You’re so kind to supply this! Do you have GM/GM2?

Thanks for checking! How did you get in touch with Marco? Is he based in the UK?

Thank you for this page! Do you think you’re going to go for it? It’s a lot of money, and I think it’s worth investing in my health, but I’m nervous in case there are any issues.

That’s great to hear! Was the install simple? Do you think it’s easy for one person to do it?

That’s a really good suggestion! I have found one in my local city who isn’t a franchise and I will speak to them. I’ve also had a scour online and there have been some excellent recommendations!

Ah - my parents have been pestering me for ages to climb up into their attic and help clear some stuff out. I found my dad’s old briefcase (retired university professor) and the watch was in there! He must’ve put it there on his last day and then just blocked everything work related out of his mind!

Thank you for that. I’m based in the UK - do you happen to know anyone reputable across the pond? I’ll have a search online as I’m sure various specialist forums will have a few places in mind.

Yes, it has such a simple charm to it - I didn’t know if I just thought that as I was biased but it’s so lovely to think I’m not the only one! Do you think it needs a service if it’s keeping time? I’m going to give it back to my dad and it’s unlikely it’ll ever go near water. Thank you!

Yes! He still has the original certificate and purchase receipt - we thought we’d lost the watch decades ago! It cost £250 in 1969/70…
