Much obliged

All of the above is exceptionally helpful and I thank each and every one of you for sharing your knowledge and suggestions.

I'll find out whether it started out life on the mesh or (as I suspect)...

Can anybody recall the original strap that would been on one of these from new?

A friend of mine has one and would like to get it back to original, which I'm fairly sure the expando-crap bracelet...

Tommy Cooper joke?...

I got the green model of eBay direct from singapore for about £38.00 inc delivery (it took about 3-4 weeks to arrive).

They are great little military looking watches, exhibition caseback and very...

Not at all David, this is not at all in the same vein as one particular self promoting thread recently posted in WT regarding a watch for sale (that particular sales campaign for a Marathon backfired...

Congrats, enjoy it Yoda. ;)

Don't worry, it's not going to the taxman. The taxman is just the custodian.......... it's actually going to support workshy lay-abouts ;)

There, that made you feel better didn't it!

Though it saddens me to admit this - at the weekend and in the comfort of my own home I do frequently where one on each arm.......... at the same time.

That 'thing' looks like a bad idea and a nightmare got married and had a really ugly baby.

Oh what a tangled web we weave,
When first we practise to deceive!

I know that isn't particularly helpful but so true nonetheless.

I just joined the club! Resizing my BM, spent 10 minutes on the floor searching for a collar that was neatly impaled on the pusher........and then found this thread :)
