"So what do ya say?
You can't give
Me the dreams that
Are mine anyway.
You're half the world away,
Half the world away.
Half the world away,
I been lost
I been found
But I don't
Feel down,
No I don't feel
Down"
72 Timex (my latest charity shop find. £2). It's about 10 mins slow a day but I don't care. Got a Vostok on the other wrist to know what the real time is

What the devil do Russian cows eat? I've got a new strap enroute
Remember when I posted that wrist shot of my 'new' '72 model womens Timex? Yeah it's f*cked. I just picked it up, tried to wind it up. The crown gave...
Obviously it's a Seiko so corners will be cut, but we all know you don't buy a seiko in this day and age because it's a spec monster. Overall, are you happy with what you got for the price you paid?
My Sekonda died earlier. Boo! But then I went into another charity shop and found this! Yay! Its great and works, but what the heck is it? @chronotrig...

I'm in. Don't have a huge selection of straps though so I may need to go shopping on 03/09

I love the Omega name, solely because of the story behind it. I'm sure 99.99999% of us know the story, but if someone here doesn't here it is
Omega wasn't always called Omega. From its inception in 1848 through to the 1890s the brand was called something different (its name currently escapes me so I'm sure someone will reply with the proper name) but then they came out with a new pocket watch that they called the Omega. Reason being is that Omega is the last letter in the Greek alphabet  so it means "last" or "end". This pocket watch was the pinnacle of watchmaking and so the end of watchmaking, as noone could make a better watch.
Scoobycommented onFunny watch stories from my everyday life that are most certainly not factual·
Worst one I've personally seen I'd Pagrne Design. Who came up with that?!
I'm sure if you dig deep though you'll find proper stupid ones like Bolex or summat
Scoobycommented onThis is my late Father In Law's Lanco, the family story is that he bought it himself in the late 40's and had to sell a pig to afford it. We don't know much about this brand or its age but it's a lovely thing.·
You are definitely ill. Why don't you daydream normal things, like how you would reestablish the British empire using the Democratic Republic of the Congo as a jumping off point or taking over medieval Europe with nothing more than an M1911 handgun and zippo lighter?
