Just my thoughts but I think anyone who pays £7,000 - £16,000 for a watch has waaaaaayyyy too much money.

And here is a scarce Blue Dial Sekonda from my collection... Best Wishes Darren

Hi Will, I actually use a black tile as background and eliminate reflections using a black plastic sheet from an old folder..

Great post Lawson, I must admit repairing the thread especially a left hand thread would be a problem for most and me. Getting the correct tap would also be a big issue. I know where you are coming from as I restored my first watch that I was given on my 11th birthday i.e it's now 50 years old. Like yours not of great value ( an EB8800 movement ) but it has great sentimental value to me. It was very badly rusted and I had to change most of the movement parts and really I should have changed the entire movement but very satisfied with the end result.

It may well be that the movement was either cased by an Edinburgh jeweller or that there was a stock of Edinburgh-assayed cases in Edinburgh. My Swiss Majex with the AR movement also has an Edinburgh hallmark - for 1955.

I can see where you are coming from as that was my first impression. When I sat back and gave it some thought, I saw it more as an icon rather than just Don's initials, a bit like the movement identification symbols we see on watch movements. I am assuming that when used for advertising purposes it will always have the DJW Custom Timepieces written underneath.

I hate to be the wet blanket here but to me it seems a bit fussy, could you simplify it a bit? Less is more, sort of thing.
