    Hello

    Hello everyone. I am just getting interested in watches and have some nice ones that are quite old now and I have trouble getting the batteries changed in them.
    I hope to learn a lot from here as there seems to be a wide knowledge base.

    Hello all of you.
    I dont have any pictures as I dont have a camera, and to be honest I dont want one! My grandson brought me this computer and I have had trouble getting used to that.
    It was my grandson who found these chatterboards and he signed me up to this one after he had a look around and told me it was safe enough.

    How do there :salute:

    If you can't take photos you could tell us what sort of watches you have. If you explain what difficulties you are having getting new batteries one of the knowledgable folks here may well be able to suggest a solution.

    Hello again. I lost my password and had to wait for my son to turn up again. Right, you wanted to know about my watches, here are some of them, a Rolex Air King, it has got a black face, I bought that new in 1958. A gold cased Omega dressy watch, my wife bought me that in 1962. I have an old pocket watch as well somewhere and some electric watches as well.

    Welcome :wave:

    I believe this site is quite safe unless you venture into the Bear Pit / Boy's Room / Sales Corner etc. Watch Talk is definitely the way forward :)

    P.S. Tell your grandson to put up some nice pictures for you. It'll help with sorting out batteries and also satisfy our curiosity!

    There are some electric watch afficionados on the board who will definitely be able to advise you on which modern batteries work in the old hummers as well as where to get advice/servicing help for them.

    Someone asked me how much I paid for the Rolex. To be honest, I cannot remember, I know I could have got another car for the same amount of money.

    Hello, Grandson here.

    We found this in my grandads dressing table drawer. The case looks like Gold. Grandad doesnt remember buying it, he thinks Nanny might have bought it for him.

    Hopefully one of the rolex experts will be along shortly to tell us what model it is. :)

    It most probably has one of these inside (nice big balance there). Yes the case is gold. They are not as desirable as the sports models. In fact they are not desirable at all. In general the gold content of the cases is worth more than the whole watch and that's why who find them uncased and sold separately.
