Laser beam or crappy LCD? 1980s commercial.

I seem to remember he said "I am the Alpha and the Omega" Maybe he was leaving hints that he wanted a Speedmaster off his mum for Christmas.

Beautiful watch. Being from Liverpool, my dad collected Russells. We sold his collection at auction last year. I still have a Russell carriage clock and his favourite watch that I wear at Christmas.

Yep. Pink snake skin get my vote.

Yes. Very distinctive

Thanks mate - I just noticed there is still blood on the back of the watch in the photo. I'd never be any good cleaning up after a crime.

I was just going to suggest vintage myself. The other thing to consider is design, some watches at 42mm look ridiculous on my 6 1/2 inch wrist yet well designed ones like the speedmaster look absolutely fine. I reckon you might get away with a 40mm with a short lug to lug.

I still feel that the price isn't too bad. The one I've gone for is £399 on the silicon strap. A tad more on steel.
