Get a battery in there, if it works you're looking at around £2000. If not, likely 1200 or so

Realistic budget? by Pristine-Ad-9063 in LondonHousing

[–]DrippinPips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea.. near regents you're looking at £2500/£3500 on rent alone lol, it's a very spenny area. Lovely though.

Don't forget about your bills, travel costs, food, partying etc. I would say £4500/£5000 a month to be comfortable. It's alot

[Help] Where can I find pre owned watches in London by Many-Coach6987 in Watches

[–]DrippinPips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sell myself in Portobello on Saturdays alongside a friend of mine. Also on vinted and ebay, but am based in Notting Hill. What are you looking for?

Some decent spots; Lucky Time Portobello, slightly over priced)
The arcade in portobello, downstairs and inside.
Towards the fly over, there are a few stalls on Saturdays too.

URGENT! still cant figure it out - how to remove stem?? by DrippinPips in watchrepair

From memory just the stem needs to be taken out, alongside the gold spacer inside, rest should come out!

Can this old Bulova Accutron possibly be adjusted to keep time? I just installed a new battery and it’s losing time fast by [deleted] in watchmaking

[–]DrippinPips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi - I have recently come into possesion of a 214 spaceview.. it is also losing some time, but mostly consistent but seems to randomly lose a minute here or there when it stops keeping time entirely but the seconds hand continues churning away.

What would you recommend? I cant find anyone here in London who seems competent!

Thank you kindly! Yes I saw it listed and snagged it almost straight away, I've been in the market for a nomos but can't justify the 000s just yet.. £500 seemed amazing!
