Our Man In India...And how we've been wrong about the Hamilton Pan Europ.

Now browsing across the 500plus channels of rubbish I came across this program on Amazon 'Our man in India' starring James May. Now I like program's on India, its on the bucket list of 'to do' (as well as skiing, the wife has a different veiw on my bucket lists, especially skiing and places with food and animals that can kill you, but I might suprise her). Now who is James May I hear you ask, well he's a British TV celebrity who made his name along with 2 others on a program called Top Gear which was about 3 middle aged blokes dicking about in fast cars. Unfortunately it came to an end when the chief protagonist Clarkson voted brexit and hit someone, and the other one, a little fella crashed yet another car and nearly died. So that was it for the BBC they pulled the plug and they all went their separate ways. Now the chief protagonist went to work on a farm, the little one went on a desert island and also made program's on big stuff (everything's big to him as he's only 2ft 6 1/4) and our man May went on to make cooking programs and travel shows where they send English men of a certain age to far flung places and plenty of awkwardness ensures.

So what's this got to do with our little niche, well this...

The Hamilton Pan-Europ, now a bit of information here, this watch has ONLY 50M OF WATER RESISTANCE, yes that's right only 50m, and as every reviewer and watch expert on the web told us its that fragile and delicate god help you if you even take it out of the box.

Well James May aka the watch destroyer took one these 3000miles across India, had it out in the rain

Did a cook off wearing it

Which he should have won to be honest (was doing great till he dropped it😅)

Went shopping with it, acted with it on, raced rickshaws, crossed the road in it (and Indian roads are officially the most dangerous on the planet, fact), sweated with it (westerners do that in India) got roasted in a comedy club and even shared the same room as a baby 👶 a very special baby in fact, the baby that's made India the most populace country on earth, and we all know what babies are like, ISO rated means nothing to what liquids babies make (I'm sure the Chinese will address this, Pagani design is gearing up as we speak with thousands of facsimiles((copies)) er...hommages of babies))), tea drinking and even on a BEACH (see title photo, oh go on then another one just to prove it

(65" LG OLED65C16LA, seikophiles love their numbers🤤)

So this inspired me to break mine out of its hermetically sealed vault, if May can take his 3000miles across the most populace country on earth, what can I do with mine...

Well as its Sunday and it's my official 'meat day' doing midweek meat n dairy free (did try dry January on Wednesday, oh the horror 😱) I've put it to the test...

Prepped dinner,turned up.the heat, drunk tea (the wines for pm before you ask) even washed up

With it in the same room (hell I don't even get my seiko samurai's near that amount of wet, come on).

So there you are, no being a safe queen for this baby, a true GADA to take you on any JOURNEY a watch to take everything the world throws at it, and just goes to prove 50m of WR is ample for 99.9999% of human kind (the other 0.0001% shouldn't be wearing a watch anyway).

After all that stress (it was) and activity, time for a chill (it's PM now)

Enjoy your day, cheers🤗

Footnote...

Even mixed the Yorkshire pudding batter with it on (still hold to the opinion that no watch should be around babies though, as there's batter snd then there's 'baby batter')
