      @Bill-C So then the issue becomes how much do you enjoy the watch and want to keep it?

      The used prices on eBay will help you make a decision if the £200 is worth putting into the watch and fixing it. If you don’t like the watch and the price of a used watch is close to that amount, the decision is easy.

      You’ll take a pretty big hit if you want to sell the watch (unfixed) on any market and if you misrepresent it in a sale a big hit to your reputation.

        Hi @goosehd - I hardly wear it nowadays, so I’m erring on the side of eBaying it with full disclosure about the need for repair/full service - appreciate your advice 🙂

                      It’s got to feel so good to floor this humble seeming gent with that information.

                          @68degreesorless only two at the moment (plus a few King Quartz from the 70s when the King Seiko name was not used).

                          A vintage 449990 from the early 60s and the SJE083 (re-issue from 2020).

                            That one is so nice.

                            This one is related, but not the same type of emotions involved...

                                    The black/black seamaster is a favourite of mine, very well executed. One of these watches that is difficult to photograph and looks better in person. 👍

                                    There is no 'I' in team …............ however there are five in 'individual brilliance'.

                                            @Anesthetist I know, but there are a lot of twilight scenarios (no, not the greasy vampire ones) where the lume does not kick in enough to make a black / black or black / grey watch readable.

                                            My Seiko Shikamaru is a nightmare, even though I expect Omega to use a better lume on a 10 to 15x as expensive watch.

                                            On the toppic of the Seamaster PO, that thing realy is a beauty. It wasn't the most reasonable decision to buy that beast, but I will certainly not regret it. 🙂
