and the best one of the three of these I got

In your main pic, what’s the one in the top right? That’s pretty cool. I like that!

I’m still quite taken with my old Casio so it’s been on my wrist all week (I’ve been on the other side of the country at a training course with my company).


I think I’m developing a thing for old Casio digi’s!

In other news I’ve been keeping an eye on eBay to see what’s doing what in the world of used watches.
I must admit it’s still surprising me the increase in prices of what we once considered affordable…it’s strange because that would suggest that the amount of people collecting is high and demand strong, yet traffic in the groups seems to be quite slow.

In yet other news, my mate (who is partly responsible for getting me back into watches) is somewhat of a demon at finding bargains in second hand shops, just last weekend scoring himself this rather nice Gianni Sabatini…a brand I’m not familiar with but it is a very solid and weighty piece…his for the sum of £8!
So there are bargains out there…it’s just finding them

ok then mate had a little sort out so these two are yours if you want them ..free..

not great pics the flash was on. they are used but look better in the flesh a little.

and these was going to give to a local charity shop so your mate can have them if he wants no charge .



the straps are a bit worn the leather cracked on the bend but works fine and the case have some rubbing but they work fine .


just send me a p.m with your address (probably got it somewhere but not to hand ) and will post it snail mail in the next couple of days .

got this on for the mo it's a strange one think the stem was damaged at some point as it's hacking but some times when the crown pushed in it won't start again then . it will when it wants I tried resetting the stem but still does it but when set it works fine sooo .. mean it's mid 80's so after forty odd years you can forgive a bit of a quirk can't ya .
