OLDBLOKE74 11,236 Posted May 15 @Alan32 Can’t believe I have never heard of Duckworth watches … Just googled them - remember the old jewellery business and bought my wedding rings there about 40 years ago before I moved away from Bolton. Small world innit? So many good looking micro brands around these days - the watchmaking sector is changing al the time. I will definitely giving them some business very soon, the porcelain dial is cool for sure Meanwhile - much older more established brand GP , great quality watches - not worn this one for years, amazing what you find at the back of the cupboards. 25 years old watch and it looks like new 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daffy 183 Posted May 15 @splke Here is my latest pickup. A gen Omega that came from the factory with a licensed Bulova Tuning Fork movement. Smooth as buttah. Put it to your ear, and you will hear a hum at 300hz. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because I have several that have a hacking function in addition to the smoothest second hand movement you've ever seen. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redfire1066 13,952 Posted May 16 @Daffy .. no, Swiss quartz Ronda 515-24HR movement … for some reason they left out the second hand and opted for a GMT hand .. bizzare .. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
