My 2015 Omega SMP ceramic has a better build quality than any Rolex I have owned. I could not replace it with anything as good for what I'd get for it.
NATO straps cheapen every watch they are used...

This Certina (DS action diver 43mm powermatic 80 titanium) is looking favourite right now, although even with the best discount it's still £722.

The Certina DS Action diver Ti )Powermatic 80) looks perfect but sadly over budget 😢

Ah ok, that’s interesting and it looks a decent bracelet to.
Where can I find any info or pics on the Ms24?
Also do you know the difference between the MS23/24 and the standard Diver 1 D1-500...

These look decent, but don't they have a bracelet option? That's a firm requirement on this one?

Sorry, I think I’m confusing it with something else.

I think she/he wants it on a bracelet as he already has strap ‘beaters’.

Good point, although it's not essential anyway so I'm not overly worried.
I don't think she necessarily wants something 'tactical' so to speak, it's just that he's very much the 'action man' type,...

I do agree TBH, perhaps I can convince her to show him links to the eventual 'shortlist' and see what he thinks. Minus price tags of course!

I may put a WTB on here as well, you never know.

Some great suggestions, the Steinhart 500 is particularly nice and looks great bang for buck.
The CWC is great, but there's something about the bracelet fitting onto the head that just doesn't gel...

My daughter is looking to buy her husband a decent watch to commemorate him leaving the army.
He is a WO1, a sergeant major basically.
I'm out of touch with boutique or mid range watches so hope...

1/ Watches should always be worn on the left wrist and winders should always be on the right side of the watch.
People who don't comply are just being awkward and trying to be different, and...

I'd suggest that with 2 kids, your injectors are just fine.

She was friends with the drummers wife in a rock band I joined as a singer.
Been married over 25 year's now.
Started out as a groupie and ended up as my manager in life!

A sad 'Dayo' indeed.
He had a good innings though, bless him.

I have a sample of this but just can't get on with it.
It smells really bitter, sour and rank on my skin. Like rotting seaweed. I can't even finish the sample.
Just goes to show that body chemistry...

Ah, my bad.
Just checked and it's the women's 'Pour Femme' bottle on eBay for £99.
Should've read it properly.

Interesting, thanks.
It’s on eBay and a few places online for around £99.
Can’t vouch for authenticity though and £100 is too much for a blind buy even if it were genuine.

Curious how that smells?
i.e. Is it fresh and kind of 'old school' or sweet and modern?

+1 This was a cracking book. I read the omnibus edition (Peace & War) well worth a go.

Hmmm, not sure about that but I do have lots of those ‘pearls’ of wisdom :smile-new:
Mind you you know what pearls are don’t you? And I’m certainly full of it.

Well you know what they say, 'a whale only gets harpooned when it spouts' :eagerness:

Neil, Neil,.......well you know.....

Actually........

My Parnis is too big and heavy, it makes my wrist ache.

Thanks, yes and so did I…twice.
Big regret flipping it but I was a serial flipper back then.
