Baffled
@Mullardman years ago I had a very similar square Seiko 5 DX with a lovely green dial. It was a non-runner and the local jewellers told me it was beyond economic repair. I rather wish I'd held onto it now!
There's one on eBay, working, for £170. http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-5...0001&campid=5338728743&icep_item=124297615284
Thanks - sadly I've recently exhausted the timepiece budget (£5) on a Casio MQ-24-7BLL.
Does anyone know if this watch is worth fixing? It was presented to my other half's Grandfather on his retirement. A quote of £500 was plucked from the air by someone.

I was thinking about Mull - he's minted.
I don't know but it appears to read 'Thos Russels & Son'.. on a Swiss made watch... which makes me think Russells is/was a dealer rather than a maker. If that's the case probably a pretty standard swiss movement.. but all guess work on my part. Looks like gold. Looks like much of the yellowing of the dial may actually yellowing of the 'glass..if it's err. not glass. I'd be inclined to take it to a reputable repairer for an opinion.
That looks almost exactly the same as my Oris Diver 65 that I got for £1200, even down to the deep blue dial. The hands on mine are a bit thinner and the blobs are a bit smaller.
I've also got a Seiko Cocktail time dress watch with a silver/blue dial which was the princely sum of £350 and is gobsmacking value for money. How much was the above, if you don't mind me asking?
Looks nice but that's rather a lot for an ETA 2824 watch. Your Image is a bit noisy, is the fit and finish really good?
I was never a fan of the Hulk always looked to big and square but the new one with the slimmer lugs does look betterI see Rolex have released a new 41mm kermit, like its predecessor, looks much better than the hulk IMO. as for some of the new OP colours, yuk!
