I picked this one up the other day amongst a lot of watches and singled it out as it reminds me of the Ingersoll Valiant or Radiolite. What do we think? Is it 1930s? I can't seem to find another similar bar an alarm clock by Ingersoll...must be a rare one! :D

Investment piece chaps? Are there enough Seikoholics who would just HAVE to have one when they sell out?

There's something about this one that keeps me coming back to it...only problem is I'd have to sell a kid to afford it! https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/grand-seiko-sbga405-godzilla-65th-anniversary-introducing

My IWC was getting too much wear...

Slowly returning to watch collecting...starting with a Seiko Sunday!

Hello everyone! Long time no see! I have been away from the forum for ages and thought this wee Rollie I picked up today was a great excuse to join back in. It's a 15 jewel "Standard Quality" Rolex movement in a Stainex case which seems to fit but the crown looks much newer. The NATO is my own. What do you all think? http://imgur.com/Ft5BPEK http://imgur.com/PZkp1rA http://imgur.com/uVb0Z1M

I think so yep, not as bright as my IWC though! I thought it looked high end but then saw the Miyota movement...

Thanks for the replies guys...off to the spa it goes!

Here's the offending watch

Thanks gimli, The companies are not historic, just involved in oil and gas production. I guess in 100 years the watch might be interesting!

So, I've found a heavy 21 jewel Miyota diving watch which has two diving company names on the dial, the name of a ship/expedition and the divers name with serial number (no 137) on the rear. I guess a Miyota 21 jewel is £40-80 but does the "proveance" add alot more? I'm deciding whether to clean it up and service it...

Hi Alan, I'll try tomorrow (tucked up in bed!) but really that is all it says, no hallmarks, just "ALLPLATINUM" stamped into the case back. The watch has 21 tested real diamonds, around 3mm across each

Hello all, I recently picked up a ladies watch which is stamped "ALLPLATINUM" inside the caseback...can I take it that this means the case is solid platinum? It's an early 1900s watch with a tavannes movent.

Hi all, Long time no post for me. I've been in a pretty monogamous relationship with a 2014 model IWC Aquatimer. Problem is, I keep hankering after a vintage Rolex Sub. Having never had expensive watches before, I wanted to ask, if I do decide to go for a sub can I trade my IWC in against it? Is this a good option or should I private sale the IWC instead? Cheers
