Here's a photo of one my all time favourite watches and probably the last watch in my extensive collection that I would part with, and it's .................QUARTZ. I purchased it new back in 1984, from H. Samuel in Chester for the sum of £200. I saw it on the first day of my holiday, and thought if it was still there on the last day and I had enough money left, I was buying it. The watch has run every day since, except during battery changes, which I have always changed before it ran out. It still keeps as close to perfect time as makes no difference, and has never been serviced! The watch is totally original and there are still remnants of the original polythene on the back of the case. What is it? It's a Seiko Quartz 1/10th second Chronograph fitted with a 7a38 movement and is the World's First Analogue Quartz Chronograph with day and date. The watch was made in October 1983.

I thought you gents would appreciate this new-to-me RR. An E.Howard series 11 Chronometer.

Finally ! Put the thin blade in and went around d until it popped!

if you try pulling the crown out to either the date setting position or the next click to the time setting position then press either of the chrono buttons and with luck you will be able to move the counter hand to the zero position

I was given a bottle of Lagavulin for my retirement and have to advise that I gave it to that friend I mentioned in an earlier posting. As I told my good lady vick is essential when rubbing the chest at night and my services are always available. As for the whisky I have tried but my pair won't grow any bigger so I will try to limp along with some common blended stuff that I think I can manage - Irishcain may like it as well :cool: When my son said he had got me a Yamazaki I thought I was getting a bike. Having said all that I found bottles of Ardberg, Bowmore and Tobermory at the back of the whisky cupboard so I will soldier on - but I still prefer the Highlands.
