You are a patient man my friend.

We all have our purchasing criteria. For me the whole purchase experience is important which is why I am partial to MB&F who are a very customer centric company and Frodsham too who makes an effort to send a Christmas card annually to all its customer

Yes I visited Frodsham in 2018

and did post an article on the forum on the Frodsham. In 2021, I finally ordered a steel model due for a 2027 delivery but I feel the price increases have been justified. I actually still feel the Frodsham is good value taken into account its complex move

I am lost for words!

I must commend you on your eagle eyes. I was very keen on the Frodsham due to its rarity but you have single handedly put me off purchasing this watch. And for that I must thank you because I can't afford to buy an incorrect vintage watch. I don't even us

This is either the worst factory print job I have ever seen or more likely the work of a poor dial refinisher.

The off center alignment , the very poor print quality and accuracy. The Zero for the numbers is misshapened. The Quarter Markers are all misshapened. The 1 in 15 looks like a double strike. The whole subdial is a amature level print of a cheap rubber sta

Ah I see

Well, I had sent the same photo to Richard Stenning, one of the co owners of Charles Frodsham who has confirmed that it is a rare Frodsham wristwatch from the 1950s. He had also confirmed that the case maker during that time was Dennison and the movement

This time last year Padj shared the sad news that Christopher had passed away. Another valuable forum member which we lost. Here is that original post; www.watchprosite.com And also below some words I shared in the comments which hopefully paint a

Congratulations on 4 masterpieces.

It’s interesting; I also got into watches via panerai (had to wait for my 359, back then, so got a sub-no-date to fill the void back then), then AP and then independents (FPJ and Gronefeld and Frodsham etc etc). A friend also started with panerai and ende

I don’t mind waiting if I get accurate estimates.

I don’t like it when they constantly move the goal post like KV. I have a Frodsham on order and they told me it would be around 7 years. It’s like great I know that’s way down the pipeline. But if I’m being told this year then another year comes and goes
