I’ve bags of old coins, any I need to look out for that’s worth anything?

Too many to mention. Not a Rolex fan, like Omega. The holy trinity, Patek, VC and AP. IWC pilots and Portugueser appeal. Quite keen on Navitimer, recent editions. My daily is usually my AP.....Affordable Piguet... the Tissot PRX

The Tissot PRX is a lovely watch. Tissot watches are really well made. I have had a couple of old Seastars which I have cleaned up and sold for a decent profit. Both were just lying in boxes at car boot sales! One was a lovely thing which I almost kept for myself.

I am in trouble again. I bought a Bremont u2 a week ago in an auction which turned up today. I funded it by selling watches I traded but that doesnt seem to wash.

I have been after a Bremont for a while and I have to say it is top quality. It looks tremendous and comes with a rubber and leather strap. The rubber is superb. A british watch that outstrips many Swiss watches. I would wear this before an Omega for example, loads cheaper too.

I am looking at a zenith at the minute, which might go for peanuts, but could cost me marriage. Anyone got a spare room

That was the "wow" moment for me....first time seeing Saturn's rings. Still in awe every time I look at it.
Never tire of looking at the moon either....just fascinating.

think the biggest surprise with someones first effort with a scope...is how feckin fast everything shoots across the sky.

the moon is always worth a look, so much to see and you get a bit more time to focus.

I am in bother with my wonderful wife. Again.
I have two hobbies in life, away from footy and sport. I keep fish and invest in watches. I have taken on a dozen orfe that were becoming homeless and the fella has messaged to say he needs to drop them round before 7:30 in the morning. Saturday is my wifes only lie in day but because I take my lad boxing training between 7 and 9 on a saturday she is going to have to take collection I am in bother more than normal because a watch arrived a month ago that was meant to be secret!!

Does anyone else have innocent vices that get you in bother?

That's an orfe you couldn't refuse
