    Bought one of these 5 or 6 years ago for being on time when making hospital visits (the ward staff got a bit tulipty if you were outside visiting tiimes),



    Clean, uncluttered and above all, cheap. But haven't worn it since.

    Do you have to charge it up with a torch?

    I'm tempted by a D9, but can't really justify it for the <2 dives I do a year.

    *My first nightdive was one of the most enjoyably-scary sensations ever. You know it's safe but it's akin to the first time you stand on the glass floor in the CN tower and look down.

    So much for quartz & silicon.

    Me: Rolex Datejust with salmon tinted dial / diamond indices / diamond cut bezel / jubilee bracelet.

    Missus: Rolex Datejust with blue dial / plain bezel / jubilee bracelet.

    Bought mine for £3.5k in 2002 but the same watch now retails for £6k, missus paid £1.8k in 2000 and they retail for £2.5k now.

    However, this Casio has to be the weapon of choice for any contractor wanting to make his mark: BBC News - Casio F-91W: The strangely ubiquitous watch

    One flash of that and you'll be taking waterboarding lessons.

    In that logic, everyone would buy a 2nd-hand Ford Focus and their clothes at Asda, because it is perfectly adequate.
