Well for me there isn't much more to say about this beautiful watch! I have personally owned a Black Bay 36 for over a year now and it is amazing to get one in for sale to allow one of you to enjoy this incredible watch at such a great price! Full set with everything, great overall condition! Just do yourself a favour and get yourself this watch if you like the look of it, for this price I can guarantee you will not be disappointing! 

The Watch

Most watch collectors turn their head immediately when the word "Restored" is mentioned, however if done faithfully and for the right reasons I am all for it! If a watch has had severe watch damage and is no longer adequate to be a watch, then why waste something away that can never be used again? That was more than likely the case here and whomever restored it did an incredible job! The watch looks beautiful and is a treat to wear. The tuxedo style dial with the large bold numerals, striking red second hand and luminous hands, it's a design that has looked great in the past, continues to look good today and will continue to look great for many years to come!

Points of Mention

This watch is sold as watch only and therefore comes with no box or paperwork. The dial is faithfully restored, therefore it is not the original dial as it once was. The watch comes with no known service history, but the watch is running well.

Personal Note

I am not opposed to this watch at all and I think it looks absolutely incredible! I know it won't be for everyone and some people cannot look past restoration, but for those that can they are in for a treat with this watch!

The Watch

Where to begin with this incredible watch. You have all the charm of a diving watch with all the flare of a vintage watch. The slate grey dial just begs to be photographed and worn in various lighting, it really dances with the light. The deep black bezel contrasts perfectly between the dial and the case, plus... That case shape is so damn cool! I have a hard time seeing this watch not selling, but trust me when I say that if it doesn't soon... It'll become mine!

Points of Mention

This watch comes with no box or paperwork, whilst currently running there is no service history with this watch. The watch features a base metal case with a stainless steel case back, whilst in overall very good cosmetic condition, on the underside of the case some signs of the base metal wearing can be seen. The friction bezel works as intended.

Personal Note

I LOVE this watch! From the amazing slate grey dial to the deep black bezel, the shape of the case, the design... It really does look incredible on the wrist and off the wrist, this is one I suspect I will without doubt regret selling immediately! 

If I was to say an Automatic 7750 Chronograph movement, a CERAMIC case over a titanium core, great design and quality, still in guarantee and all that for the list price... Would you believe it? I certainly didn't! I had to go and read and re-read about this watch over and over... The fact that you are getting that much watch for this price is unreal and makes this watch a real value proposition! I would say if you are in the market for such a thing do not hesitate with this one, give me a call for any questions!

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!

How damn cool is this lovely Stowa Convertible travel clock / pocket watch! It is powered by a manual wound movement and can be rested on it's extended standard at the back, the whole case is a gold-tone plate in incredible condition! The fact this has survived with it's original box and Stowa tag is incredible too! All protected by a lovely leather case that is also in great condition, I feel as if this watch hasn't seen the light an awful amount of times!

The Watch

It is no secret that I have a lot of love and admiration for Tudor, this watch really brought them back into the market and started everything we now love in Tudor. It is amazing how far they have come in such a short time. Plus there is something very cool about knowing that they will never be making another of these watches again, sure they have the "New & Upgraded" version which is truly new and upgraded, but I mean who doesn't love a classic?

Points of Mention

This was is being sold as watch only, no box, papers or spare links. It will currently fit up to a 6 1/4inch wrist. The watch is showing signs of age and wear, scratches throughout and marks towards the clasp. The watch is running well though has no service history.

Personal Note

It is no secret these have been climbing and I suspect we will not see that slow down anytime soon! I think this is a great example of one that can be found for a decent price and with a service and clean up will be like brand new for any collector out there!

The Watch

There is some serious charm when it comes to a vintage watch that is essentially a mystery, this is exactly one of those! "Waterproof" stated on the sector dial with bold syringe hands, sub seconds at 6o’clock and lovely Arabic numerals. The design of this watch is what speaks most, the contrast of the high gloss gold ring on the outer edge against the vibrant blued hands… From dial, to case shape and size, this watch is all charm, both on and off the wrist!

Points of Mention

This watch is sold as watch only and comes with no box and paperwork. The watch has no service history, whilst it is running and keeping time a service would be recommended with any vintage pieces that are sold with no service history. The case is base metal and showing signs of wear, the crown requires you to pull and hold to change the time.

Personal Note

Is it perfect? No! Is it charming? 100% yes! This is one of those watches for a true collector, someone who enjoys something a little out of the ordinary and something that stands out in a good way. This will certainly attract questions and spark an interesting conversation.

This is an incredible value proposition when you truly take a second to look at all the details! What you have here is a manual wound Hamilton running the Cal. 649 which is also known as the ETA 2750, a very reliable 17 jewel movement! It is military field styling with an all matte case and beautifully grained black dial and a matching matte Hamilton signed crown! Retailed by L.L.Bean hence the presence of that at 12 o'clock! All this put into a 33mm case which has a lug-to-lug of 40mm which means it wears very well on all wrists!

Once you have considered all this and look at the price I think you will be as shocked as I was when I priced this watch! Get them whilst they are still affordable.

The Watch

The Rolex 1601 is one of our favourite vintage references from the brand, it is everything we know and love about Rolex but in a more subtle and understated package compared to their sport models. This early reference features a beautifully patina'd eggshell dial with applied gold indices and gold dauphine hands, these contrast perfectly against the dial. The iconic 18k yellow gold bezel against the steel oyster case makes for an incredible wearing experience, plus the case features drilled lug holes which makes changing straps convenient and fun, with a watch like this you will want to be experimenting with many straps.

Points of Mention

The dial does have patina as you can see from the photo. The watch has been professionally polished in the past and still has it's sharp edges without being too soft like we often see with polished oyster cases. The crown screws down nicely and winds smoothly, the watch was serviced in 2018 and is still running well. The watch is paired on a black leather strap with gold tone buckle.

Personal Note

I really love this reference, but this variation of the reference is one of my favourite. You get that classic datejust look whilst being even more subtle, sometimes sport Rolex models can be too loud on the wrist, this sits beautifully on the wrist being 36mm but also that pop of gold is just enough to make it nice and interesting still. If I was to get myself a datejust it would be this variant of the reference for sure. 

The Watch

The Tissot Seastar range covers so many different models and designs and this vintage Sonorous is a great example of how far they pushed the design and functionality of this range in the 1970s! This watch features an alarm which is controlled via the top Tissot signed crown at 2o'clock. This was an incredible useful function in those times and still can be a bit of fun to use now and still useful! This watch features a subtle blue dial with an inner red ring, vivid red alarm hand and a popping orange central seconds! From a distance this watch looks quite toned down, but upclose those little characteristic traits pop and give this watch real charm!

Points of Mention

This watch is sold as watch only and comes with no box or paperwork. The watch is original and shows signs of age, the watch comes on a Tissot signed bracelet. There is no service history with the watch, though it is running well, service would be recommended if worn daily.

Personal Note

So much watch for such little money! You get a vintage watch from a highly respected brand, mechanical with a mechanical alarm function, beautiful dial with great pops of colour and a really funky 70s bracelet! 

What a simple, yet beautiful offering I have here for you from Longines. This watch dates to 1951 and comes in at a surprising 35mm which would have been considered quite large for the time. Due to the shape of the case it wears so well on the wrist and just looks great! 

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

"Martin-Baker is a British aviation company responsible for supplying 70% of the world’s air-forces with fighter ejection seat technology. They first approached Bremont to create the definitive aviation watch in 2007/08. More than simply putting a logo on an existing model, the watch had to withstand the same rigorous testing programme as the ejector seats themselves. Two years later, the Bremont MB range was born. The limited edition Bremont MBI was solely for pilots who had ejected from an aircraft using a Martin-Baker seat. This rather select group includes US congressmen and senators, CEOs of leading FTSE and Dow companies, and the chiefs of six air forces around the world (the one exception is a major Hollywood star who tracked down and persuaded an ejectee to buy a watch on his behalf). While the MBI is reserved for the few, the MBII is available to all and has become a Bremont best seller." And that's straight from their website! Sums it up perfectly!

Points of Mention

This watch is sold as a complete set and comes with its original box, papers, cosc card and a few little extras! The watch is pre-owned but still in good condition and has a small amount of manufacture warranty left!

Personal Note

Having worked with Bremont at retail for a few years I can safely say my appriciation for the brand and what they are trying to achieve for watch making in the UK is great and I wish them nothing but the best! This MBII is a perfect example of their ability to make truly great watches!
