Lovely, thank you

Excellent, thank you. So it should be the 344?

My Monnin cased 980 stopped last night, I assumed time for a battery change. I thought I had some spares and had at some point made a note in my diary that it takes a Renata 344 (SR1136SW) but I was...

It always used to make me cringe when the watch was sat on something abrasive like a rock, or on the sand.
Likewise, any photo that includes feet or (even worse) toes. Yuck!

End of DIY day, so the trusty Seiko about to be changed...https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240503/a203838ed878a89b4a99609fa6469d84.jpg

Ok, I'll play. Potential for two more changes before tomorrow evening/tonight. TH Super Professional. Weighty on the wrist, monocoque case which feels hewn out of a meteorite but one of the best...

Griffith 500SE, but yes

Old photo, but it is very definitely still here. Went back to Frankfurt a couple of years ago for battery etc (took nearly 6 months!), but remains one of my favourites. I'm not letting it go, sorry...

Final trio? Believe it when I see it! But lovely and I'll stake my place in the queue if/when you sell any of them on (especially the UX, as likewise a fan of oil-filled watches).

Still chilly for spring, but the bluebells don't seem to mind. Tutima Di-300 today - nothing like the warmth of...

I have an Omega de Ville quartz date from the 1990s which I inherited. It has a 1337 module and it is almost impossible to find a replacement without butchering another watch as Omega no longer...

Sushi Samba, on the 39th floor of the Heron Tower. Japanese/Venezuelan fusion plus great cocktails and a view to boot. It's a fun place to go

I use a tube of concrete repair and mastic gun. Fill the hole then push in the rawl plug and leave it to set. Gives a very solid repair

Thought it looked wrong. That's a limited edition which came out in about 2011. Doh!

Sinn 144 St S Jubilee? Virtually identical. Jura advertise them for £1900 (not sure they've got that right)

I keep boxes and papers even for those that I know are keepers. When the time comes, I shall pass them on to my children as complete sets. Most of them don't know how to wind up and set a watch so...

For all you claustrophobia sufferers, we have an open/upright MRI machine in one of our London sites. It's quite impressive although nothing like as powerful as the one linked by the OP. There are a...

I tried its predecessor, the titanium version, at Heathrow when it was first released and was blown away. The most incredible watch I had ever worn. It has been a grail ever since. Supremely light...

Great! What they should have done with the previous model. I think my only gripes would be that I would have preferred manual wind rather than auto, and at the price of the last re-issue you might be...

Seems appropriate for a wet day at Suzuka. Gorgeous George, along with the RBR crew and Aston Martin didn't venture out of the garage for FP2. Come on, it was a slight drizzle! It was a fairly poor...

The only GMT anyone needs is a Casio G-Shock with world time, and that's the only watch I would travel with anyway (being gassed and robbed is a very sobering experience). Otherwise it's just another...

Only bananas look good in yellow. Watches and cars not so much.

Must admit that I really didn't check the prices too carefully as they were all 1,000,000 to 2,000,000 Yen! Casio's are about 10-15% cheaper than the UK and the Tissot PRX powermatic 80 worked out at...

£11 in an electronics discount store in Tokyo, where I also...

My son tells a similar tale, except that it was Monzo that closed the account and accused my son of scamming them!
