That is one great watch, I have the same model and they will probably bury me with it. :D On the topic of watches, well, it's not a real watch, but I treat myself with Garmin fenix 6 pro.

Dug this out of my sock draw. Had it since 1981 but not worn it since 83 ish. New battery fitted and been ticking fine for two weeks. Only problem is I've grown and it hasn't (30mm dial). Looks great on the good lady though.

Hard to believe back in the fifties and sixties 32mm 34mm were mens sizes for a wristwatch even the biggest of men with massive arms would wear these little watches :rofl:

Nice - I recently bought a Garmin Instinct Solar to 'inspire' me to get off my chuff more often and get some exercise, but all it's done is stop me from wearing my 'real' watches :x . I tried wearing one on each wrist (justifying that on one wrist was my watch, and on the other was a fitness tracker) but after a couple of people asked "why are you wearing two watches?" I stopped. I might just use it for activities but I suspect it may end up being a poorly thought out purchase :?

    It’s lovely :thumbsup:

    NOT that I would in anyway encourage you to spend money Steve, but……… it’s dropped another £60 today, add it too basket and it takes another £60 off. Stock dropping quite quickly :lol:

      That’s ok, very plausible excuse so you’re getting away with that then :D

      Even though I bought 2 in December, ones just arrived and the other will be Feb, possibly Mar, so I’m technically only buying one a month which should keep me out of trouble :wink:

        I added this Rze Valour a few weeks back.. I've been eyeing them for ages but the new price coupled with import fees as they are only available in the States put me off, when a barely worn used one came up on eBay I popped a cheeky offer in and it was accepted so became a bit of a bargain..it's getting a lot of wrist time at the moment

        That is nice, I like the face and colours :thumbsup:

        I’ve seen a few of these I like too but as you say import fees etc make a bargain less so by the time everything is in.

        The last two have been bought new but there’s nothing wrong with a cheeky eBay bid. I’ve sent a seller a few questions about one today and if the response is positive a cheeky wee offer may well be going in later. My man maths/logic there is if the other one ordered at Xmas doesn’t arrive until March that could be Februarys purchase :rofl:
