Couple of pics of the Geckota that arrived today. Really pleased with this watch, nicely finished with a quality strap, just needs an automatic movement but still looks great. Strangely it came with a branded wine bottle opener and torch pen :?

Thanks alot, I've got my fair share or quartz of which 5 need replacement batteries :oops: so I must get them sorted although I'm thinking of getting a caseback removal tool and replace them myself. I have Tissot TRace quartz which has to be sent back to them at 70 quid a time :|

Thanks for the linky :thumbsup: will get one ordered, I think with the Tissot the crown guard has to be replaced for some strange reason, every watch place I've taken it to says they can't replace the battery :cry:

I think they just say that to guarantee the waterproof-ness of the watch.

If you're not an avid diver, I wouldn't worry.

They said the same about my missus Michael Kors watch.. I couldn't be arsed to send it back so took it to a few different watch battery replacement shops.. One wanted £165 to replace the battery.

Needless to say, £20 later with my own tools and a new battery I managed to replace the battery! Easy stuff!

sticky ain't wrong, Rob, although perhaps the quality of modern Rolexes is underestimated.

I like this Glashutte Original Senator 'Karree' Moonphase Panoramadate very much, but rarely wear it. I don't know why.

Some cheat sold me this Omega. It arrived with only one hand and the date only goes up to 12. Ba$tard.

Beautiful watch, though. :wink:
