Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

But is there a way.....?

I would be very worried about my organs if I was you Exec, I believe some Russians are quite partial to organs at Christmas!

hmmmmmmm yes your right never thought about that.

What you really need is somone with quite a bit experience of dealing online. My brother would be ideal but hes gone off to France today and is a big merchant on E Bay and other sites.

Just want you to be careful.

There is always a way - when there is a will. Just make sure you have made a will.:-)

Exec
How much money is involved and what is the watch.

Exec - I collect vintage watches, mainly Omega. What make are you looking for.

Yes Hays knows the crack. Be very careful though Exec.

"Exec - I collect vintage watches, mainly Omega. What make are you looking for."

Yeah me too.. got a draw full of them somewhere none work of course -):

But seriously E/L, sounds like far to much to go wrong there, so personally I would avoid.

I have a nice Omega that I bought in the 1970s. It runs on a tuning fork, which you can hear with an ear to the case. It keeps perfect time and I still use it every day. It is chronometer rated.

Im with Stan.

If it sounds too good............. be very careful.

Funnily enough I have quite a few Omegas, surely they cant be worth anything.

Just slung them in a drawer when the strap snaped.

Smart that Hays. Very smart.

Here's a bracelet link to it. The consequent increased number of hits will probably make him put the price up though:

Be careful with what you do with Stan.

Nice watch Hays, mine are mostly 1950/60's automatics and mechanical. A 1953 Bulova (mechanical) and a 1960's Zodiac.

Yep cheapos them Chris.

Woolworth watches.

Be careful, there are a lot of Raymond Weil watches out there that are fakes. Raymond Weil brought out that watch as a sort of copy for the Cartier Santos. Raymond Weil watches are very over rated as a watches. They have built up their brand with relentless advertising.

Gf- Thought I was filtered knob head! :0)

Raymond Weil are a department store watch maker. The company only started up in the 1970s. That Parsifal model was their best seller. I got fed up with IT for a while in the early 1980s and went to work in Clerkenwell (the centre of the UK watch business) for a friend for about 6 months. He had a wholesale watch and gold business with a few diamonds now and then. Raymond Weil were desperately trying to improve their image. They became one of the mainstays of shops like W H Samuel. Somehow, they emerged from that period as a premium watch maker. I am am not sure that the reputation is deserved. A lot of their watches were originally made by other companies and branded as theirs.

£2.99 at Woolies that 1960's Zodiac.

Got one myself.
