                  @Giles said in Watches - another OCD problem:

                  My baby is back...

                  Blancpain, London wanted USD300 to ship it to me. My answer was short and sweet.

                  So, @Danny-RnH very kindly picked it up for me. The new Rivet and Hide, London shop is but a few 100 meters from the Blancpain shop.

                  He shipped it to me in what I can only describe as a very non-watch containing parcel. On that note, Rolex used to lose a lot of watches in transit when the packaging proudly advertised what was within - Yeah, go figure MENSA candidates.....

                  Rolex wouldn't service my watch without the OG bracelet. so I said stuff them

                    @louisbosco it’s odd how that’s their policy. I’ve always found that to be over the top.

                    In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

                      @Mizmazzle yeah they're very pedantic about such stuff. I've barely worn my bracelet in 10 years. in the end, took it to a ex Rolex service guy..

                        Blancpain did not mind my cheapo Chinese rubber strap, even refinished the (OG Blancpain buckle) that was on it

                          @Giles seems like blancpain is the way to go

                            I got my Chronosport UDT Sea Quartz back from repair today. I couldn’t be happier. It’s working perfectly. After buying it broken, sending it to Australia, paying for repair and service, and then return shipping to me in Canada it became an expensive project. But I really don’t know any watch that isn’t!

                              @deanclean I have always loved the UDT and have several anadigi watches because of it. It’s just the epitome of everything 80’s watch culture. Love it so much!

                                      Have had this Steelfish for about 14 years now. Still runs and looks great.
