The Watch

I am incredible excited to be offering arguably TAG Heuer's most iconic and instantly recognisable watch, the TAG Heuer Monaco, but not just any Monaco! A beautiful limited edition of only 250, with a striking carbon fibre dial and pops of red! Whilst not for everyone, it is certainly for someone! The Monaco was made famous by Steve McQueen in the film Le Mans from 1971, since then this has been an absolute icon and rightly so! Love or hate TAG, respect for the Monaco is universal within the watch world!

This is a great opportunity for a fan of the Monaco to own something that is very limited and will likely never be seen on the wrist of another person! The carbon fibre dial is so striking and the pops of red really add so much character to the watch, match that with the iconic shape... It's a bold watch! Not for the faint hearted, but if you are wearing a Monaco you certainly aren't faint hearted anyway!

Points of Mention

This watch is sold as a full set coming with watch box and papers, the guarantee card is unsigned, the watch comes with its outer retailer box! The watch has no service history but is running well, a service would be recommended soon due to age. The watch was purchased new by one owner and worn very rarely as you can see from the condition, this is also paired on the original strap it was sold on at retail.

Personal Note

It is big, it is bold but it is damn AWESOME! When I first saw a photo of this watch I didn't think I would actually like it on the wrist that much, but it has really shocked me! With a t-shirt and jeans this watch just looks insanely good!

The Watch

This beautiful 1964 Omega Oversized Reference 2748 was faithfully and professionally restored by SwissTec to the highest of standards, the dial is incredible and looks perfect, the case with its brushed and polished is brilliant! Overall you will not be disappointed with this 36mm dress watch that looks a million pounds both on and off the wrist! The finishing to the sector dial plays with the light perfectly, depending on what angle you have it the silvered numerals explode and give the watch a whole new feel!

Whilst restored dials aren't for everyone, I think they offer a vintage watch to people in perfect condition and faithful to how it originally looked. If done well it can even rival the original dial in how great it is, this is one of those examples!

Points of Mention

This watch is sold as watch only and comes with no box or paperwork. This watch comes on an original Omega strap with buckle. The watch was professionally and faithfully restored by SwissTec and comes with a purchase receipt from Austin Kaye from 2016. The watch was serviced in 2016 and is running well. 

Personal Note

When an email hit my inbox stating a restored dial I was hesitant, but after seeing a few photos and then finally having the watch in hand I was absolutely blown away! This watch has changed my mind of restoring dials, for the right reasons you can bring new life to an old watch!

The Watch

The Omega "Medicus" was the brands first wristwatch to feature a central seconds hand, this made the watch easier to read and bigger. The watch quickly became known as the "Nurses' watch" due to how beneficial the central seconds was for medical staff during the second world war. The Medicus became an import watch for Omega and for its history and now is highly collectible! The references dates from 1935-38 and was faithfully restored by SwissTec to an incredible standard of both the dial and the case, looks absolutely incredible both on and off the wrist!

The dial has been finished to a very high standard and the hands match perfectly, giving the edge the watch would have originally had. The case sits nicely on the wrist at 33mm, perfect for the person not afraid of smaller watches. Housed inside is the ever reliable Cal. 23.4 which is a true work horse of a movement by Omega!

Personal Note

A great vintage watch of high quality, prestigious brand and true history does not have to cost thousands! This watch proves that perfectly and this is why my love for Omega is so strong! Even in my personal collection I have an Omega from 1944, I suspect it will never leave... I suspect this won't leave your collection when it gets there! 

The Watch

"Presented to A.W. FLack By W.J. Bush & Co Ltd. in appreciation of 40 years loyal service 1957" That is the lovely and well done engraving on the back of the watch, from a little bit of digging W.J. Bush & Co Ltd was a business founded by William John Bush in 1850/51 when he acquired a factory that steam distilled multiple items from herbs, spices, essential oils etc... A.W. Flack remains unknown, but what we do know is in 1957 it was his 40th year with the company! They must have been good!

The great thing about watches is the stories they hide within themselves that we never truly uncover unless the story is passed along with the watch, which is all part of the fascination. Thankfully this story is locked away in a beautiful Omega dating from 1957, applied Arabic numerals which catch the light beautifully and a nice oversized sub dial, long and sharp hands that also catch the light! Even at 33mm it wears incredibly well and looks amazing!

This watch is sold as watch only and comes with no box or paperwork. The watch is all original with patina visible on the dial, the watch has no service history and one would be recommended if this watch was to be worn regularly. The watch runs well currently.

Personal Note

This is what makes watches great! Gems like this come around every so often and you wish you could keep them all! Unfortunately I cannot keep them all, so I get to offer them to you!

The Watch

I am very excited to offer this incredible Lum-Tec M78 Middle East edition with a striking and vibrant green dial, hefty but well-proportioned stainless steel case housing a reliable automatic calibre STP 1-11. And as the name suggests incredible lume! This watch is brand new and I am retailing it, so once sold the guarantee will begin and it will be signed "KibbleWatches"! The watch offers so much value for money and the brand is brilliant too. 

Points of Mention

This watch is sold as brand new and unworn, lifestyle photos are of the exact reference but a used model! This watch is being retailed by me, meaning once sold the manufacture warranty will begin from date of sale.

Personal Note

I have been a fan of Lum-Tec for a while, I owned a M54 Bronze many years ago and have been a keen following since. I am excited to see what you all think of this awesome watch, it will certainly tick the right boxes for the right collector!

The Watch

When this model came into my hands I could not believe I had never seen it before! This desert sand colour dial, strap and even case! Which the case is in fact Aluminium which is very unusual in itself too, overall this watch is a real oddity in all the good ways! Also very unknown and rarely seen! Compressor style case with an inner rotating bezel, matching nato strap which suits the watch perfectly too. Inside is the Hamilton H-10 movement which boasts an impressive 80 hour power reserve, it is incredible what Hamilton are currently producing and this is no exception!

Whilst certainly a large watch it wears very well on the wrist, sitting how a Seiko Turtle does on the wrist, wide case but short lug to lug length making it compact and comfortable. You definitely don't need huge wrists to wear this!

Points of Mention

This watch is sold with its box and paperwork, the watch is also provided on its original strap. The watch is sold as worn but has no marks to the case and is in great condition, the watch is also running great and still way within manufacturing warranty. 

Personal Note

This watch is super attractive and unusual! You are definitely not going to see this watch out in the wild on another person’s wrist... And if you do I suspect it will be on interesting conversation! Snatch this up soon!

The Watch

An automatic world timer from a respectful and historic brand for under £1000, actually WAY under £1000?! I am very excited to offer this incredible watch from Ball, a brand famous for its involvement in the railways and timing! The watch also features the famously used gas tubes that Ball absolutely love to use, these automatically light the watch in dark situations without an initial charge of light. The watch does come in big at 45mm but surprisingly wears well and is incredibly comfortable on the subtle rubber strap.

Points of Mention

This watch is sold as watch only and comes with no box or paperwork. The watch comes paired on its original BALL rubber strap. The watch has no service history but is currently running well, all functions working as they should!

Personal Note

If value for money is your thing then I really don't even have to sell you on this watch as you would have probably sold yourself already! So much value for money, world timer, Swiss brand, automatic movement, cool lume... All for that price! INSANE!

The Watch

Co-Signed watches are hot right now, the obvious name come to mind when we think co-signed which is mainly Tiffany & Co! Now this is certainly not a Tiffany & Co, but it is a damn cool Turler signed Eterna-Matic! This is a lovely gold plated automatic offering from a brand with so much history it is incredible that they are still so undervalued, especially co-signed like this one! This watch will make a lovely dress watch with a talking point, definitely a piece for the collectors out there!

Points of Mention

This watch is sold as watch only and comes with no box or paperwork. The case is gold plated and therefore is showing signs of age and fading. The watch has no service history so a service would be recommended if the watch is to be worn regularly. 

Personal Note

It is watches like these that I like to offer alongside some of the bigger value items as it shows the variety of watches you can really get and how I want to offer something for everyone where possible!

The Watch

Who doesn't love a good Seiko? I have been told I haven't been offering them as much so here is an incredibly cool, rare and awesome one! 1972 Seiko Bellmatic, reference 4006-6031! Gold plated which the most fascinating of dials that once catches the light really bounces it around and gives off many different tones of brown, match that with the sharpness of the yellow gold, you are left with a beautiful watch both on and off the wrist. At 39mm it sits perfectly on the wrist and adds a nice modern dimension without being too large or too small, it really is a size anyone can wear with comfort!

Points of Mention

This watch is sold as watch only and comes with no box or paperwork. The watch is gold plated and therefore has signs of wear and the plating fading in some areas. The watch has no service history so one would be recommended if this watch is to be worn regularly, all functions work on the watch.

Personal Note

An automatic alarm watch, as cool as a concept alone! Even cooler that it is in a vintage Seiko and all for such a bargain, I will be very surprised if this lasts too long!

The Watch

It is great to see Longines still going strong with their Heritage range and offering such great and beautiful watches at affordable prices. This Heritage 1945 is based on the thin, flat bezeled watches from that era and particularly a 37mm manually wound watch that Ben Clymer of Hodinkee owns. This 40mm automatic offering is definitely larger and more modern than the original watch, it is still true enough to the original and gives that vintage charm we all love. Coming as a full set from February 2019 it has plenty of manufacturing warranty left, sticker still on the back and only real sign of it being worn is in the strap! So overall a great package for this watch if you want to save some money on the retail price!

Points of Mention

This watch is sold as a complete set with box and paperwork, the guarantee card is signed from February 2019 and still has until February 2021 in manufacture warranty. The watch is barely worn with the sticker still on the back, only signs of wear are in the small crease to the strap where the buckle has been tightened. The watch is running great!

Personal Note

This is another brilliant offering from Longines with their Hertiage range. I personally would have preferred to see this watch in a 38mm case at most, but even at 40mm it sits on the wrist well and still has all that vintage charm you would want from a heritage offering.

The Watch

"But James... It's only a 31mm case, it is far too small!"... Try this on and you will be blown away, whilst yes it is a smaller watch the wrist presence is still incredible and wears more like a 34mm thanks to that oyster case, which those who have tried any Oyster case on will know they wear larger than their mm size says. This vintage gem is in its original condition with the dial untouched, which is quite rare as people like to "clean" these dials up. I personally believe the watch looks incredible with the slight ageing to the egg-shell dial. The watch also features a roulette date, original alpha hands and a nice case which has not been over polished! Paired on a nice rivet bracelet that looks right at home on this watch, it's a great package for a great price! Perfect for the man comfortable wearing a smaller watch or for a lady too!

Points of Mention

This watch is sold as watch only and comes with no box or paperwork. The bracelet is a NON Rolex Rivet bracelet that will only fit a 6 3/4 inch wrist. The watch is original and shows signs of age. There is no service history with the watch, though it is running well, service would be recommended if worn daily.

Personal Note

Who doesn't love a vintage Rolex, especially the smaller ones as they are so different to the modern Rolex of today that are hot! I think the popularity of these is only going to grow, especially if they are kept in great original condition like this one!
