Brammie Steve Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 I've suddenly fallen in love with Bernex mechanical (not Quartz) watches having just got these two for a good price! froggg, mozza, Coneheadjohn and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Ram Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Phew my favourite thread is still here. Woke up last night in a panic. Competition between watches can get pretty ugly. Someone even mentioned the word Timex once.. Hate speech.. Archied 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Thought about removing it, then I remembered that pointy bit on the end of cowboy boots and didn’t fancy it full force up my rear end from @Cisse Angry Ram and Cisse 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently so, not that anyone has seen them. Bit of a myth around Derbyshire he has created. Cisse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brammie Steve Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Remember my love affair with Bernex timepieces? I've added a beauty. Sold for spares or repairs, I put a new battery (OK it's quartz) in andIF it's keepin perfect time. Over £200 14 years ago, it cost me £20...... about the price of the box! froggg and Steve How Hard? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helping my Auntie declutter after my uncle's death, came across a battered old case with an ancient flute in it. I remember it from young childhood 70 years ago(!) and it has been untouched since then. Did some research on it to find that it's a Rudall & Rose. The address on the flute dates its manufacture to between 1827 & 1837. Further research shows that these can sell for £2,000 or more. I've been in touch with a guy who specialises in restoring/ renovating old woodwind instruments and I'm meeting him on Thursday. I realise that this is nothing to do with watches but I'm not starting a new thread for flutes! If you're interested, I'll post a couple of pics.

That Rudall (possibly a forerunner of Rudall Carte) sounds great, albeit out of my price bracket. Post the pics por favor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
