Ha!
Yeh, got the online thing from DVSA, did about 100 of the hazard identification vids yesterday.
I was failing the first lot constantly due to early noticing (I am an advanced driver with the...

As an update, had car off the road for a little bit, so I just re-insured with Admiral yesterday and it was £830-ish, with zero NCB as is used elsewhere.
Not cheap, but half of my renewal!!

Well, I have my theory booked for Monday, CBT on Wednesday and just had a CB125R delivered from Honda.

Grand plan is re-skill myself on the road and with the gears (used to commute on a 125...

Shout (other fabric cleaners are available) on a toothbrush and worked through the strap lightly with a soft toothbrush, will work wonders

The Horl2 is amazing.
My pocket knives are now shaving sharp, and my kitchen knives have been rescued from borderline letter-opener sharpness to really-quickly-finger-chopped-off sharp.

It is...

After a few years(!) searching - I finally found the GS rubber dive strap of legend.
Made mostly of unobtainium, plus some silicon rubber, with the same brushed and polished Ti clasp as the watch...

Yeh!! Looks ace in Orange
I was just looking at mod kits for my 5610, to go from its slightly battered resin format now, to full metal or titanium even.
Bit of a minefield though.

This monstrosity. A Raleigh Amber.
Believe me, as an 8yr old boy on the mean streets of Edgeley in late 1980’s, this was like living the boy named Sue song.

Green light means safe to proceed if clear to do so.
So many folks forget this and just whizz through a junction when they see it change to green.
So many also cut the red/amber and even red.

It is as durable as any other watch. Titanium is not butter!
You won’t wear it out and have a hole in the case or a lug drop off in your lifetime.

Look at the state of that SDc 116600 on SC now....

A trouser-matching NATO from… I forget. One of the American suppliers. The Watch Steward or something.
Lovely quality, but NOT the perfect combo.
To be honest, I am really after the perfect rubber...

Just an update on this little thread - Mrs watch has just failed again.
Watch winds manually and rotor goes round, but watch does not go.

Back to AMJ again tomorrow.
If I could get rid, I...

I have used Tempus a few times and he was excellent.
Heard same of Olli from here too - am sure he repaired a well-dead old seiko diver of mine once
