That's a shame, I also like the first two Deadpool films. But a film doesn't have to be bad for me to doze off - I always fall asleep at some point, always have, much to my annoyance and my kids' embarrassment, no matter how good the film is.Quote:

Think the brown strap looks better but they’re both wrong on a diver’s Watch anyway.

Seeing the advert, makes me ask how do you set the time on your watch?
Use my phone.Quote:

I don't understand what you mean "I use my phone". How do you move the hands on the watch - it doesn't look to have a 'winder' knob.
Thought you meant where do I source the correct time.Quote:

Quite like that one. :)
Wouldn't have thought it was your style Roy. It's the sort of watch my father might have worn.
A prized part of my German collection Barry. Whilst Luftwaffe pilots and navigators got Laco Fleigers the officers got Hanharts, albeit chronograph models.Quote:

I like that one Roy, though IMHO it would look better with a leather strap.
It came with both actually and it does look less gauche on the black leather [emoji846]Quote:

I have my Grandfather's Timex in a box somewhere - he died in 1978, and it looks almost identical to that one! Very classy.
Lot of love for the little Timex, nice [emoji4]
Seiko day today

Another Seiko
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a5caf31dd7.jpg
My first watch was a Timex, given to me aged about 8 years.
My next watch was a Rolex. From 'Timex to Rolex' has a nice ring to it. :lol:
I still have the Seiko watch that my parents gave to me in 1983 for my 21st.
Brought up in a working class family, the £35 that it cost then was a fortune.
I wore it most days until after 30 yrs it packed in and a clockmaker-skilled neighbour put a new mechanism in it.
That modern mech has failed after 10 years. Foolishly, I bought a mech and took the hands off, but was unable to rebuild it. D'Oh :doh:
Any recommendations where to send it as my neighbour has stopped repairs as he's 20 years past retirement!!
Much appreciated.
You could ask your local branch of Timpsons if they can recommend a watch repairer. Or if the new mechanism was another Seiko movement, then try a jeweler who sells Seiko watches.
Will give it a go...Quote:

Quite like that one Roy. I think it is the shape of the case I find attractive, as well as the relatively unfussy dial.Quote:

Now that one is better, much better. Clear, unfussy facia, with discrete date window. Well done!Quote:

I like that one, especially with the German spelling. 'Automatik.'
You’d have all my watches on black leather straps!Quote:

Not true - diver's watches and all Rolex watches look better with a metal watch bracelet.Quote:
