Selling two BLS Factory watches. Both are in excellent condition and have hardly been used.

BLS IWC Pilot Chronograph IW377710 – £300 posted

Black dial with stainless steel bracelet. Chronograph and day/date functions working as they should.

The watch is in excellent condition and has seen very little wrist time. I have removed two links from the bracelet for sizing, and these will be included with the watch.

Price: £300 including Royal Mail 1st Class postage within the UK.

BLS Breitling Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43 – £275 posted

Blue dial with black subdials and stainless steel Navitimer bracelet. Chronograph and date functions working as they should.

Again, this is in excellent condition and has hardly been worn. I have removed two links from the bracelet, which will be included with the watch.

Price: £275 including UK postage.

Payment by bank transfer or PayPal F&F.

UK sale preferred. Happy to provide further photos or videos if required

Hi,

I posted a parcel Tracked 48 at the Post Office on 31 July and have the Certificate of Posting. Delivery aim was 2–3 working days. It’s now been 5 days and the tracking still only says “Sender has despatched item” – it has never been scanned into the Royal Mail network at all. No movement whatsoever.

I’ve rung the 0345 number twice. Both times they said they can’t see where it is and to just wait until 11 August before anything can be done. The online help flow only ever dead-ends at the claims centre, which won’t let me do anything yet because it’s “too early.”

Questions for anyone who’s been through this:

Has a Tracked 48 ever sat on “sender despatched” with no scan for this long and then actually turned up for you?

Did anything actually work to get it traced before the claim window opened, or is waiting genuinely the only option?

Is it worth the recipient going into their local delivery office in person to check for held/unscanned mail?

Any advice from people who’ve had this happen would be hugely appreciated.

Cheers

Hi,

I am selling both as 43 mm is just a little too large for my wrist, so they don't get any wrist time. Both are in excellent condition, fully working, and have only been worn 2–3 times.

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for the TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 16 Day-Date Chronograph 43mm (Ref. CV2A1R.FC6235).

Does anyone know a trusted dealer or seller who still has this model in stock? It seems difficult to find as I asked around a bit.

Any leads would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi everyone,

I recently bought this Breitling Navitimer 8 with an A2824 automatic movement from a well-known TD. When I move or rotate the watch, I can hear and feel a noticeable clunking sound, almost as though something is loose inside.

I know some rotor noise is normal with automatic watches, but this feels and sounds much more pronounced than on my other automatic watches. I took the watch to three different watch repairers for their opinion. Two of them said they didn't want to open or work on it because they were concerned they might make the issue worse. The third, at Timpson, said he could send it to their workshop, but his opinion was that the whole movement would need replacing, which seems like an overkill without identifying the actual fault.

Does this sound like a loose rotor, a loose rotor screw, a movement holder issue, or something else? Is this normal for an A2824 movement, or should I be asking the TD for a repair, replacement, or refund?

Thanks

Hi all,

Up for sale is my Breitling Navitimer BLS Factory replica with the Asian 7750 automatic chronograph movement.

I bought this directly from a trusted dealer in China. The watch is working well, keeps good time, and all functions operate as they should.

I'm only selling because, after wearing it a few times, I've realised it looks a bit too large on my wrist. It has only been worn a handful of times and is in very good condition. I have attached the quality control pictures that were sent to me at time of purchase.

Details:

BLS Factory

Asian 7750 automatic chronograph movement

Black dial with silver subdials

Black leather strap with Breitling deployant clasp

Good cosmetic condition

Running well with all chronograph functions working

I'm not a dealer or professional seller and just a private watch enthusiast who enjoys collecting watches.

I'm currently in the UK until mid-October and can ship from within the UK. After mid-October, I'll be in Pakistan, so I can also arrange delivery within Pakistan if that's more convenient

Please feel free to message me if you have any questions or if you'd like additional photos or videos.

Hi everyone, I recently bought this Breitling Navitimer with a 7750-style automatic movement from a well known TD. When I move or rotate the watch, I can hear and feel a noticeable clunking sound, almost as though something is loose inside.

I already have another Navitimer with a 7750-style movement. I am familiar with the normal rotor spinning and wobble, but that watch does not make this clunking sound.

Does this sound like a loose rotor, rotor screw, movement holder, or another movement problem? Would you consider this normal for a 7750-style movement, or should I send it back for repair or replacement? Thanks

Hi all,

I bought a 2023 Sportage 1.6 hybrid last week. It had an oil and filter change end of May and passed its first MOT last week, so it's all up to date for now.

Kia have quoted me £819 for two services (Service 4 at 40k and Service 5 at 50k) — about £410 each, which feels steep.

Is it worth servicing through Kia despite the price (for the history/warranty), or is a good independent fine? I've read you can keep the 7-year warranty valid servicing outside the dealer as long as they follow the schedule and use the right parts — can anyone confirm they've done this without issues?

Also, does anyone know a good independent around York that's solid with Kia/hybrids?

Thanks

Hi everyone, could I please get some QC help on this Patek Philippe 5205R-style annual calendar moonphase?

Factory: PP+

Price: 2050 yuan

Model: Patek Philippe 5205R green dial style

Movement: automatic

Timegrapher: looked okay in the video that was sent.

I know this is not expected to be a super rep, but I just want to know whether it is acceptable for the price or whether I should RL.

Many thanks

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a decent, reasonably priced bodyshop around York?

This is my wife's car,I want the rear bumper and sil painted and the front door polished. I don't want to spend a fortune on it as it is an 11 year old car. Spoke to a few local body shops and they gave me quotes in excess of 800£.

Thanks
