      A good local watchmaker can save LOTS of headaches.  The problem is finding one.

      I found one up the road (www.watchworks.co.uk), it is being fixed (hairspring problem).

                              I am. Don't have much knowledge on watches but I've read that Seiko is a good brand and its in my price range.

                                You certainly get a lot of watch for your money with Seiko.

                                  If I were to go for a Rolex, I think I'd want a Sea Dweller, like this one

                                  Although, I have to admit, this special edition Deepsea is pretty choice, too

                                    I did some training with Patek Phillipe in NY, and they were the only company that I have ever come across that required their watchmakers to make their own screwdriver tips out of brass.  It was a pita because brass is so soft, and you are constantly having to reshape the drivers for the screw slots, but there is a reason the movements look so clean
