    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!”

    That last Invicta with the cyclops is cracking. A very well done sub homage, but made it their own.
    I’ve gone very simple today
    A Speedbird 1 from Eddie Platts, an old friend from Sheffield who went on to make some fantastic watches following this one.

    Nice uncluttered design there Steve, what's the movement? Invictas generally use the NH35A.

    Nice one.

    If it's longevity we're talking about I got this Citizen for my 18th birthday making it over 43 years old & still keeping good time.It's a little small at 36mm but that was the norm back then.

    Funnily enough, the design actually looks quite contemporary now!
    Nothing new under the sun.

    One of my few quartz watches, this one's got a bit of a loud, intrusive tick.
