I'd suggest buying from Yorkshire watches over creation though...

At least you know they are already in the UK and a duties are paid.

Any watch with a j means it was built in Japan which means it's more expensive and more coveted than the K alternatives. My two seikos are a k's as I'm a pikey. I've noticed no downsides.

As already said that's a cracking everyday watch you're looking at however some info on the movement which may or may not be important to you.

The watch you are looking at has a 7S26 movement which is non hacking and non winding. This means if you take the watch off for a day or so and it stops you cannot wind it at the crown. Movement of the watch is the only way to wind it up. Non hacking means the second hand does not stop when you pull out the crown to set the time. If these aspects of the movement are important to you then you will need to be a bit flexible with your budget. My Seiko Monster for example has a 4R36 movement wich is hacking and winding but will set you back a bit more than the 007.

Cheers for the comments guys, interesting information on the movement as I hadn't noticed that although I don't think it will put me off as the watch is bang on budget for me.
I've researched Creation Watches a lot and they do get a lot of good feedback and I think they are around £50-£60 cheaper than Yorkshire so even if I get stung for import charges it will still be a good bit cheaper. Decisions decisions

I've bought from Creation in the past with no issue... but there's been reports recently of 1 or 2 customers unhappy with the watch and having the cold shoulder from their after sales support.

How would I get my watch valued to sell?

Jeweller or watch specialist?

Great clip Cal!

Okay, all that did was instill a greater desire for a really simple but big IWC (I know Rolfey, i know!)

However, if i sold the company tomorrow (okay it would be worth probably less than the Rolex!) but the Rolex Blue/Black did it for me.... Lovely!

Yup, really enjoyed that video and makes me want his first Patek.
I'm quite willing to sell the cars to pay for them too

There lies the problem. I'm a total watch snob and if I can't afford the real deal, I'm not interested in making do! So not interested in anything that isn't a Rolex, Omega, Patek, Panerai, IWC, AP,JLC etc etc...

On both points.

Love the simplicity of the big IWC and that blue/black Rolex is awesome

Great little clip, and incredible passion and knowledge.

Blue Black Rolex is lovely.

Loved the 2nd Patek too.

He really knows his stuff.......

Vintage Daytona for me...............

Did you notice how his tattoo's stop to accentuate any wrist candy he is wearing?

I guess the modern equivalent of Sir Jackie getting specially tailored jackets and shirts (left sleeve up to 2" shorter) as long time roving ambassador for Rolex

Picked this up from SELOC. Fancy hiring your watches?

Our pilot's watches were IWC.

Needless to say I never kept one, and the solid gold one that I received from the Sultan of Oman I gave to a friend, who like some of you was a collector and appreciated it.

That white-faced Patek at 7:20 is stunning

Interesting story behind the Submariner Comex - was given to clients, none were ever sold, not suitable for saturation divers

....reminds me of visiting Comex's headquarters in Marseille many moons ago with my father on business - fascinating place
