I second that! :D
Some time ago I've read that watches are the third most important export items in Swiss economy.
Since that I try to find out number 1 and 2 export items.
Chocolate? Cheese?...

What a mistake to make.
Fascinating. I thought I was pretty intolerant but I appear to be a libertarian leftie.

Clearly a matter of taste - although I find the Seiko monsters admirable, rather than lovable, black I haven't developed any positive feelings for yet, so despite the qualification I'd wear the...
Well said Walter.

Fair's fair, there's nothing wrong with Banks.
Their bitter is very moreish, and Banks Original Mild is jolly good too.

Congratulations Smelly. :) The monsters take some beating (pun intended).
Your experience doesn't say much for high street "jewellers" but unfortunately reflects my experience too. I wouldn't...
I had one of these from PMWC for my son and very good it is too - cracking integrated bracelet and the 7s36. As good in value as the grey OM/BM at a similar price.
Nice to hear from you Ewan -...
Seiko's Hardlex, which is used in the OM and BM, is just mineral glass, NOT Sapphire.

Did I miss something - I heard HHGTTG "Tertiary Phase" tonight (Tuesday) on R4 at 6.30.
I expected a repeat of the first and second parts that comprised the original radio productions. Tonight's...

Looks good to me. Any more where that cme from :D

I'm pretty sure it is - I think those masts are Pole Moor transmitters IIRC but whatever they are they confirm the location for me.
John.
:) that was the look I wanted...all that activity in the middle of nowhere.
There are flights that run by in both directions...would've like to have caught some trails in it too.[/quote]

Right with you on that one. I couldn't live with the top one especially for that reason. Neither do I like too-long hour hands that cover the numbers/batons.
John.
I agree. With a bit more evolution that one on the left could turn into a PRS-1 :D
John.
Will they have hands?
Will you be able to wind them up?
Do you have to wear lead underpants?
I don't think he's thought this through properly :?
John.
Very nice, very pure. This is one where you really wouldn't want extraneous words and pictures on the dial. Congratulations.

that part is definitely true...... the same happens when a watch gets magnetized....... due to the magneting forces the amplitude can be reduced dramatically thus speeding up a movement in that...
