More realistic than unicorns, at any rate. And with the added bonus of a nautical connection. We might even see dials with “feet”, “metres” and “narwhals” to show how waterproof a watch is!

I’m very tempted too, I really like the bullhead style, although I guess, strictly speaking, with only a single “pusher”/crown, it should perhaps be described as a “unicornhead”.
I can appreciate that as a timepiece, but it’s not for me. I don’t think I’d go for a chronograph, the less “clutter”, the better (I know I said I like the Tin Tin spe day, but I wouldn’t have one of...
I do really like some of the Bremont watches, particularly the Martin Baker - BUT, the propeller logo puts me off. I know it’s part of the Bremomt “look”, but it’s the one thing that puts me off...
£5,000 is the maximum I’d want to spend. Certainly, one of my favourites (the Sinn 857 or 856 UTC are considerably less than that and as you rightly say, that would leave a nice chunk of cash for a...
Something like that is a definite possibility. I’ve always like the JLC brand, but my initial thought when someone mentions JLC is always the Reverso - which I wouldn’t be averse to either.
A little bit of everything, but nothing too exotic.
My most “valuable” watch (to me, it’s sentimental value rather than monetary value) is my late Dad’s 1956 Omega Seamaster.
I’ve a couple of...
Another option, definitely. Although I have to say I prefer the NOS Watchco ones if I’m honest.

I do like the Mark XVIII (and the previous iterations), in fact I prefer them to the Pilot watches.
The 2254 is a very good shout, to me, it just looks “right” and the proportions are spot on, I...
First, the TL;DR version:
I’ve got a “biggish” birthday in a few months (less than 6) and fancy treating myself to a nice watch, up to a maximum of about £5,000, so I’m looking for some...
Possibly, although I seem to think it was something trauma related. For some reason I have it in my head he fell from a ladder while doing some decorating. Obviously the bone might have been weakened...
One of my fellow patients had a prosthetic femur put in (think he had his done in Birmingham) after they found cancer in it after he broke it. He was lucky, because without that break, the cancer...
Like I say, I’m still a bit conflicted! I’m also a hypocrite, because I don’t eat anything like a healthy diet and I drink too much booze. A healthier lifestyle would no doubt cost the NHS less in...
I was initially in hospital at Preston, who were excellent. The injury was so bad, they would never have been able to fix me. I just wish I’d pushed harder and sooner for the referral to Broadgreen....
Thanks very much, as I’ve said, the good wishes really do help.
The whole experience has also been a bit of an eye opener for me. I’ve had to resort to using a wheelchair more recently. I’ve never...
Just seen the pm notification pop up, but not read the message yet. Once I’ve replied to the questions here, I’ll be sure to have a look. I’m slightly intrigued now!
Yes, I set off the detectors in airports! I also set them off at court, where they use similar scanners!
I went to Oslo with my girlfriend back in February to see a-ha in concert (they were...
Cheers! I’m going to try and avoid any injuries if I possibly can. Although I’m not so sure getting another bike, once I’m repaired, will be the most logical decision...
I’m actually itching to...
Cheers Jon, I really appreciate the good wishes.
You’d be surprised to know what a boost it is hearing from unknown, random people on the internet. I think it shows the inherent, generally “good”,...
Ow! Now that looks like a massive ball acher! Luckily, all my breaks were “just” bones and none of the joints themselves were damaged. The fracture to my wrist was a stable hairline fracture of the...
I’m not sure whereabouts you are based, but I’m having my reconstruction surgery done at Broadgreen Hospital in Liverpool. It’s a bit of a trek, but they’re the regional centre of excellence for limb...
Fair point - some of the set specific pieces are VERY specific, which I think actually takes away some of the creativity. I do like the modular buildings though, they usually have a few “hidden”...
I know! Not allowed beer at the moment, due to some fairly hefty pain relief meds.
The Lego is actually awesome though! Well, I think so. Some of the bigger kits aren’t cheap, either. £300 for the...
It works! May as well go crazy with an X-ray or two then...
