking about getting a couple from a chap in Ireland who makes similar straps I like the design mind you

@Liza S your best bet is to search every couple of days for "ladies Rotary" (rather than model number) on Ebay - chances are one will come up eventually although persistence and patience will be required Good luck

I do like that My old naked Smiths Empire mine watch
