I may actually take up swimming again due to having the ideal swimming watch.
That's a lovely Panny.Quote:

Braun of course make some excellent pieces.
Junghans too.
A Lange & Sohn are awesome if you have cash piling up big time.
Glashutte too.

Here ya go, my oil-filled Sinn UX Hydro EZM 2B.
Even at the most extreme viewing angles, the dial, indices and handset are perfectly viewable; and the same applies under water. :)

Do you wear your watch on your right wrist?
Yep. Have done since 1987. I just prefer it on that wrist, despite being right handed.
im left-handed but wear it on my left ...Quote:

I really wish I got the white dial markers with this watch, the 'old lume' isn't that attractive, and the white markers of the bezel put them in the shade, which isn't what you want with a dial. A nice watch, but reckon I might sell it on Ebay and get the white markers version. I got it from Gnomon watches which seems to be much cheaper than UK sites. That's the bad thing about buying on the web, the good thing is choice, as I doubt very much whether any watch shops in Brighton sell Squale.
Reminds me of the brightly coloured Swatch's of the 80s, I bought a Casio recently, which I really quite like, not bad for 30 odd quid.Quote:

I bought one the day they were released, absolutely love it except for the bluetooth which is next to useless, would have preferred to have multiband instead.Quote:

My copy, only 500 notes. Starting to like this watch now, though I still wish I got the white dial markers rather than the greenish lume ones.Quote:

i think so barry..
Checking their website it suggests their design team are based in London, it goes on to say the watches are hand assembled etc etc but it doesn’t actually say where?Quote:
