bristolbaron 11 Posted April 12, 2013 ^ Lol, me too - really like the Kirium bezel design - I like the ones with the older type red/green coloured logo too... Why did they drop that range - loved the design? Who knows.. It was a belter at the time, such an easy watch to sell. The first models had the red/green for quartz and skeleton logo for Automatic. I'm looking for a grey dialled Auto. It was the first watch completely CAD designed. [can you say CAD designed? CAD'ed? :lol: ] And good luck with getting a Tag serviced here in the UK through official channels - they have legendarily bad customer service it seems. Rolex may be the Apple of the watch world in many respects, but along with that comes very good customer service. I'm more of an Omega guy personally even though I've only managed to afford to buy two! :) I wouldn't say no to certain Rolex's though - a nice basic Submariner or Sea-Dweller would do me. Way too pricey for me though :( Yep, LVMH like to charge for everything possible. It seems hard to get away with a basic service without being told you need something else too. Again, my stepfather can obtain genuine parts from LVMH for service. He's one of only a few in the country that can offer this. Rolex are phenomenal in what they can offer, hearing about what goes on behind the scenes they're a great company. Sadly Henry Hudson, the head of UK Service for many years retired a couple of years ago. He was single handedly responsible for the majority of Rolex UK's reputation. Omega are another great brand, again i'd recommend sticking with automatic movements such as the 007 above, however they do well at looking after older customers with sourcing parts. [unlike VW :lol:] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted April 12, 2013 I've got a late 80's / early 90's Speedmaster Professional (with the hand wound Cal. 861 movement) and recently acquired a 1952 Seamaster Automatic with a 'bumper' automatic movement.. it's been away with my watchmaker for the last 6 weeks going through a complete restoration and should hopefully get it back in the next week or so - can't wait!
