So I'm going with my Citizen Promaster Tough. A 300 metre water resistant titanium case combined with a solar powered Eco-Drive movement hopefully provides a chance the watch will still be functioning, once my application to pass the Pearly Gates has been rejected by St. Peter.

This article is riddled with inaccuracies.

Overseas visitors to the UK can still continue get their 20% VAT refund, providing their watch (and other purchases) is shipped, unworn or unused, by the store directly to the customer’s home in their country of residence. The VAT is removed at the point of purchase.

And Switzerland is not a member of the European Union.

commented on Worth its weight in gold? 👑💰💸 ·

If you believe the profit margine on gold watches is excessive, you'll be shocked on how much watch companies mark-up stainless steel!

I've been blessed with good eyesight, but even I would need a magnifying glass to comprehend what's on that dial.

This is a mess.

I've had to go with AnOrdain on this one. Their enamel dial work is unmatched.
