It's a great watch for the money. I've had this about 7 years now and only adjust the time when the clocks change. The strap is a bit manky but can be washed under the tap with the rest of the watch. I have a OM replacement strap for it but holding off fitting it till the other one is completely shagged as the replacement costs about £70/80! The new ones don't have the Royal Marine motif on the dial, which some didn't like, but didn't bother me. I like the blue ones now but can't see this one needing to be replaced...

Listed as 41mm but wears smaller, more like a 36mm, due to short lugs and small dial.

Wasn't sure about the dial when I first bought as I preferred the baton markers but couldn't find the one I wanted. Was planning to swap the dial over (which you could do back then) but never did as it grew on me the longer I had it.

I subscribed to NG for a few years in the 1980s and I loved the Rolex ads in them. It led to me buying my OP in 1989 and spawning my love of watches.

Anybody else set the "wrong" time on their watches?

I usually wear a watch in my rotation for a week or so before changing it. If it gains say 10 seconds a day, I'll set it 30/45 seconds slow so that by...
