Off topic watch chat for the horologists out there

[MonkeyChap]

Hello,

Has anyone ever bought anything from Chronext (www.chronext.co.uk) ? They seem to be selling new and good s/h watches at well below the regular UK dealer prices. Maybe they're relying on prices being cheaper in Germany ?

Thought I'd share this

Purchased and only ever owned by a well known BMC works mechanic in Abingdon





It is for sale in case anybody is interested.

Offers of £5000 and up

My latest arrival - a not so easy to find British military issued 1993 Precista just back from service - love it, another keeper!

Really like that Jason.. Don't take this the wrong way, but the bezel reminds me of some of the huge cased seiko divers

This style of bezel has actually been a military spec bezel since the early 60's Ben - here it is on an Omega Seamaster 300

Hello

I've been thinking about buying an automatic watch for some time, and after a bit of research (looking at pictures for the one I thought looked the best rather than fussing about movements) I decided to go for a Unimatic Uno (http://www.unimaticwatches.com/). They're a startup, and this is their first watch. I met Simone (the designer) today when I went to pick it up. He's quite young, and very keen to get into doing watch design full time. I generally got a good vibe from them, and I thought the watch looked great. My photos below are a bit shite, but there's some nice ones on their site.

They're assembled in Italy, but the company is incorporated in London. They've got another design in the pipeline too.

That's a very nice watch Ian !
Reminds me of a classic Squale diver and 40 - 41 mm without crown is a decent but not silly size. The Seiko NH35A
movement is well regarded and accurate. The price point is competitive and I like that they haven't taken pretentious pictures of it with an
aeroplane or classic car in order to quadruple the price like some relatively ' new ' companies insist on doing.
A proper simple,stylish and elegant modern every day / divers watch.
Well done and enjoy !

Cheers! Had to google Squale - I see what you mean. I think there are quite a few influences in the design. Good effort for a first product though.

Anybody interested in the grail of Heuer Dashtimers?

I'm selling part of a collection on behalf of a friend.

If you see anything you like the look of please just ask - Many with boxes and all good prices

Seriously considering pre-ordering, slightly confusion if it is a limited edition or not....case back is marked as limited but other websites say numbered but not limited.....anyone have any ideas?
