You have a problem, but it's a very very good sort of problem.

That is very cool! I used to have a HMS Hermes zippo back when I had a collection. Wish I still had it seeing that, would have sent it to you.
Please update with pics when it's fitted.
In My Chair - Status Quo
Not a bad analogy.
Fully agree, definitely a winner, and apparently so for the farming community aswell.
Some of it is staged, the buying of the Lamborghini tractor being an obvious example, but overall he is...
This ones worth a few quid. Apologies, I may have posted this before.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240421/c6c59fe709df55841d084ba6284444cc.jpg
It was a joke relating to the red light jumping thread Ian.
There a few if any 20 zones outside built up areas, seems to be a myth in certain parts of the press that Wales has a 20 limit everywhere....
You can always speed on the pavement if you prefer Ian ;)
I do live in Wales and I don't oppose the limits. However, there is quite a bit of tweaking required, some roads that could do with being 20mph are still 30, and many more the other way around.
This...
Brill, can't wait.

That's incredible considering some of these watches can land on your doorstep for less than £40 including delivery and vat! Guess Chinese labour rates help with that though.
Total crapshoot with Seiko's P. My Alpinist is about 5 seconds a day slow but that's a higher grade movement than a nh35 and a £2700 (rrp) watch. I've had Steeldive (£60-70), Pagani (£40-60), and...
I haven't owned a San Martin but have owned several nh35 powered Chinese watches (from companies half or even a third of the price of San Martin) and the timekeeping on all of them has been within a...
Backless driving gloves? ;)
You are mischievous P.
A bit like houses I suppose Dave, rises and falls but overall upwards.
The service required on the Rolex if you want to get your money back will be a number of times the cost of the San Martin but I...
No, I know you're not Dave, and I'm not suggesting you are. Low cost yes (at least in the rarefied world of TZ), almost free certainly not unless they continue to rise.
Good bit of man maths there Dave, but my ISA 'currently' pays 4.8% (of course, like the Rolex that can go down as well as up, and more likely than the Rolex probably will go down). So thats £480 the...
And that's not including servicing costs.
True, and if it were rolex would be broke.
And I agree with that Dave. I'll go further and say that San Martin probably employs more people per watch than Rolex on the production lines.
True Dave, but only a small contributing factor. It doesn't make £9900 difference on a mass produced watch.
And that's what matters, nice to feel comfortable with what you have.
Yes very much so.
