Laser beam or crappy LCD? 1980s commercial.

I wonder how many of these "amazing" watches still exist? https://youtu.be/Py6PDMMF8ck?si=2KukVK_E5wJOGjiF

To be honest, I always feel that a skeleton watch looks a bit cheap. I think it's because I've seen so many cheapo Chinese ones on AliExpress for £20. I love Christopher Ward but this one isn't for me.

I've genuinely loved my Marloe Solent Timer this year.

I've got a six watch travel case, just so I don't have to choose too much

I've decided change the strap since that picture, I didn't like it on the original brown strap but I liked the rally style. It's now on a black rally with orange stitching. I'm well pleased.

Thanks for that. I may have a go then. I have most of the tools I need and the price of a new PT5000 isnt a killer if it fails.

commented on SOTC and the plans for 2024 ·

Nice collection. For me it takes a couple of months then I realise that I've hardly ever worn a certain watch so it wasn't a good buy, then off to a new home it goes.

commented on Am I the only enthusiast on this planet that has absolutely ZERO interest in GMT watches? ·

I'm not bothered either way - if you like GMTs then enjoy.. The question could be: 'I'm not bothered about watches, if I want to know the time, I'll look at my phone' it's missing the point.
