greg_r 81 Posted June 13, 2009 "BBC"? It will be slow, but proper, and stop for Tea. :damn_the_colonials: but will deteriorate rapidly and will cost people who don't look at it vast amounts of money to keep it going Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mtt.tr 0 Posted June 13, 2009 Here we go. If any one has and info i would be grateful if you could tell me about it. It also has a three digit number on the back of the case. Also it is actually from the bbc as the person who gave it to me use to work there so i know it isnt a fake Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trailboss99 994 Posted June 13, 2009 Have to open the back to be shure but it looks like a Huer specialy branded for the BBC. Could be reasonably valuable as it's collectible for several reasons. It's both a BBC colectable and a swiss stopwatch. Proberly late 60s, early 70s at a guess. Nice watch! Um, no, I'm wrong, it's worth nothing. Send it to me for disposal Col.

It's definitely off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trailboss99 994 Posted June 14, 2009 No idea on value. I'd say it's true value would be as a BBC colectors piece rather than as a stopwatch per se. Col. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
