Thanks Roy, packaged to survive a nuclear war and even nicer in the flesh than the photos.
While I’m at it, here’s my Dreyfuss & Co skeleton that my wife bought me 13 years ago for my 40th. You can see there’s a similarity in style, probably why I liked the Courgette. :D

You're welcome Alex, glad you're pleased with it.Quote:

It's actually acrylic so the scratches could be polished out but it's not a watch I'd wear, just a mathom from the time closet.Quote:

Outside in the sunshine a 'cheapy' with a very noisy rotor

slightly Better pic of the top time photo doesn’t do it justice neither does my photography skills, it wears very well and fits nicely under the cuff of a long sleeve shirtQuote:

It's this model, I paid about a third of this with box and papers and judging by the wear on the strap it's hardly been worn.Quote:

Here are my 2 iWatches. The left one, 4 - smashed for a second time. The right one, 6 - still active:)

Did the first one get smashed because it kept telling you to stand up? Was why I gave my apple watch away.Quote:

Can wear it instead of the sub if venturing into areas where the natives aren't too friendly (that's most of Romford :lol: )
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...2b9b12f4_o.jpg
Another decent alternative divers, had this nearly 20 years

Good looking watch, similar to a bronze steeldive I picked up a while back, very good for the 100 odd quid I paid for itQuote:

A hand made military black and rose gold leather strap.
Just arrived and looks the business . 24mm
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...8e3077d04e.jpg
Fitted that strap Roy sent. Free to go with this green watch.
It's not much bigger than the silicon one but I've an extra hole.
Think it looks better too.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...d595e4c1c2.jpg
Yep, suits the Pagani that.
Hand made strap looks good, what’s that going on?
this when i get it.. lol "maybe" ive a few 24mm so it could go on another i guessQuote:

Must be quite a large watch if it takes a 24mm strap, smart looking.Quote:
