Top stuff. I think it’s been discontinued now which maybe the reason for the rise in value.

Try Cheshire watches in Wilmslow mate, I know they do a lot of in house work, worth a phone call.My father in law owns a non working Bulova watch that we're trying to get repaired for him
We've taken it to a local independent jewellers who are very honest and said that it needs to be looked at by a Bulova specialist
Can anyone recommend one?
We're in mid Cheshire so anywhere in the triangle of Manchester, Liverpool, Chester

I've got 5 watches: A FitBit, a Casio Illuminator, a G-Shock, a Citizen Ecodrive and a Slo Watch.
G shock is about 24 years old. Needs a new battery, but still works. Casio is at least 5 years old and pretty much my everyday work watch. Fitbit I wear all the time outside of work, and the other 2 occasionally in formal and semi-formal settings. They all tell perfect time, and need adjusting twice a year when the clocks change (apart from the FitBit which updates through the WiFi app).
My mate has a Breitling which is about as accurate as a sundial in the rain. He pays more money to get it serviced every 18 months than my 5 watches cost in total.

His Breitling must be a snide then because I have two and they are both extremely accurate still after 10 and 12 years.I've got 5 watches: A FitBit, a Casio Illuminator, a G-Shock, a Citizen Ecodrive and a Slo Watch.

Don't even possess a watch, in my job it would get scratched to fuck, so have gotten used to not bothering
Same here.
Bought a titanium watch with scratch proof glass.
Bloody strap pin broke.
So now,don't bother.

If I bought an expensive Swiss watch how much would I expect to pay for a new battery roughly ?
Like a Breitling or Tag.
