Sidney Watches
I recently bought a Sidney (not Hamilton Sidney....just Sidney on the face) watch off of eBay. It's a 17j model and runs great but I'm having a hard time locating any info on Sidney watches. Can someone tell me something about the history of Sidney watches or point me to some links that will provide info? Thanks.....mdudleyh.

I have this watch...
Pity we don't have a British Watch Forum. Does anyone know of, or have they heard of a line of British watches known as Bravingtons? All my research can dig up is that the name belongs to a chain of jewelers which seems to be slowly disappearing (for whatever reason(s). I'm assuming the movements were made by a small independent Swiss watchmaker and then shipped over to Merrie Olde England where Bravington's then cased the movements to be sold in their stores. But I have no way to confirm this theory. If anyone has more info, it would be appreciated.The case is in rough shape but then, the original owner lived across The Pond.As you can tell, the caseback is not very much help..Thanx for looking.

Price for a 1996 Omega Seamaster professional (auto)?
Need to sell mine. Was just totally refurbished by Omega in NYC.What should I ask?Many thanks!Brian

Anyone wear Nautilus every day?
Question for you one-watch Nautilus wearers, if there's any out there:Are there times you don't wear the Nautilus? Do you wear something else, or go wrist-commando?I've been debating getting a tool watch. Thoughts run from $400 Hamilton to $4,000 Sub. I just bought an AP Royal Oak moon phase, but that's hardly the tool watch I had in mind. And now that I'm wearing my Nautilus for the first time in the three days since I got the AP, I'm beginning to think I want Patek and nothing else. And believe me, that Royal Oak is a fabulous watch from every point of view. I'm not looking for advice here on which tool watch to get. Rather, I'm looking for thoughts on being a one watch (or one brand) guy if anyone out there can identify with that! As always, thanks in advance for responding to my inquiries (none of which have any bearing on the truly important things in life!) Just a hobby to enjoy when we can, right? Cheers!

Incoming! Correct guess WIN GE London book!
Yes that's right I'm being generous this month on August because its the month of my birthday. Freaking 30 now so old. So if everything goes well I will have a new watch tomorrow, if you can guess what it is I will mail you the book still the plastic brand new. I was there on the last day of the exhibition and they were giving out multiples of books to the visitors. 4 clues to make it easier:-the watch has a moon phase -black dial-not limited edition-currently i have 5164, wouldn't want another sport watch.The real reason why I'm giving out the book is because I want to say big big thank you to every members in this forum especially the pledge members for providing insight full information on Patek watch. You guys have truly poison my mind. This forum is a great learning experience for people who are new to luxury watches like myself. I wouldn't call myself a Patek collector or a watch collector for that matter,rather just an admirer of great watches. Thus the book will mean much more
