The Watch

This incredible watch was purchased from a gentleman who's father had originally owned the watch and purchased it new, the gentleman's father wore it occasionally on special occasions and stored it away the rest of the time. The condition of this watch speaks for itself and only backs that the father wore it very rarely, especially for a gold plated watch that is 40 years old!

If you are in the market for a gold tone watch with a story, great condition and truly vintage then this is the perfect watch for you! The condition speaks for itself, the design speaks for itself and its from a brand that requires no introduction. 

Points of Mention

This watch comes with it's original red Omega signed box which is period correct. The watch also comes on its original bracelet with folding clasp and spare links. There is no service history on this watch, the gold plating is in very good condition with a few signs of age and the crystal has a few scratches.

Personal Note

The Seamaster range is only growing in popularity and desire and this example is one of my favourites due to that integrated bracelet design that flows perfectly into the non-traditionally shaped wrist, it is very 70s/80s and it is the design I love the most! Someone needs to buy this before I buy it for myself!

The Watch

This watch was purchased from a gentleman who's father original owned and purchased the watch from new, he had a few other watches and this one was stored away for special occasions and worn rarely. The condition of this watch certainly speaks to that story and it is in incredible condition, even down the leather strap which has little wear for a 40 year old piece of leather! The buckle even has no plate fading, it does not get much better than this! Plus that cabochon crown is to die for, something about a crown of that age just adds to this watch and makes it look so much more expensive than the asking price!

Points of Mention

This watch comes with it's original red Omega signed box which is period correct. The watch also comes on its original Omega signed black strap with matching gold plated omega signed buckle. The watch also features it's original cabochon crown in perfect condition, the gold plating is showing very little signs of wear with a few scratches to the crystal. 

Personal Note

If you are in the market for a gold plated dress watch with real class from a brand with huge respect then look no further, the great thing about this watch is it also has a nice story that it was originally only owned by one Gentleman and from that Gentleman to the son, then to KibbleWatches! 

The Watch

Whilst being from a brand that no longer exists and not much information can be found on them, I can safely say that they were not afraid to try the unusual and risky designs! This watch certainly will not be for everyone, but for those like myself who love rectangle watches this is undeniable in it's beauty! The hour glass shape of the case matched with the cabochon crown, the cross hair dial with the bold 12 and 6 in roman numerals, the simplicity of the 2 hands, matched on its original leather strap and buckle! I suspect there will be many people that love this watch as much as me!

Points of Mention

This watch was sold to me as NOS and is in pretty much the same condition as that apart from I have worn it twice, therefore a small crease to the bracelet. The case is in perfect condition as is the rest of the watch, the crystal is free of marks and the crown is original and in perfect condition too. The watch was serviced in 2018, however it is not the most accurate watch ever.

Personal Note

I absolutely love this watch and if it doesn't sell, I'll be honest, I won't be too upset! The hour glass shape case is just perfect on the wrist, the watch is over sized, it is hour and minutes only, cabochon crown, cross hair dial... I really could go on! It is PERFECT for me!

The Watch

36mm, fluted bezel, gold plated case, deep black markers and hands, day/date feature... All for under £100! Oh and vintage, manually wound and "Made in the USSR", it's a damn cool watch for the money! This watch features a movement by a brand called Raketa, the whole watch was actually made by Raketa for Sekonda, it was then recased by Sekonda with a slightly beefier case and then retailed by Sekonda with their signed dials. Raketa versions of the same watch can be found, the case is the most noticeable difference with the Sekonda being slightly better.

Points of Mention

The watch comes with no box or paperwork. The watch is gold plated and vintage, signs of wear can be seen and some fading to the gold plating can be seen, the crown is worn. The crystal is new and therefore free of marks, as is the strap. The watch comes with no service history, though the watch is currently working.

Personal Note

One of my very first vintage watches was a Sekonda exactly the same as this in Steel and I still own it to this day, the design is reminiscent of the Datejust whilst still being different enough, the size is also great for a watch of it's age, manually wound is also a nice touch... And not to forget "Made in the USSR"!

The Watch

Enicar is one of those interesting brands with a lot of great history, this lovely 33mm Ocean Pearl is great for the aficionado of vintage watches and especially vintage Enicar. 

Points of Mention

The watch comes with no box or papers, it also has no service history though it is currently working. I believe the dial is a redial and has replacement hands in the original styling. Please see photos and judge for yourself too.

Personal Note

What a lovely vintage watch for a great price from an equally respected brand that is exploding on the vintage market as we speak, it is one of the brands I suspect we will wish we paid more attention to in the early days!

The Watch

The Glashütte Original PanoReserve really provides the owner with so much more watch than the price tag would have you believe, sure it isn't a small chunk of change, but it certainly isn't astronomically high that you would question why you ever pulled the trigger. Once this watch goes on wrist not only do the proportions make it one of the most comfortable watches you can wear, it also sits perfectly in-between a small classic watch and a larger modern watch, lending itself to looking brilliant in all scenarios!

Where this watch stands out is the fact that it truly is a "Watch Persons" watch... Meaning only if you are into watches would you probably know about this brand and especially this model. Yet to those who haven't got a clue it still certainly looks like a watch that demands respect for all the right reasons!

Points of Mention

This watch is sold with its box and paperwork, however it does not have it's original guarantee card, the online purchase receipt can be provided on request once purchased. The watch is in used condition, however it is in very good condition with few signs of wear. The watch is in full working order. 

Personal Note

The dial on this watch is one of pure beauty, the way it looks in all lights and adapts with the light is just spectacular. The positioning of the dials and the overall feel of this watch is very German, it the best of ways! The finishing on the movement is brilliant and comparable with the highest of finishes you would expect out of Switzerland, even giving the big German brand a run for its money! Currently at it's price it is an absolute bargain and will serve the new owner well for a lifetime!

The Watch

This watch has the iconic Luminor case with that unmistakable, and truly Panerai, crown guard. It has an exhibition case back flaunting it's beautifully finished 3 day manually wound P.1000 calibre, the most eye catching sunburst blue dial I have seen paired on a subtly off grey Titanium case which is finished to an excellent standard. All this in 42mm allowing it to easily wearable for even those of us with a smaller wrist, like myself! Whilst controversial for the pure Panerai fans as it is only 30m water resitant, this lends itself perfectly to a new buyer who wants that iconic look with a little bit more and isn't someone who will go diving with their multiple thousand pound watch anyway... I know I wouldn't!

I suspect this will not stick around for long, neither should it! It will serve it's new owner well and I do not doubt they will enjoy it for a lifetime.

Points of Mention

This watch is sold as a full set with it's box, paperwork, protective watch sell, even down to the original cardboard outer box! It also comes with an extra Panerai strap. The watch is being sold in used condition, however it is in very good condition with little signs of wear beyond the creases in the blue strap. The watch is in full working order and working well.

Personal Note

This is one of those Panerai's that has the Paneraisti's mad whenever you mention it! Sure... It's titanium, has an in house manually wound 3 day movement, stunning blue dial and ONLY 30m water resistant... But I don't think this watch was aimed at the hardcore Panerai divers anyway, the overall looks, finishing and style really lend this to a new market for them. And I absolutely love it!

The Watch

Of the offerings that Glashütte Original provide for the Senator Excellence range I would have to say this black one is the most casual and understated of them all. This is perfect for the person wanting all the beauty and quality that a Glashütte Original provides, but wants to able to wear it down comfortably. That being said this watch still screams its own merits when viewing on the wrist, you can tell it might be understated but it is by no means a lesser watch. Plus the black dial lends itself well to strap pairings, whilst the easy options of a black strap is currently on I can see how this would look great on a wide range of choices!

If you are in the market for a serious dress watch with the ability to still be worn casually, but are wanting to sway away from the typical Swiss offerings, I think this is the absolute perfect choice!

Points of Mention

This watch is sold as a complete set with it's box and paperwork. It is in used condition however it is not showing many signs of wear beyond the light creasing in the strap and a few hairline scratches. The watch is in full working order and is working well!

Personal Note

Whilst this is one of the more understated offerings from Glashütte Original, it is certainly no underdog to their more extravagant offerings. You still get the same level of impeccable finishing the the case, never mind turning the watch over to see that beautifully finished and well executed movement, this is a watch you would happily wear the wrong way round!

The Watch

Does it get anymore Panerai than this? The PAM210 features the classic Radiomir case, wire lugs, screw down onion crown, sandwich dial with excellent lume, exhibition case back with a simple, yet great, movement. Wide 24mm lugs allowing for the iconic large straps and easy changeability you'd come to expect from any Panerai. This reference was discontinued in 2012 having been first brought to the market in 2005. So you will not being seeing anymore of these come out of retail. It really is an attractive watch and one that true Panerai fans certainly appreciate and rate highly.

Points of Mention

This watch is sold as a complete set with it's box, paperwork and a spare Panerai strap. The watch is in worn condition, however it is in good overall condition with very few signs of wear and the case is in excellent condition. The watch is in full working order and is running well!

Personal Note

When first taking this watch out of the box I thought "There is no way I can wear this watch, it's just too big"... But Panerai definitely know what they are doing when it comes to case ergonomics, this watch just hugs the wrist and whilst definitely demanding it's presence it is not uncomfortable at all and I would happily enjoy wearing this without issue!

The Watch

1969, the year man landed on the moon and he was wearing none other than the Omega Speedmaster Professional! However the history of the Speedmaster goes back to 1957 and it wasn't until 1962 that it came to the attention of NASA. If you haven't already, I would highly recommend Googling "Omega Speedmaster History" and just delve into the wide array of information out there, it really will make you appreciate this watch so much more and appreciate the fact it is still "Affordable" to get a small taste of that history!

This watch comes paired on a high quality Leather strap and an aftermarket exhibition case back, but don't panic! Both the original case back and original bracelet are provided in the box for you to switch back to if you wish. 

Points of Mention

This watch is sold as a complete set and comes with it's full box and paperwork. This is the classic Speedmaster Professional with a hesitate crystal, it comes with it's original case back and currently on it is an exhibition aftermarket option. The watch also comes with it's original bracelet, currently it is paired on a finely made Colareb leather strap. The watch is sold in used condition, however it is in very good overall condition. The watch is fully working and runs well.

Personal Note

Does it get anymore classic and perfect than a Speedmaster Professional? I think not! Whilst the aftermarket exhibition case back will not be for everyone, the original is in the box to swap back to if desired. Overall this watch in general offers a lot of "Bang for the Buck" and is desired by most collectors. I wouldn't hang about with this one!

The Watch

Does it get anymore quintessential Bell & Ross than this BRS-92? Featuring a lovely silver dial that compliments the steel case, bold screws on each corner which really strengthen the aviation display influence that pushes Bell & Ross to these great designs. Coming in at 39mm it also wears perfectly on the wrist, demanding it's presence whilst not being over the top. Also paired on a rubber strap currently makes it incredibly versatile, however it does come with 2 other great Bell & Ross straps which really will give the wearer many options!

If you're bored of the traditional watches and want something different in the collection, something fun whilst also being a serious watch, this ticks those boxes. Plus... It's a bargain!

Points of Mention

This watch comes as a complete set with it's box and paperwork, it also comes with 2 extra Bell & Ross straps that pair beautifully with this model. The watch is sold as used, however it is in very good condition and was well looked after by it's previous owner. The watch is fully working and runs well!

Personal Note

I will be very honest! I never really liked these square Bell & Ross watches too much, I actually gravitated to their round watches and have sold a few in the past too! Though, giving this some time of the wrist it has COMPLETELY changed my mind. The way the 39mm case wears is perfect and the look of the watch is just brilliant, especially for someone who favours less traditionally styled watches, I do think you will see a Bell & Ross in my collection in the future!
