You'd need to ask a child to tell the time for you.

I have a couple of RW watches already as I have a bit of a soft spot for them, but I really do like both of these. Not available 'til October, but I reckon if I ask for money rather than record tokens for my birthday in September, I might have a cheeky purchase.

I like the blue one.

But then black is classic.

But then I like the contrast of the blue....

Bloody hell these are light. (Mind you, I'm accustomed to heavy metal watches on metal bracelets)

Face and movement are nice, strap is idiotic.

I get that the strap is the type used on the landings themselves, but that doesn't mean they're actually that nice to wear. I keep catching the end on my shirt and the loop-back is on the inside of your wrist so its bulk is more noticeable than it should be.

Plenty of alternatives though. :D

I've got the even more stupid "double wrist lap" strap for my Speedy :D

Upside, I could wear it around the outside of a spacesuit. Downside, it's kin massive.

Flicking through the Jet2's finest inflight literature on my trip home this afternoon I spotted a watch I quite liked in the on flight duty free section.

£102.

I thought, fuck it. Ask the flight attendant if I could have a look. Decided Id have it, only to find out they were 30% off. £71 result!

It's no Omega, but I like it.

It's one of these.

There were also doing three single litre bottles of JD for £46. I'm drinking some right now.

Wore one daily for 10 years +, now it sits on a shelf sipping daylight and still tells the correct time (give or take an hour as I CBA to alter it)

I met a friend for a few beers a couple of evenings ago, he's partial to an expensive timepiece and turned up wearing £18k worth of comedy Breitling. It was the diamond thing in the pic but with a white face. He said it puts a smile on his face when he wears it, it does have a certain amusment value to it.
