You only need two tools in life - wd-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the wd-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.
And if you can't fix it with a hammer,you've got an electrical problem!
This is the one I meant:

I think it's out of budget though - can't find a price for that actual watch but it appears others are £2k ish
Some nice ones there arry, shame the ones I like the look of are Williams F1 watches, why do they do that?
I didn't in the end get a watch.... I ended up having a dip in my friend's hot tub and decided I want one of those instead so need to save a bit more........
Plus pick pocketed at Waterloo Station and realised if I spent loads on a watch, I'd be so upset if it got nicked.... because I would have to wear it
I'm still undecided too, just for the reason I'm not sure I want to walk around with a couple of grand's worth of jewellery on me.
That and the fact I've realised that if you want a nice watch that you like the look of, with a decent name on it, then it's £2k upwards rather than £1k and some change. £2k for me is my garden hard landscaped, or my new front door, or hallway replastered etc. Takes some putting into perspective.
I hardly ever wear my Breitling, because I got too pissed and will have it nicked or lose it.
I lost a moderately expensive watch (a Rotary) back in 1999 at one night at Hollywoods
It's a block of flats now. Sort of a shame I guess
got this on the way

Decided against buying anything in the end.
Went out and had a feel of the Tag Carreras, Omega Seamasters, Oris F1's, Hamiltons, and a few others and the only thing I could find that I really felt was pulling me towards it was the Tag, but I don't like the strap colours, and I'd be damned I can pay £2.6k for something I'm not entirely comfortable with. Got the Oris F1 down to £1500 in the end but again, it didn't feel like £1500 worth of watch - the quality of the Tag actually shone out past it compared but I couldn't justify the budget.
This all coincided with getting my mortgage statement through and taking a depressing look at the reality of negative equity and compound interest. Nothing quite as eye opening as this.
i have a vintage 1952 omega seamaster in gold that was only £300 from an antiques fair,
maybe try something vintage, nothing quite like a mechanical watch for craftsmanship
HTC Desire or even an iPhone will do the same job very well a lot cheaper ...

Have two watches from these guys, one's an auto, and I have to say that I'm extremely pleased with both. Very good value for money and not too many people have them. Loads of people comment on how nice they look.
