Far easier to read a 30 minute subdial. And realistically if it reads, say, 5 minutes then you should know if that means 5 or 35 minutes!

I don't like the idea of bank transfer, but what if you don't know the seller but they agree to send a PayPal request for payment, describing what you are buying?

In theory that gives them the...

Have a look at the Marathon Navigator, it's nothing like a diver's watch and feather light. After a dive watch you'll keep checking your wrist to see that it's still there.

It does have a...

Marathon Navigator worth a look. Genuine military issue watch; the civilian market version allegedly identical except for a couple of dial markings (and carries NSN). Feather light. Very nice...

On accuracy: I can wear mine all week and it is within 10-15 seconds at the end.

I also have a Sumo and one of the new Baby Tuna (aka shrouded monster) and they are nearly as accurate.

I have handled both the gold and the "plain" silver/white versions (not pepsi). I would not criticize the gold, but I don't think it is quite as nice as it looks in photos; and the plain one is...

That last bit was a joke BTW in case anyone is suffering from a sensitive referendum.

No it is simply incorrect to do as you suggest.

An increase from 20% to 22% is a 10% increase (or a 2 point increase if you want to refer to the absolute difference).

If the government put...

Seriously (aside from the point made above that I should have stated the 100 EUR was ex-VAT in my example) what do you think is wrong?

20 × 0.95 = 19

Ah yes, I got it the wrong way round.

But if you'll permit me a pedantic point, it is 5% lower.

On a 100 EUR purchase our VAT is 20 EUR and German VAT is 19 EUR. 19 is 5% less than 20.

Importing from the EU could (without a trade deal) in future mean paying UK VAT.

But at the moment you pay VAT anyway - in the seller's country. (That's why prices are lower for non-EU...

Lots of information at http://dutycalculator.com/

But I'm pretty sure it will just tell you 20 per cent VAT.

I totally agree, they are on a different planet.

Where you may be mistaken is in thinking that the rest of us are on your planet; we're actually over on theirs. Third from the sun, mostly...

I'll go for one (or if available, possibly a couple).

Seiko and Pulsar offer 100m WR without screw down crowns, as on the PJN305 for example.

It's probably not safe to conclude that yours shouldn't have a screw down crown, on the basis that the...

I have a PJN305, and it doesn't have a screw down crown. It also looks very similar to your photograph (though a slight change in angle can make a big difference to how it looks). The crown is...
