chunky!
i've been dithering over jlc's polaris memovox for ages, doesn't go as deep as the ball, but it's similar thickness, probably will still be dithering a year from now

Yep, 45×19mm but not heavy as Ti case and on a rubber strap.
Dithering is good, especially if it's over dropping a decent chunk of your hard earned on male jewellery. I've learned the hard way a couple of times before. If you're OK with chunky and don't mind looking at other brands outside of your current collection, then have a look at the Omega Ultra Deep. Stunning piece (especially in the Summer Blue version) but it's not for the shy and retiring...
Question/Help/Advice If Possible
I have a very old watch which for various reasons was very special to me but no longer works.
I've taken it in to a specialist watch maker who wanted to replace the movement and reported "not available" (but I think replacing movement is their standard practice as I took another slightly more recent watch I don't like so much in and they also "replace movement"). I assume "not available" means from their standard parts supplier(s).
I've sent it back to manufacturer (Tag Heuer) who initially thought they could get it working but then said "no parts" - again, probably means they no longer have the parts in their stock.
I've done online searches and there are a few places (EU & US) whose website says they have the Calibre movement in-stock, only minor difference is the date ring is a different colour, new one it white, watch one black - I assume a watchmaker could change the date rings over or not a massive issue.
Does anybody know of a reliable specialist repairer in the UK who might either be able to repair it either they source a replacement movement or I can buy one online and they just charge me for the labour.
Specialist place I used before I'd never use again as the other watch they did repair was a 200 m sealed watch and 3 days after getting it back the back fell off and ...
Many thanks

I've used this place before for a repair and they did a good job. Based in Central London.

They have TAG on the list of brands that they deal with.
