Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

I'm Steve.
My experience of wristwatches is limited.
I know my Dad owned a solid 22 carat Gold Omega wristwatch. It was unclear what happened to it after he died.
Somebody ran off with it.
Believe me, I'll catch up with them one day.
Anywhoo, Dad flied us all off to Switzerland one Summer. Arosa, IIRC. Took us to the local wristwatch Shop. The Swiss are tremendously good on time.
I was smitten with a watch called "Jaggi". Maybe with an umlaut over the A. It had a crocodile band. Very classy IMO. Dad bought it for me.
A good timepiece. But similarly disappeared. I suspect I forgot about it when my lovely sister bought me a self-wind Rotary with no hour markings at all.
Now I know who stole that one. But have forgiven them. But it was a thing of loveliness.
Apropos battery replacement - it is my belief that with any battery powered device, the battery initially fitted will alway last longer than any subsequent battery.
Some makes of battery last longer than others, as well as having different mAhour rating. Also avoid any batteries that are made in China - most of them don't last five minutes!
When it comes to watch batteries, I go to Timpsons (the shoe repairers and key cutters) and pay a bit more to have a lifetime battery replacement service for each of our battery-powered watches.

After experiencing a few scratched back plates I replace my own batteries, appropriate tools and decent batteries can be had for pennies on ebay.
Timpson have all the appropriate tools, and I have never experienced a scratched back plate. Mind you between my partner and me, we only have about a half dozen watches that need batteries.

Having in excess of 50 quartz watches I wouldn't want to be bothered with a visit to Timpsons every time one died (don't even know where my local branch is?).
More often than not I already have a battery that will fit (they're so cheap on ebay and often sold in multiples).
Different strokes...
