The truly powerful control time and do not need a watch. A watch is a sign of slavery.
HTH.

I have just bought an RLT5.
(Reasonable price but can't be bought on the high st.).
I've just spoken to the watchmaker, he's making it to my specification.
Nice.

Do not, do not spend 500 notes on a quartz watch. It'll be no better than a 50 quid watch.
Buy a proper watch, i.e. an automatic with a high beat movement so the secondhand appears to sweep. Get a refurbished one secondhand if the new prices are too much for you.But I discovered nothing else but depraved, excessive superstition. Pliny the youngerComment

Don't fret, Gibbon, the RLT5's spec is 'Movement : 25 Jewel Automatic Wind ETA 2824-2 with quick set date.'
It is indeed high beat.Last edited by cojak; 6 August 2007, 08:58."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

Expensive watch=increased kudos... false!
I remember seeing "Mind Your Ps and Qs" on Beeb 2 with Tony Slattery years back. In one episode, uber snob Jonathan Meades was genuinely horrified to learn that his Rolex was a fake! So, if a snobby arse like him couldn't tell the difference, why bother with the real deal? Buy a nice cheapish digital that looks good. For a relatively small sum, you can get watches that synch with one of those atomic clock jobbies. So, more accurate than a Rolex.
I always lose watches, and, having once lost a ridiculously expensive Rado (limited edition, etc.), I have learned the lesson. Must run in the family, though. My brother lost an Omega limited edition "First Man on the Moon" watch years back. Worth a mint!Comment

Bingo Sysman!
I even put a post asking for help.
I've bought the white one.
Roy (the watchmaker) is a very nice man with excellent customer service.
(re. tingle: I suspect it's a man thang...
)

And it's not expensive - very reasonable, in fact for what it is..."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

Accuracy
If you want accuracy then you can get one of those Casio radio watches for around £100 that reset to the correct time by radio signal every evening.
Or you can by a Breitling for 2K that never needs adjusting between services....my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...
