Hi guys,
Been a long time lurker on this forum but I thought it was about time to bite the bullet and join the fray as you generally all seem like a decent bunch of chaps. The main reason I decided to join and add some input was a recent thread concerning watch production or rather watch manufacture and the lack thereof in the U.K. I'll try to keep this brief as its only an introduction really and I'll post on this later but I'm a 4th generation engineer, currently working in an extremely high precision industry and for the life of me I can't see the reason why there shouldn't be a manufacturer.
Less of that for now, don't be mislead by my user name as I don't have a Daytona of the watch variety of any description unfortunately but did once have a Triumph Daytona 955i. I currently have a couple of Seiko monsters one black and one orange and my daily beater is an old model Tissot Seastar 660 which has been exceptional in terms of time keeping, reliability, comfort and robustness and my watches don't have an easy life!
Anyway thanks for looking at my intro and I look forward to some lively debate with like minded and well informed watch addicts.
Dave
