In a word - 'brilliant'

Went to a midnight showing and had a thoroughly enjoyable 2 hours and 10 minutes.

The only criticism I'd have is the pace - which I thought was a bit frenetic, as they...

Can't go too far wrong with a Cross and refills are readily available in a variety of colours and widths.

What about this one -...

has he not watched The Right Stuff! and what happened to Gus Grissom who brought stuff up just to fly it in space :unconscious:

Shawshank is undoubtedly a great film, but how 're-watchable' is it?

For rewatchability, I'd say......

Zulu

Where Eagles Dare

The Great Escape

I think it could, ultimately, end up being filed along side Homeland and Blacklist - as a concept that is good for one, maybe two very good series but beyond that it just becomes more and ridiculous.

Best to keep it in your pocket.........your watch too!

BBC, various newspapers and a crowd called 'storyful' on Twitter

so far so good - touch of the Jason Bournes about it but still a good watch.

I'd have Elementary on my list.

I'm not sure of the exact movement, other than its a Valjoux - maybe a 7765?

My brother is the watchmaker I might get him to pop the back and find out

They were just a few shot with the iPhone as soon as I got my sticky mitts on it.

I'll get the better camera out and click off a few showing the case and show it on my wrist - it's a chunky...

4 bezels.

Outer bezel is manually turned. The one inside that (the silver one is fixed). Those two operate as a slide rule.

The inner black bezel (with the cities) is manipulated with the upper...

Took a bit of a punt on this one as I couldn't really find out much information on the Tempic brand in it's 1970s / 80s iteration. There's plenty on it post its resurrection.

Delighted I did. The...
